Heads up, we're fully transitioning to Depop Payments in the US & UK from October 23, 2023 - check out the Help Centre article here to find out more about this.
We offer both PayPal and Depop Payments to give our users more flexibility while buying and selling on Depop. Depending on which methods your seller accepts, you can check out using either of these options. Even without a PayPal account, you are still covered by PayPal Buyer Protection if you use PayPal checkout.
Why should I get a PayPal account?
Thinking about getting a PayPal account? Here are some of the reasons why we would recommend it:
- You have more options when buying on the app
- As long as you login at the checkout, you can view your PayPal transactions in one place
- You can use your PayPal balance to check out on Depop
- You have more options when buying on the app
- It's simpler to open and track a PayPal dispute
- If you decide to start selling on Depop, you can just connect your verified PayPal and you'll be ready to go
I don't have a PayPal account
No PayPal account? No problem. We do suggest creating an account so you can view any purchases you made through PayPal more easily.
If you are considering selling on Depop in future, you will need a PayPal account.
- You do not need a PayPal account to buy on Depop
- To sell on Depop, you need a verified PayPal account
- You can check out via PayPal guest checkout or Depop Payments (if your seller offers this)
