Depop fees explained - UK 2026

The short version

Depop dropped its 10% UK seller commission in 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

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 sold the same item before the commission was dropped, under the old 10% rate, 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

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 (on new listings from 23 March 2026, Depop says) is charged only when a buyer who saw or interacted with your boosted listing buys within 28 days, but when it applies it is far bigger than the processing fee. 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.
