All items purchased on Depop must be paid for using Depop Payments via Stripe or PayPal. No other payment methods are allowed.

1. Payment for transactions must take place via one of our third party payment providers, Depop Payments via Stripe or PayPal. Depop Payments via Stripe enables sellers to accept payment by major credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and through Klarna (where available).

4. If you are in the UK, in order to sign-up to Depop Payments via Stripe, you must agree to a Direct Debit mandate with us. The mandate authorises Depop to debit your bank account by using the Bankers’ Automated Clearing Services (Bacs) if, for example, the net activity in your account on a day is negative or we need you to fund your account for any other reason relating to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. We will do so in accordance with our Direct Debit Policy. If you are in the US, you authorise Depop to debit your bank account where necessary in accordance with this section 8.4, when you sign up to Depop Payments via Stripe. If you are in Australia, in order to sign-up to Depop Payments via Stripe, you must agree to a Direct Debit Request.

5. If we need to reimburse a buyer because your Depop Payments account is in negative balance, you will be required to repay us for this amount and a debt will be created for the amount that you owe us for the refund. We will try to collect this amount from your bank (in accordance with section 8.4 above) or via a Stripe payment link sent to you by us. Whilst your Depop Payments account is in negative balance, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Service in accordance with section 7.3 of these Terms of Service.

6. Through Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden, we offer certain Klarna payment options: in the UK, “Pay in 3 installments” or ‘Pay in 30 days” and in the US, “Pay in 4 installments”.

8. Requesting, making or accepting payment for an item in any other way (known as an “out-of-app” payment) is a serious breach of the Terms of Service and may result in us suspending or terminating your access to the Service in accordance with section 7.3 of these Terms of Service.

10. If we suspend or terminate your access to the Service (in accordance with section 7.3 of these Terms of Service), we may withhold any amounts that have not yet been paid out to you for 180 days from the applicable transaction date, or such other period where required by law enforcement or in compliance with sanctions rules.

15. Our liability/responsibility to you

Whether you are a consumer or a Business User:

1. We provide the Services with reasonable care and skill.

2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

If you are a consumer:

3. We do not accept responsibility for any loss or damage:

That was not caused by our breach of the Terms of Service.
That was not, at the time you agreed to the Terms of Service, a reasonably foreseeable consequence of us breaching the Terms of Service. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Terms were entered into, both we and you knew it might happen.

If you are a Business User:

Your use of the Services will meet your requirements.

Any information obtained by you as a result of your use of the Services will be accurate or reliable or free from error.
Defects in the operation or functionality of any software provided to you as part of the Services will be corrected.

16. Your responsibility to us if you are a Business User

If you're a Business User and a third party brings a claim against Depop because of something your business has done on Depop, you have to pay our fees and costs.

1. If you are a Business User, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Depop, its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs, damages, losses and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with:

17. Resolving Disputes

If you have a dispute with us, please contact us via our Help Centre here so we can try and sort things out. If you're a Business User based in the EU, we also offer mediation. If you have a dispute with other users, see here for details of our Dispute Resolution Centre.

Disputes with us:

1. If you have a dispute with us relating to the Service, in the first instance please contact us via our Help Centre here and we will try to resolve the issue informally.

2. We prefer to resolve any disagreement through the internal complaint handling system as this offers the quickest and most cost-effective solution to everyone involved.

3. If you are a Business User based in the EU and you are not satisfied with the outcome of our internal complaint handling system, you may refer your dispute to the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) for mediation. Should the parties agree to enter into mediation they will make reasonable attempts to resolve the dispute and will do so in accordance with the CEDR’s mediation procedures. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties within 14 days of notice of the dispute, the mediator will be nominated by CEDR. To initiate the mediation a party must give notice in writing to the other party to the dispute, referring the dispute to mediation. A copy of the referral should be sent to CEDR.

4. In the case of a mediation:

Discussions shall take place in English.
The mediation will be held remotely with the use of communication technologies.
We will bear a reasonable portion of the total cost of the mediation with the exact proportion to be determined by the mediator. Relevant aspects of the case at hand will be taken into account, in particular the relative merits of the claims of the parties to the dispute, the conduct of the parties, as well as the size and financial strength of the parties relative to one another. The remainder of the total cost will be borne by you.
Prior to the mediation, both of us will sign a mediation agreement with wording to be suggested by the mediator.

