US sellers have two options
- Arrange your own shipping: Arrange worldwide shipping yourself (go down to your local post office or purchase a shipping label through a third party etc)
- ’Ship With Depop': Ship through Depop with USPS (Mainland USA only)
SUPER IMPORTANT: Only send the item to the address on the in-app receipt to be protected by PayPal's Seller Protection, and be sure to keep proof of postage in case something goes wrong.**
How do I use Ship with Depop?
- Tap ‘delivery’, select ‘Ship with Depop’ and enter your shipping address
- Select ‘package size’. Choose the size/weight of the item
- Tap ‘who pays’, and choose either:
- Buyer pays for shipping - the price of the sale plus the value of the label will be sent to your PayPal.
- From there, Depop will take our 10% and the cost of the label in the same charge
- I will pay for shipping - the price of the item will be sent to your PayPal
- From there, Depop will take our 10% and the cost of the label in the same charge
Note: if you choose ‘buyer pays for shipping’, you’ll initially be paid extra (price of the item + cost of the label), and then the label cost will be taken with your fee in one single charge. This can be a little confusing, so check out a breakdown below:
| Example of how the transaction(s) appears in PayPal using a 'small' label | |
| Buyer pays for shipping | I will pay for shipping |
|
Item ($40) and shipping ($4.75): $44.75 PayPal fee (2.9% + $0.30 = $1.60) $43.15 Depop 10% ($4) + 'small' label (4.75) = (-$8.75) Total after all deductions: $34.40 |
Item price: $40 PayPal fee (2.9% +$0.30 = $1.46) $38.54 Depop 10% ($4) + 'small' label ($4.75) = (-$8.75) Total after deductions: $29.80 |

BORING BUT IMPORTANT: As a seller, it is always your responsibility to send items tracked and keep proof of postage. This is because the seller is the only party that can prove that the item has been sent properly. This is really important because if something goes wrong (like the buyer claiming that their item hasn't arrived), you must have proof that you've shipped it off properly.
Without tracking, the buyer, Depop, and PayPal have no way of determining whether or not the item was sent, or where it was sent. So please send that parcel tracked!
