Community Guidelines

To help you get the most out of Depop, we’ve established some guidelines so everyone can shop fairly, stay safe and keep our community welcoming.

These form part of our Terms of Service.

Be respectful and inclusive

We have a zero-tolerance policy for:

Bullying or harassment
Hateful, threatening or abusive language about anyone’s gender, race, religion, sexuality, disability or background
Body shaming, sexual advances or offensive comments
Pornography or sexually explicit content
Threats of violence, intimidation or violent language
Promotion of self-harm or eating disorders

Never share someone’s personal details to threaten or harass them.

Only list allowed items

We will remove any illegal, dangerous or counterfeit goods listed for sale, including weapons, drugs and fakes. See our full list of prohibited items.

Always keep transactions on Depop

Only buy and sell on Depop. All users should use Depop Payments (or PayPal if you’re outside the US or UK) and never move payments or trades off-platform. Trying to make private deals to avoid fees means you’re not protected if anything goes wrong.

Be honest in your listings

All sellers should make sure every listing has honest descriptions and photos. They should:

Use original images
Never use stock photos or copied listings
Avoid misleading titles and irrelevant hashtags

We don’t allow users to pretend to be someone else or copy another user’s items.

If you see content on Depop that goes against our Community Guidelines, or if you have an interaction with another user that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please report it to us so we can help.
