Depop Fees: The Complete Guide (2026)
Depop's fees confuse sellers because Depop changed them — and much of the internet never updated. This guide lists every current Depop fee, who pays it, what it is charged on, and how much you actually keep, with tables and worked examples.
The short answer for US sellers: there is no selling fee. Your costs are payment processing of 3.3% + $0.45 on the full order total (item + shipping + tax), plus an optional 12% boosting fee if you boost a listing. Buyers pay their own marketplace fee (up to 5% + up to $1) — it never comes out of your money.

Fees by region
| Region | Selling fee | Payment processing | Boosting fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 0% | 3.3% + $0.45 | 12% |
| United Kingdom | 0% | 2.9% + £0.30 | 12% |
| Australia | 0% | 2.6% + $0.30 AUD | 8% |
| Other countries | 10% | Varies by provider | 8% |
The boosting rate of 12% applies to new listings from 23 March 2026 for US/UK sellers; the 8% rate applies to sellers outside the US/UK. Processing is always calculated on item price + shipping + applicable taxes.
1. The selling fee: 0% (and why sites still say 10%)
Depop used to take a 10% selling fee from everyone. That is no longer true. Today, sellers based in the US, UK and Australia pay no selling fee at all. The 10% fee survives only for sellers based outside those three regions, where it is charged on the item sale price excluding taxes (plus shipping, if you don't use a Depop shipping label).
This single change is the biggest source of wrong information about Depop fees. Popular calculators and guides written before the change still deduct 10% from US sellers' payouts — on a $50 sale that's a phantom $5 fee. If a tool shows you a 10% "Depop fee," it is working from an outdated fee schedule. Our calculator applies 0% for US, UK and Australian sellers and 10% only when "Other countries" is selected.
2. Payment processing: the fee every seller pays
Payment processing is the one unavoidable seller cost on Depop. With Depop Payments (powered by Stripe), the US rate is 3.3% + $0.45 per transaction. Two details matter:
- The percentage applies to the full order total — item price + shipping charged to the buyer + any sales tax collected. It is not calculated on the item price alone.
- The fixed $0.45 hits small sales hardest. It is 4.5% of a $10 item before the percentage is even added, which is why fees feel heavy on cheap items.
Example: a $50 item with $5 shipping and no tax has an order total of $55. Processing = 3.3% × $55 + $0.45 = $2.27, so you receive $52.73. The same item with free shipping has an order total of $50, processing of $2.10, and a payout of $47.90 before your own label cost.
3. The boosting fee: 12%, only if you boost
Boosting promotes a listing in search results and the feed. For US and UK sellers it costs 12% of the item's sale price (excluding tax), and it is charged only when a boosted listing actually sells — you never pay for boosts that don't convert. If you ship without a Depop shipping label, the shipping amount may also be included in the boosting fee basis. Sellers outside the US/UK pay 8%.
On a $50 boosted sale, the boosting fee is $6.00 — more than double the processing fee on the same sale. Boosting can be worth it for stale or high-margin items, but run the numbers first: toggle boosting on in the calculator to see the exact effect on your payout. Our dedicated page on Depop commission and transaction fees explains how boosting compares to the old commission model.
4. The buyer marketplace fee: not your cost
Since 18 July 2024, US buyers pay a marketplace fee of up to 5% of the item price, plus a fixed amount of up to $1 (excluding taxes and shipping), shown to them at checkout. For bundles, the percentage part is calculated on the combined purchase price. This fee is paid by the buyer on top of the price — it is never deducted from the seller's payout, and it is refunded in full if the item is refunded.
Why should sellers care about a fee they don't pay? Because it affects what buyers see as the total price of your item. A $50 listing can cost a buyer up to $53.50 before shipping and tax — worth remembering when you price against other platforms, as our Depop vs Grailed comparison shows.
5. How fees are deducted, and refunds
With Depop Payments, all seller fees are deducted from the sale proceeds before the money lands in your Depop Balance — you never receive a separate bill. If a sale is refunded, the fees for that sale are reversed. For details on when the money reaches your bank, see how Depop pays you.
What you keep: quick reference table (US)
Item price only — no shipping charged, no tax, seller keeps the full amount below. "Boosted" shows the same sale with a boosted listing.
| Item price | Processing fee | You keep | Fees as % of price | Boosting fee | You keep (boosted) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $0.78 | $9.22 | 7.8% | $1.20 | $8.02 |
| $20 | $1.11 | $18.89 | 5.6% | $2.40 | $16.49 |
| $30 | $1.44 | $28.56 | 4.8% | $3.60 | $24.96 |
| $50 | $2.10 | $47.90 | 4.2% | $6.00 | $41.90 |
| $75 | $2.93 | $72.07 | 3.9% | $9.00 | $63.07 |
| $100 | $3.75 | $96.25 | 3.8% | $12.00 | $84.25 |
Shipping charged to the buyer is added to the order total before processing is calculated, so your actual payout on a shipped sale will differ — use the fee calculator for exact figures, and the profit calculator to subtract what you paid for the item.
