Do I need to use PayPal?

If you are a seller who is located outside of the US/UK, you need to connect your PayPal account as PayPal is the only payment method upon checkout outside of the US/UK. 


If you are a seller who is located in the US/UK you need to sign-up to Depop Payments instead of PayPal in order to list and sell.

If you are a seller who is located in Australia, you need to connect your PayPal account to list and sell. Depop Payments is also available as another payment method to sell on the platform.

If you use PayPal checkout on Depop as a buyer you are automatically covered by PayPal Buyer Protection.

Buyer - I don't have a PayPal account

If you are a buyer and purchase from a seller that offers PayPal as a payment option we’d also suggest creating a PayPal account so you can view any purchases you made through PayPal more easily.

  • You do not need a PayPal account to buy on Depop but it’s easier to keep track of your purchases if you have one
  • You can check out via PayPal guest checkout or Depop Payments (if your seller is in the US/UK/AU)
  • You can use your PayPal balance to check out on Depop
