    What is The Cost of Selling on Depop?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Starting your reselling journey on Depop comes with its own costs, but don\u2019t let that scare you away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From listing your items to finalizing a sale, there are a few charges you’ll encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These fees are a small price to pay for access to Depop’s large audience<\/a> of 35 million users and user-friendly seller features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are several fees<\/a> sellers should know about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Depop Selling Fees <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Also known as Depop commission fees, these seller fees are charges placed on each item sale price. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Depop commission fee is paid to the marketplace to be used on platform maintenance such as improving customer support, marketing, and technical upkeep of the Depop app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    UK Sellers (<\/strong>LATEST 2024 CHANGES<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    For UK-based sellers making sales in GBP (\u00a3), here’s some great news: there are absolutely no selling fees!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In fact, this exciting update was released in March 2024 and applies to all new listings created from March 20th onwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Instead, UK buyers will encounter a marketplace fee<\/strong> of up to 5% of the item price (+ a fixed amount of \u00a31).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Non-UK Sellers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Unfortunately for sellers outside the UK, Depop\u2019s commission fees remain the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sellers will incur a 10% selling fees charge<\/strong> on the item price (excluding taxes), and shipping cost if they haven\u2019t used a Depop Shipping label. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Depop Payment Processing Fees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Also known as transaction fees, these charges are incurred whenever a transaction is made through the platform. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are two types of payment processing fees<\/strong> you should know about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Depop Payments Fee (UK and US Sellers)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Depop Payments is the platform\u2019s integrated payment system<\/a> and it allows buyers to use various payment methods including debit card, credit card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s great about this system is that your funds will be available in your balance immediately <\/strong>after a transaction is complete and the buyers will have a seamless checkout experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can view your balance in the Payments section of your Selling Hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your payout<\/a> will then be transferred to your linked bank account 10 business days<\/strong> following the date of the sale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sellers in the UK<\/strong> will be charged 2.9% + \u00a30.30 on the total transaction amount (including taxes and shipping costs). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sellers in the US<\/strong> will be charged 3.3% + $0.45 on the total transaction amount (including taxes and shipping costs). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    PayPal Fee (Outside the UK\/US)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Sellers based outside the UK and US need to connect their PayPal account to their Depop<\/strong> as Depop Payments isn\u2019t available to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    PayPal, like all other payment processors, will charge all sellers a transaction fee each time a sale is made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The amount will vary depending on your location<\/strong>, so be sure to check this out directly through PayPal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Depop Shipping Fees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    TIP:<\/strong> Add the cost of shipping to your listings\u2019 price and offer free shipping to appeal to potential buyers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Shipping costs will largely vary based on the seller\u2019s location and their shipping option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    UK Sellers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    There are two main shipping options<\/strong> for sellers located in the UK:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Depop Shipping<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      This service allows sellers to ship their items to buyers using a prepaid shipping label <\/strong>directly through Depop (via Evri). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Simply print and attach it to your parcel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Your items will also be fully tracked and eligible for Depop Protection<\/a> in case they are lost or damaged in transit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Depop offers various shipping options<\/strong> based on the size and weight of the item:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Item Weight<\/strong><\/td>Shipping Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
      Small <1kg<\/td>\u00a32.99<\/td><\/tr>
      Medium <2kg<\/td>\u00a34.49<\/td><\/tr>
      Large <5kg<\/td>\u00a36.49<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      NOTE:<\/strong> This service is only available for shipping within the United Kingdom, so if you are looking to sell internationally, you must arrange your own shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Your Own Shipping<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        If you decide to arrange shipping with your own provider, you’ll escape Depop’s shipping fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This allows you the freedom to select a courier service that best meets your needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Just keep in mind that you will need to use a tracked service<\/strong> or Depop won\u2019t recognize your order as shipped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        US Sellers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        There are two main shipping options <\/strong>for sellers located in the US:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Depop Shipping<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          By using this service, US sellers will get access to a pre-addressed and prepaid label<\/strong> directly through Depop (via USPS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Here are the shipping options <\/strong>based on the size and weight of an item<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Item Weight<\/strong><\/td>Shipping Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
          XX-Small <4oz<\/td>$4.49<\/td><\/tr>

          X-Large <10lb<\/td>$13.49<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          NOTE: <\/strong>This service is only available for shipping within the United States, so if you are looking to sell internationally, you must manage your own shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Your Own Shipping<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Arranging your own shipping means that you will be free to choose your own courier service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Just remember to opt for a service that offers tracking. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Boosted Listings Fees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Boosted Listings is an optional Depop tool that helps sellers promote their listings<\/strong> by pushing them higher in search results, category pages, and featured sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            This is a great way to boost organic traffic to your brand, but of course, it comes at a price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The boosting fee is an 8% charge on the item price and shipping cost <\/strong>unless you have opted for Depop shipping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Cost-effective Alternative: <\/strong>Bot for Depop<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

            While Boosted Listings is a useful tool, it comes with a pretty steep price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Consider using a Bot for Depop instead; not only is it cost-effective, but it has more features too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            From automatically relisting and delisting your items for boosted visibility to automatically refreshing items to stay on top of Depop\u2019s search, a growth bot is a fantastic way to invite more buyers to your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            How Can I Calculate the Total Amount of Depop Fees?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            We\u2019ve covered a wide range of fees, so we understand if the task of calculating the total amount seems complicated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            However, doing so is important to find out what the potential profit from each item sold could be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            There are two ways you can find that magic number:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Do It Manually<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Good old pen and paper, or even an organized Excel sheet with some strategic formulas will do the trick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Start by jotting down all the costs associated with your item<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
