How Much Does Depop Take From a Sale?
If you're a US seller, the honest answer surprises most people: Depop takes no selling fee at all. What actually comes out of your sale is the payment processing fee — and, if you boost, the boosting fee. Here's the exact amount at every price point.
Quick answer: On a typical $50 sale, Depop takes $2.10 in processing (3.3% + $0.45) and you keep $47.90. If the buyer also paid $5 shipping, Depop takes $2.27 and you receive $52.73. Boosted listings pay an extra 12% of the item price. There is no 10% cut — that fee is gone for US sellers.

What Depop takes, by sale price
These figures are for US sellers, item price only (no shipping charged, no tax). Because the processing fee combines 3.3% with a fixed $0.45, Depop's slice shrinks as the price grows:
| You sell for | Depop takes | You keep | Depop's take as % | If boosted, Depop takes | You keep (boosted) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $0.78 | $9.22 | 7.8% | $1.98 | $8.02 |
| $20 | $1.11 | $18.89 | 5.6% | $3.51 | $16.49 |
| $30 | $1.44 | $28.56 | 4.8% | $5.04 | $24.96 |
| $50 | $2.10 | $47.90 | 4.2% | $8.10 | $41.90 |
| $75 | $2.93 | $72.07 | 3.9% | $11.93 | $63.07 |
| $100 | $3.75 | $96.25 | 3.8% | $15.75 | $84.25 |
Selling fee in every row: $0. "Depop takes" = payment processing only; "if boosted" adds the 12% boosting fee.
Worked examples with shipping
Most sales include shipping, and Depop calculates processing on the whole order total — item + shipping + tax. That's why the fee on a shipped sale is a little higher than the table above:
$50 item + $5 shipping (buyer pays shipping)
- Order total: $50 + $5 = $55
- Selling fee: $0 (0% for US sellers)
- Processing: 3.3% × $55 + $0.45 = $2.27
- You receive: $52.73 — or $46.73 if boosted (boosting fee $6.00)
$100 item + $10 shipping
- Order total: $110
- Processing: 3.3% × $110 + $0.45 = $4.08
- You receive: $105.92 — or $93.92 if boosted (boosting fee $12.00)
$20 item + $5 shipping
- Order total: $25
- Processing: 3.3% × $25 + $0.45 = $1.28
- You receive: $23.72 — or $21.32 if boosted (boosting fee $2.40)

So what percentage does Depop take?
Sellers often ask for one percentage, but Depop doesn't take a flat cut from US sellers anymore. The real picture:
- Selling fee: 0% — there is no percentage commission. (This is also why the answer to "does Depop take a cut?" is "not the cut you're thinking of.")
- Processing: 3.3% + $0.45 — the fixed part makes the effective rate higher on small sales (7.8% at $10) and lower on big ones (3.8% at $100).
- Boosting: a flat 12% of the item price, but only on boosted listings that sell. On a boosted $50 sale, total fees reach $8.10 of a $50 item price — boosting, not processing, is the big cost when you use it.
One more amount to know about: your buyer pays a marketplace fee of up to 5% + up to $1 at checkout. It's the buyer's money, not yours — but it does raise the total price buyers see, which matters when you set your price.

Why you keep hearing "Depop takes 10%"
Depop really did take a 10% selling fee — in the past, from everyone. After Depop removed it for US, UK and Australian sellers (and introduced the buyer-side marketplace fee in the US on 18 July 2024), a large share of blog posts, videos and even the most popular fee calculator on the web kept using the old numbers. Some still deduct 10% in their FAQ while their own calculator says 0%. Always check the fee schedule date — on this site, every rate is verified against Depop's official Help Centre.

How much does Depop take from a $50 sale?
If the buyer also pays $5 shipping, Depop takes $2.27 (the 3.3% + $0.45 processing fee on the $55 order total) and you receive $52.73. With no shipping charged, Depop takes $2.10 and you keep $47.90. There is no selling fee for US sellers. If the listing was boosted, add a $6.00 boosting fee (12% of $50).
What percentage does Depop take?
There is no single percentage, because the US selling fee is 0% and the processing fee mixes a percentage (3.3%) with a fixed $0.45 charge. On item price alone, processing equals about 7.8% of a $10 sale, 4.2% of a $50 sale and 3.8% of a $100 sale. Boosting adds a flat 12% of the item price when it applies.
Does Depop take a cut of shipping?
There is no selling-fee cut for US sellers, but the payment processing fee is calculated on the item price plus shipping plus tax, so charging more for shipping does slightly increase your processing fee. Outside the US, UK and Australia, the 10% selling fee can also include shipping when no Depop label is used.
Why do people say Depop takes 10%?
Depop used to charge every seller a 10% selling fee, and many websites and calculators were never updated after Depop removed it for US, UK and Australian sellers. The 10% fee now applies only to sellers based outside those regions.
Does the buyer's marketplace fee come out of my payout?
No. The marketplace fee (up to 5% of the item price plus up to $1) is charged to the buyer at checkout, on top of your price. It does not reduce what you receive from a sale.
