I don't recognise a fee or charge

When you sell an item, Depop will automatically charge the 10% fee on the total transaction amount, including shipping costs. This charge will be taken directly from your PayPal account or the card you are using for payments.

Confused about a fee you have been charged? All Depop fees we charge are related to sales where your PayPal account was set as the funding source. You can always check your sales breakdown on recent sales through the Depop app.

Go to > All Sold Items > To review any recent sales
You will be charged a Depop fee automatically after a sale. This sometimes can be delayed up to 21 days

I have recent sales

When working out your fees or total sales amount, factor in the standard transaction cost charged by PayPal/Stripe. You will be paid the total item cost + shipping, but the transaction cost will be applied before your funds hit your account.

I arranged my own shipping

If you have arranged your own shipping, your fees will just be 10% for the Depop fee. This is 10% of the total transaction amount, so item cost + shipping.

Review your recent sales receipts. If you have accidentally charged too much for shipping or put a higher/lower value for the item cost, your Depop fee may be higher than expected
Check your sales to see whether you initially listed the item with Depop shipping, if so, you will be charged for the label

I used Depop shipping

When you ship with Depop, the cost of the label is always deducted from the seller along with the Depop fee. If your buyer is paying for shipping, you will be paid for the item plus the label when you receive you funds from the sale.

The label cost will be removed with the fee
Buyer paid for shipping? You will be paid for the total value of the sale + shipping label cost. The label and fee will be deducted together.
Offering free shipping? You will be paid for the item cost. The Depop fee and the label cost will be deducted together.

I used Boosted Listings

If you use Boosted Listings, you will only be charged a fee if the buyer clicked on the boosted tile and went goes on to purchase the item within 28 days. If this happens, you will be charged an additional 8% fee. Read more about how Boosted Listings works here.

I sold a bundle

When you sell a Bundle on Depop, your fees and label will be deducted per item sold rather instead of a single amount. You should see a fee deduction per item sold in the bundle, this may include shipping label deductions.

Seeing a charge directly on your bank?

Check your Depop automatic payments funding source:

Login to your PayPal account > Settings > Payments > View automatic payments > Select Depop > Check which account is set up for your funding source

- If you did not have enough money in your PayPal balance, some of the Depop fee costs may have been deducted from your connected bank account

- Check with your banking provider to see whether this may be a charge linked to an extended account limit or unauthorised overdraft

Check your other email addresses, if you sold through Depop you will always have a transaction receipt emailed to you after a sale
Review any previous Depop accounts you may have, if any open accounts have active listings, people may still be able to purchase your items, which will result in a Depop fee
Have you previously allowed someone else to use your PayPal account on Depop? Check in with them, if they have not removed it, your PayPal account may still be linked and charged for fees
Share a PayPal account with family or friends? Check which details are being used as a funding source for Depop fees
