Depop's 0% Fee Model — Is It Really Free to Sell?

The Headline: 0% Marketplace Fee

Sellers based in the US, UK and Australia pay 0% marketplace commission on Depop — only payment processing. For US and UK sellers the change came in July 2024. This was a major shift — Depop previously charged 10% on every sale, matching Mercari.

Sellers based elsewhere (outside the US, UK and Australia) still pay the 10% marketplace fee.

What You Still Pay

Payment processing isn't free. US sellers pay 3.3% + $0.45 per transaction via Stripe (Depop Payments).

That's it. $2.00 in fees on a $47 sale. Compare that to Poshmark ($9.40 on the same sale) or eBay ($6.79).

The Old Catch — Legacy Listings

When the 0% rate launched in July 2024, it applied to new or updated listings — older listings created before then kept the 10% fee until you edited and saved them.

Depop's fee page no longer makes that distinction. As FeePilot last verified it on October 20, 2026, sellers based in the US, UK and Australia pay no selling fee at all — only payment processing.

Boosted Listings Add Up

If you use Depop's "Boost" feature to promote listings, you pay an additional fee when the item sells through the boost:

• US & UK: 12% boost fee (since March 23, 2026)
• Australia: 8% boost fee

This stacks on top of the payment processing fee. A boosted $40 sale with $7 shipping in the US would cost you 12% ($5.64) + processing ($2.00) = $7.64 total. That's more than 13 of the 18 other platforms FeePilot tracks that can ship it would charge on the same sale — no longer "free."

How It Compares

Depop is now one of the cheapest major platforms for US sellers:

• Cheaper than: Mercari (10%), eBay (13.6%+), Poshmark (20%)
• Similar to: PayPal G&S (~3%), Vinted (0% but no US market for most categories)
• Only free-er: OfferUp local pickup (0%) and Vinted (0%)
