How Does Depop Pay You?
When you sell on Depop, you don't get paid the moment the buyer checks out. Your money moves in two steps — into your Depop Balance first, then out to your bank account when you withdraw it. Here's exactly how it works and when to expect your money.
Quick answer: After a sale, the money (minus Depop's fees) is paid into your Depop Balance 2 business days after the item shows as delivered, or 10 business days after the sale — whichever comes first. From there you withdraw it to your linked bank account, and the transfer can take up to 5 days to appear in your bank.
The payout process, step by step
- You make a sale. The buyer's payment is processed through Depop Payments (powered by Stripe). Depop's fees — payment processing of 3.3% + $0.45, and the 12% boosting fee if the listing was boosted — are deducted before the money reaches you. There is no selling fee for US sellers. The amount left is the "You Receive" figure in our fee calculator.
- The money sits as pending in your Depop Balance. You can see it in the app, but pending funds can't be withdrawn. Money from a sale isn't available until the item has been delivered.
- Your balance is released. Depop pays the money into your available Depop Balance 2 business days after tracking shows the item as delivered, or 10 business days after the sale date — whichever is sooner. This is one reason tracked shipping matters: delivery confirmation starts the faster clock. See Depop shipping rates for your shipping options.
- You withdraw to your bank. Go to My Depop → My account → Depop Balance → Withdraw. The money moves to your connected bank account and can take up to 5 days to show after you withdraw it. Withdrawals are free — Depop charges no withdrawal fee.
What you need before you can be paid
- A valid bank account connected to your Depop account (My Depop → My account → Depop Balance → Payment Settings).
- Identity verification — Depop/Stripe may ask you to verify your identity before withdrawals are enabled, and the details you give must exactly match the ones you signed up with.
- If you're under 18, a parent or guardian needs to verify their details on your behalf before you can sell and get paid — more on this in how old you have to be to sell on Depop.
Payout hasn't arrived? Work through this list
- Check which clock you're on. Count 2 business days from the delivery scan — or 10 business days from the sale if there's no delivery scan yet. Weekends and holidays don't count as business days.
- Check the money is in your Balance, not just pending. Pending means the release point hasn't been reached; you can't withdraw pending funds.
- Confirm your bank account is connected and verified. If you've passed the expected timeframe with nothing, Depop's own guidance is that you may need to verify your identity or update account details such as your connected bank account.
- Allow the bank transfer time. After you withdraw, the money can take up to 5 days to appear in your bank account — that's the bank/Stripe leg of the journey, not Depop holding your balance.
- Still stuck? Contact Depop support from the app with the sale details.
How much will actually arrive?
Your payout is the buyer's order total minus Depop's fees and minus your own shipping label cost if you paid for one. On a $50 sale with $5 buyer-paid shipping, that's $55 − $2.27 processing = $52.73 into your Depop Balance. To predict any sale in advance, use the Depop fee calculator; to see what's left after the cost of the item itself, use the profit calculator.
