The Ultimate Guide to Depop Fees in 2026
Selling vintage clothes and streetwear on Depop is a massive hustle. However, if you don't calculate your margins correctly, fees and shipping costs can quickly eat into your profits. We built this free Depop fee calculator to give sellers 100% transparency.
The New "Zero Selling Fee" Policy (US & UK)
In a major shift, Depop recently eliminated its notorious 10% flat selling fee for domestic sellers in the United States and the United Kingdom. This aligns them with competitors like Vinted. However, it does NOT mean selling is completely free.
You still have to pay Payment Processing Fees:
- US Sellers: 3.3% + $0.45 per transaction via Depop Payments.
- UK Sellers: 2.9% + £0.30 per transaction.
- Rest of World: The standard 10% selling fee applies, plus local processing fees.
