Depop fees explained - UK 2026

Last updated 1 June 2026

See exactly what you'd take home at your asking price:

The short version

Depop dropped its 10% UK seller commission in July 2024. What remains is a payment-processing fee — 2.9% + £0.30 per transaction — that comes off your payout. There's no listing fee and no monthly cost. If you choose to boost a listing for extra visibility, that's a separate optional fee.

For most casual sellers in the UK, Depop is now cheaper than it used to be — but it's still meaningfully more expensive per sale than Vinted, where standard sales cost a seller nothing.

The current fee structure

Fee	Who pays	Amount
Listing fee	—	£0
Selling commission	—	£0 (since July 2024)
Payment processing fee	Seller	2.9% + £0.30 per transaction (applied to item price + shipping + any tax)
Boosted listing	Seller (optional)	12% of the sale price in the UK
Shipping label (if using Depop-integrated shipping)	Seller (optional)	Cost of the courier you choose

The payment-processing fee is charged on the total transaction, not just the item price — so the shipping the buyer pays is also included in the 2.9%.

Worked example

You list a vintage Dickies jacket at £40, with £4.50 shipping.

Total transaction (item + shipping): £44.50
Payment processing fee: £44.50 × 2.9% + £0.30 = £1.59
You receive: £42.91 minus the cost of postage if you used Depop's integrated label

If you'd used the same listing pre-July 2024 under the old 10% commission, you'd have paid an additional ~£4.45 — so the new model is roughly £4–5 better per sale on a £40 item.

How this compares to other UK platforms

Platform	Seller commission	Other fees on the seller
Depop UK	0% (since July 2024)	2.9% + £0.30 payment processing per transaction
Vinted UK	0%	None on standard sales
eBay UK (private)	0% on most items	40p per order over £10; £0.35 per listing above the 300 free monthly allowance
Vestiaire Collective	Tiered (often 5% on items £100+; promotional 0% on many GBP brands; £5 fixed on items under £100)	3% payment processing (or £3 fixed on items under £100)

On pure fee maths, Vinted is now cheaper for the same sale. Where Depop still wins is on audience: it's the strongest platform in the UK for streetwear, Y2K, vintage, and trend-led items where the buyer is shopping aesthetics as much as wardrobe basics.

Things worth knowing

The fee comes off your payout, not the buyer's price. A £20 sale gets you ~£19.12 (less postage if you bought a Depop label). Price your item with that in mind.
Boosted listings are optional. The 12% boost fee in the UK is meaningful — it doubles the effective cost of the sale. Use it for items you genuinely want to push, not as a default.
Depop's audience skews younger than Vinted. That's a real factor in whether your item will sell, not just at what fee.
Shipping costs count toward the processing fee. If you charge a separate shipping cost, that adds to the 2.9% base — so a flat-shipped £40 item with £5 postage is £45 × 2.9% + £0.30, not £40 × 2.9% + £0.30.
