Depop selling fees (2026)
Depop made US selling free of commission in 2024: no listing fee, no selling percentage — just a payment processing charge per sale. Here is the full structure and a five-way comparison at real price points.
The fee list (US sellers)
| Fee | Amount | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Selling commission | 0% | The old 10% was removed for US sellers on July 15, 2024 — none |
| Payment processing | 3.3% + $0.45 | Per sale via Depop Payments — applied to the item price plus shipping (and sales tax where collected) |
| Listing fee | Free | Listing and relisting costs nothing |
| Boosted Listings | Optional | You pick an ad rate to boost visibility — charged only on a sale from the boost |
| Marketplace fee | Buyer-side | Up to $5% + $$1 added to the buyer's total — not deducted from your earnings |

Depop vs Etsy vs eBay vs Poshmark vs Mercari
Approximate platform take on a completed sale at real price points (Depop is processing only; Etsy includes its $0.20 listing fee; eBay includes the per-order fee; Poshmark's commission applies to the item only):
| Sale | Depop | Etsy | eBay | Poshmark | Mercari |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $12 item | ~$0.85 | ~$1.59 | ~$2.03 | ~$2.95 | ~$1.20 |
| $25 item (+$5 ship) | ~$1.44 | ~$3.30 | ~$4.48 | ~$5.00 | ~$3.00 |
| $100 item (+$5 ship) | ~$3.92 | ~$10.42 | ~$14.68 | ~$20.00 | ~$10.50 |
The shape of it: Depop's processing-only take is the lowest of the five at every price shown — the gap is widest on small sales, where other platforms' fixed fees bite hardest. Mercari's flat 10% and Etsy's ~10% follow; eBay's 13.6% and Poshmark's 20% trail. But Depop's audience skews fashion-first, and its buyer-side fee can damp demand — a cheaper sheet is only a win if the buyers are there for what you sell.
Frequently asked questions
Does Depop charge sellers a commission?
Not in the US anymore. Depop removed its 10% selling fee for US sellers on July 15, 2024 — you keep 100% of your item price. The only seller-side cost is the Depop Payments processing fee: 3.3% + $0.45 per sale, applied to the item price plus shipping (and sales tax where collected). On a $50 sale with $6 shipping, that fee is about $2.30, leaving you roughly $53.70. Rates as of 2026 — confirm on depop.com.
What is the Depop marketplace fee I hear buyers complain about?
That is a buyer-side fee, not yours: Depop adds up to 5% + $1 to the buyer's total at checkout. It does not come out of your earnings — your payout is the item price plus shipping minus the 3.3% + $0.45 processing fee. Sellers only see it indirectly if price-sensitive buyers budget it in.
Is Depop cheaper than Etsy, eBay, Poshmark or Mercari?
On pure percentage, yes — 3.3% + $0.45 is the lowest take of the five at most price points. On a $25 item with $5 shipping, Depop costs about $1.44 against Etsy's $3.30, eBay's $4.48, Mercari's $3.00 and Poshmark's $5.00. Two caveats: Depop's buyer-side fee can shrink demand, and optional Boosted Listings cost extra if you want visibility. Cheapest sheet is not the same as the best marketplace for your items.
