Depop Fees in 2026: What Depop Really Takes Per Sale

Good news for US sellers: the old 10% Depop commission is gone. Here's exactly what Depop takes now, with a free calculator to see your real take-home.

If you've sold on Depop for a while, you probably remember the dreaded 10% selling fee that came off the top of every sale. The biggest change in recent years is simple: that 10% fee was removed for US sellers in 2024. Today, the only mandatory cost on a US Depop sale is a payment processing fee. This guide breaks down every Depop seller fee in 2026, shows a worked example, and gives you a calculator so you always know your payout before you sell.

The short answer: how much does Depop take?

For US sellers in 2026, Depop charges a single mandatory fee:

• Payment processing fee: 3.3% + $0.45 per transaction.
• This is charged on the total — the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays.
• No selling fee. The old 10% commission no longer applies to US sellers.
• No listing fee. You can list as many items as you want for free.

So if you sell a $50 item, Depop is no longer taking $5 in commission plus processing. The selling fee is $0, and you only pay the small processing fee. That's a meaningful difference on every single sale.

The "no more 10% fee" history (US, 2024)

For years, Depop's model looked a lot like its competitors: a flat percentage commission on top of payment processing. Sellers were paying 10% of the sale as a selling fee, on top of the processing cost. In 2024, Depop removed that 10% selling fee for US sellers, restructuring around payment processing and an optional promotion product instead.

International note: This change applies to US sellers. Some markets outside the US may still charge a 10% selling fee. If you sell from outside the United States, check your local Depop fee page to confirm whether the 10% commission still applies to your account before you price your items.

Depop fee calculator

Enter your item price, the shipping the buyer pays, and (optionally) what the item cost you. This calculates the 3.3% + $0.45 processing fee and your take-home for a US seller.

Worked example: a $50 item with $5 shipping

Say you sell a vintage jacket for $50 and the buyer pays $5 shipping. Depop charges the processing fee on the combined total of $55:

• Percentage part: 3.3% of $55 = $1.815
• Fixed part: $0.45
• Total processing fee: $1.815 + $0.45 = ≈ $2.27

That leaves you with about $52.73 before your own item cost and shipping label. Under the old 10% selling fee, you'd have paid roughly $5.50 in commission on top of processing — so the 2024 change saves US sellers real money on every order.

Boosted Listings: the one optional cost

Depop offers Boosted Listings, an optional promotion that pushes your item to more shoppers. If you turn it on, it costs an extra 12% of the sale price — but importantly, you're only charged that 12% if the boosted item actually sells. If it doesn't sell, you pay nothing for the boost.

Because boosting is optional and stacks on top of your processing fee, factor it in carefully. On a $50 item, a boost adds about $6 to your cost, which can erase the margin on lower-priced pieces. Use it on items where the extra visibility is worth giving up roughly 12%.

A note on buyer fees

You may have seen mention of a Depop "buyer protection" or service fee. That fee is charged to the buyer at checkout — it is not a seller cost and does not come out of your payout. When you calculate your take-home, ignore it; the only thing coming out of your side is the processing fee (plus any optional boost).

Depop vs Poshmark, Mercari, and eBay

Here's how Depop's US seller fees compare with other major resale platforms. This is comparison context — confirm each platform's current rates directly.

Depop figure shown on the $50 item price alone (3.3% × $50 + $0.45 = $2.10); it rises slightly once buyer-paid shipping is added to the total. Other platforms shown on a $50 item for comparison. Rates change — verify before pricing.

On a like-for-like $50 item, Depop's US seller cost is dramatically lower than Poshmark's 20% or eBay's ~13%. For US sellers, the removal of the 10% commission makes Depop one of the cheapest mainstream platforms to sell on.

How to keep more of your money

Low fees only help if you actually track them. A few habits make a real difference:

• Price with the fee built in. Add roughly 3.3% + $0.45 to your target payout so the processing fee doesn't eat your margin.
• Account for the total. Remember the fee applies to item price plus shipping — bundling shipping into a higher item price doesn't dodge it.
• Boost selectively. Only use Boosted Listings where giving up ~12% still leaves a healthy profit.
• Track cost basis. Your real profit is payout minus what you paid for the item and your shipping label. Track every item so you know your true margin.
