Depop Selling Fee
For US eligible USD sales, the Depop Selling fee is 0%. This is the fee people traditionally refer to as "the Depop fee" — and for US sellers, it costs nothing.
Payment processing (3.3% + $0.45) still applies on every sale. Non-US sellers or different sale types may have different fee arrangements — check the Depop Help Center for the most current rates.
Note: eBay's planned acquisition of Depop (announced 2026) is currently under UK CMA review. Depop's fee structure reflects its official Help Center as of June 2026 and has not changed as a result of the acquisition announcement.
Depop Payment Processing Fee
The payment processing fee is the main cost to US Depop sellers. It applies to the full order base: item price + buyer shipping + tax.
Payment Processing Example
$50 item + $7.50 buyer shipping + $5 tax
($50.00 + $7.50 + $5.00) × 3.3% + $0.45
= $62.50 × 3.3% + $0.45
= $2.0625 + $0.45
= $2.51
Depop Marketplace Fee for Buyers
Buyers on Depop pay a marketplace fee at checkout. This fee is estimated at up to 5% of item price + up to $1 fixed fee. The fee base excludes taxes and shipping.
This fee is displayed at checkout and varies by transaction. In the Depop Fee Calculator, the buyer marketplace fee is labeled as "estimated / editable" because the exact amount can vary.
Critically: this fee is paid by the buyer and is NOT deducted from the seller's payout. The seller receives the full item price minus payment processing, regardless of the buyer fee.
Depop Boosted Listing Fee
Boosted listings are an optional Depop feature for UK and US sellers. When you boost a listing:
- The boosted listing fee is 12% of (item price + buyer shipping)
- It is only charged when a boosted item actually sells
- Tax is not included in the boosted fee base
- Boosting is off by default in the Depop Fee Calculator

Depop has two separate financial tracks. Understanding both helps you price strategically:
These tracks are independent. The buyer marketplace fee is paid by the buyer to Depop — it does not reduce the seller's payout. Use the Depop Fee Calculator to see both tracks side by side.
