When you sell an item, Depop will automatically charge the 10% fee on the total transaction amount received and any shipping costs where the seller has arranged their own shipping. Fees are not charged against Depop Shipping labels. This charge will be taken directly from your PayPal account or the card you are using for payments.
I don't recognise a fee or charge
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
- Been charged for a Depop label? Contact Support with your proof of shipping to get a refund
I used in-app shipping label
If you've chosen to ‘Ship with Evri’ (in the UK) or ‘Ship with USPS’ (in the US), 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.
- Been charged for a Depop label and want a refund? Contact Support with your proof of shipping or a screenshot of your refund to the buyer
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.
Check your current bundle settings on the app.