Disputes with other users relating to a transaction:

5. Sellers are ultimately responsible for the items sold to buyers on Depop. Whilst Depop can provide support in resolving disputes between users, buyers should engage with sellers directly to resolve disputes.

6. To raise an issue or dispute with another Depop user, follow the steps below:

For items that have not arrived. Buyers should raise a dispute via the Resolution Centre. Sellers will receive a notification if their buyer has raised a dispute and Depop will only step in if the issue cannot be resolved between buyer and seller.
If you’ve received an item which isn’t as described or for all other issues. You’ll need to open a case directly with Depop as set out here.
For any PayPal transaction. Buyers who purchased using PayPal will need to raise any disputes directly via PayPal.

7. If a dispute is escalated to Depop, or a case is opened, Depop will attempt to help you resolve disputes in good faith and based solely on our interpretation of our Policies, in our sole discretion. We will not make judgments regarding legal issues or claims. Users must comply with all timelines set by Depop whilst we attempt to resolve your dispute. Depop has no obligation to resolve any disputes however, as a seller, you agree that Depop may resolve a dispute or case on your behalf, which may include (but is not limited to) issuing a refund to the buyer and recouping funds from your Stripe connected account (if payment was made via Depop Payments).

8. You may be eligible for Depop Protection, which covers buyers and sellers in the UK, US and Australia. You can see more about Depop Protection here for sellers and here for buyers.

18. Changes and limitations to the Service

Now and then we make changes to our Service. We try to make sure Depop is always up and running but occasionally this isn't possible.

1. We are constantly updating and improving the Service. In order to do this, we may need to update, reset, stop offering and/or supporting a particular part of the Service, or feature relating to the Service. These changes to the Service may affect your past or current activities on the Service, features that you use and your User Content.

2. You understand that it is important for us to be able to make changes to our Service and this is an important basis on which we give you access to the Service.

3. You also understand that our Service will not always be available or be uninterrupted. Although it is our intention that our Service is available as much as possible, there may also be occasions when the Service may be interrupted, including for scheduled maintenance, upgrades and emergency repairs, or due to failure of telecommunication links and/or equipment. We will do our best to let you know if the Service is going to be interrupted but there may be times we cannot do so, for example if we need to make emergency repairs.

19. Changes to the Terms of Service

We may need to update the Terms of Service from time to time and we’ll give you notice if we believe the changes are material. You can see when we last made changes at the top of this page.

1. We may update the Terms of Service to:

Reflect changes in our services or how we do business, for example, when we add new features.
Take account of changes in the law.
Address a security risk or prevent abuse of our Services.

2. If we make a material change to the Terms of Service, we’ll provide you with reasonable advance notice, except in urgent situations, such as to address a security risk or if we are responding to a legal obligation placed on us. If you don’t agree to the updated terms, you should stop using the Services and terminate your account.

3. Every time you use the Services, please check the Terms of Service to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time. You will be able to see when the Terms of Service last changed by looking at the “effective date” at the top of this page.

20. General terms

These are important legal terms about how the Terms of Service work as a contract. Let us know if you need any help in understanding what they mean for you.

1. The current version of the Terms of Service and our Policies contain the only terms and conditions that apply to our relationship with you. Older versions of the Terms of Service or our Policies will no longer apply to our relationship and will be completely replaced by the current version.

2. If a court or relevant authority finds part of the Terms of Service illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of the Terms of Service operate separately, so if any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs remain in full force and effect.

3. If you do not comply with the Terms of Service and we do not take action immediately, this does not mean we have given up any right we have and we may still take action in the future.

4. The Terms of Service do not create an agency, partnership, employment or joint venture relationship between you and Depop.

Relevant aspects of the case at hand will be taken into account, in particular the relative merits of the claims of the parties to the dispute, the conduct of the parties, as well as the size and financial strength of the parties relative to one another. The remainder of the total cost will be borne by you.
Prior to the mediation, both of us will sign a mediation agreement with wording to be suggested by the mediator.

Disputes with other users relating to a transaction:

6. To raise an issue or dispute with another Depop user, follow the steps below:

For items that have not arrived. Buyers should raise a dispute via the Resolution Centre. Sellers will receive a notification if their buyer has raised a dispute and Depop will only step in if the issue cannot be resolved between buyer and seller.
If you’ve received an item which isn’t as described or for all other issues. You’ll need to open a case directly with Depop as set out here.
For any PayPal transaction. Buyers who purchased using PayPal will need to raise any disputes directly via PayPal.
