Depop Fee Calculator — 10% Selling Fee + Processing
Calculate Depop's 10% selling fee plus payment processing on any sale — see your real payout and effective take rate.
Last reviewed 2026-10-01. Rates change — verify against the official sources linked below before relying on these figures.
What this is based on
- Depop selling fee: 10% of the total transaction including shipping charged to the buyer.
- Depop Payments processing approximated at 3.3% + $0.45 (US); rates vary slightly by country.
- Optional boosting fee (8% on boosted sales) is not included.
Depop's real take is ~14–18%, not 10%
The headline 10% selling fee hides the second layer: payment processing around 3.3% + $0.45. On a $30 sale that's $3.00 + $1.44 — a $4.44 total, or 14.8% of the transaction. On smaller items the fixed $0.45 pushes it further: a $10 vintage tee loses over 17% before shipping.
The fee also applies to shipping you charge buyers — charging $6 shipping means $0.60 of it goes to Depop, plus processing on the full amount. 'Free shipping' priced into the item doesn't dodge the fee, it just changes where it shows.
Depop vs Poshmark for secondhand fashion
Depop's ~14% all-in take beats Poshmark's flat 20% meaningfully on most price points, and its audience skews younger (Y2K, streetwear, vintage). Poshmark wins on structured shipping and closet-share mechanics for mall brands. Serious resellers cross-list everything and let sell-through decide — the fee difference is real but secondary to where your specific items move faster.
The boosting trade-off
Depop's Boosted Listings add 8% on attributed sales — stacking onto the ~14% base take. On a thin-margin item that's the difference between profit and break-even. Boost selectively on stale inventory where 8% beats another month unsold, not as a default.
