Depop Fees Explained 2026: The 10% Fee Is Gone

What changed, and when

For most of Depop's history, sellers paid a flat 10% commission on every sale. In July 2024, Depop removed that fee entirely for sellers based in the US and UK, keeping only the payment processing charge that was always part of the transaction. It was a competitive response to fee-free rivals like Vinted, and it meaningfully changed the platform's cost structure — but a lot of content published before, or never updated after, that change still cites the old 10% rate.

The rollout has continued since: Depop's Help Centre confirms Australia's selling fee is scheduled for removal in July 2026, suggesting the company is working through additional markets on the same timeline.

What US sellers actually pay in 2026

• Selling fee: $0. No commission on the sale itself for US-based sellers.
• Payment processing: 3.3% + $0.45 per transaction, applied to the item price plus any shipping you charge the buyer. This is a Depop Payments (Stripe) charge, not a Depop commission.
• No listing fee. Listing items has always been free on Depop and remains so.
• Optional Boosted Listings: a promotional fee (around 12% in the US/UK) that applies only if you pay to boost a listing and it sells as a result. This is opt-in, not a standard cost.

UK sellers see a similar structure with 2.9% + £0.30 processing instead. Sellers outside the US and UK should check their regional fee schedule directly, since the 10% commission still applies in most other markets.

Worked example: a $50 sale

Compare that to the pre-2024 math on the same sale: a 10% selling fee ($5.00) plus processing would have cost roughly $6.50-$7.00 in total — over three times what a US seller pays today. Run your own numbers in the Depop fee calculator.

How Depop compares to Poshmark and Etsy now

With the 10% fee gone, the competitive picture has shifted significantly. Here's the fee-only comparison at four price points:

Depop and Poshmark = no shipping charged. Etsy = item + $0 shipping, no offsite ads. All USD. See the full breakdown in the comparison tool.

Depop now wins the fee comparison outright against both platforms at every price point shown. The gap is largest against Poshmark's 20% bracket on higher-priced items, and narrower — but still consistent — against Etsy's stacked fee structure.

Fees aren't the only consideration, though. Depop's audience skews younger and leans heavily toward streetwear, Y2K fashion, and vintage — if your inventory doesn't fit that niche, a lower fee doesn't help if the item doesn't sell. Poshmark and Etsy each have their own buyer bases that may move certain inventory faster despite the higher cut.

Common mistakes now that the fee has changed

• Still pricing in a 10% buffer that no longer applies. If you've been adding 10% to your target price out of habit, you're now overpricing relative to competitors who've adjusted.
• Trusting old blog posts or forum threads for current rates. Given how recently this changed, cross-check any Depop fee claim against Depop's own Help Centre or a calculator that's been verified against it.
• Forgetting Boosted Listings is optional, not standard. The 12% boost fee only applies if you choose to promote a listing and it sells as a result — it's not part of the baseline cost.
• Assuming the $0 selling fee applies everywhere. If you or your buyers are outside the US/UK, confirm your specific market's schedule — the 10% fee is still standard in most other countries as of 2026.
