eBay to acquire Depop - FAQ
Why did eBay acquire Depop?
eBay believes strongly in recommerce and the future of circular fashion – just like we do. They have deep experience building and supporting global marketplaces that connect buyers and sellers, and they share our belief in the power of communities.
eBay’s mission and capabilities are complementary to what we’ve built at Depop, and we’re excited about this next chapter.
eBay sees the strength in what makes Depop different: our brand, community, platform, and the growth we’ve achieved in resale. This next step creates meaningful opportunities for our entire community –giving us the scale and support to continue growing while staying true to who we are.

Do I need to do anything?
Your day-to-day experience on the platform will not change at this time. Over time, we’re hoping to bring in some of eBay’s capabilities to make the platform even better, while keeping what makes Depop special. This is designed to be as seamless as possible, so there’s nothing you need to do. If anything changes, we’ll communicate these directly.
Is Depop being rebranded as eBay?
No. Depop will keep its distinct brand, culture, platform, and the experience you all know while getting access to eBay's tools and capabilities over time. You have helped create something truly special. Depop was born from community, and that has always been at the heart of everything we do. That is something we, and eBay, deeply value.
