Does Depop charge seller fees in 2026?

No marketplace commission for US and UK sellers on new or updated listings. You still pay payment processing: 3.3% plus $0.45 per transaction in the US, and 2.9% plus £0.30 in the UK.

Why am I still being charged 10% on Depop?

Most likely the listing predates the 0% change and has not been edited. Make any small edit and save — the listing moves onto the current fee structure.

How much does Depop Boost cost?

Eight percent of the sale in the US and Australia, and 12% in the UK, charged when an item sells through the boost. It stacks on top of payment processing.

What does a $47 Depop sale cost in fees?

About $2.00 for a US seller with no boost — 3.3% of $47 plus $0.45. Effective rate roughly 4.3%, among the lowest of the major resale platforms.

Do buyers pay fees on Depop?

The buyer typically pays for shipping. Depop's seller fee structure for US and UK sellers does not add a separate buyer protection charge in the way some rivals do.

Is Depop cheaper than eBay?

On fees, usually yes: roughly 4–5% effective versus around 14% on eBay US in a standard category. The trade-off is audience — eBay reaches far more buyers, and a sale you do not make has a 0% fee anyway.

Depop Fee Calculator

Zero commission is real. Zero fees is not — and boosts can change the picture entirely.

Short answer

Depop has charged US and UK sellers 0% marketplace commission on new or updated listings since 2024. What remains is payment processing: 3.3% plus $0.45 per transaction for US sellers, charged on the item price plus whatever shipping the buyer pays. On a $47 order that is about $2.00, an effective rate near 4.3%. Sellers outside the US and UK still pay the older 10% commission, and using Boost adds 8% in the US and Australia or 12% in the UK on sales that come through it.

Zero commission, but not zero cost

The 0% headline is genuine — Depop removed the seller commission for US and UK sellers, and it applies to new or updated listings. What you still pay is payment processing through Depop Payments.

For US sellers that is 3.3% plus $0.45 per transaction, charged on the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. It is a small number, but it is not zero, and it is charged on every sale.

The legacy listing trap

The 0% rate applies to listings created or updated after the change. Older listings that have never been edited can still carry the previous 10% commission.

The fix is trivial and worth doing: make any small edit — a description tweak, a tag change, a price adjustment — and the listing moves onto the current fee structure. On a large catalogue this is one of the highest-value hours you can spend.

Boost changes the maths

Boost promotes a listing in exchange for a percentage of the sale when it sells through the boost: 8% in the US, 12% in the UK. It stacks on top of payment processing, so a boosted sale is no longer close to free.

Treat Boost exactly like any other advertising: it has to earn back its own cost in incremental sales, and a boosted sale that would have happened anyway is pure loss.

Formula

fees = (item price + shipping) × 3.3% + $0.45   (+ 8% boost on boosted sales)

What each term means

3.3% + $0.45: US payment processing through Depop Payments, charged on item price plus shipping
0%: marketplace commission for US and UK sellers on new or updated listings
8% / 12%: Boost fee on sales that come through a boosted listing — 8% US and Australia, 12% UK
10%: the commission still charged to sellers based outside the US and UK

Assumptions

US seller paying out in USD through Depop Payments.
The boost rate is applied as an 8% charge on the whole sale for modelling, which is how a boost fee works on a boosted sale.
Shipping is treated as buyer-paid and pass-through; if you subsidise it, enter the difference as a cost.

Common mistakes

Leaving legacy listings unedited

Listings created before the 0% change are not automatically moved onto the new structure. A one-character edit is enough — and it can save 10% of every future sale.

Forgetting processing is charged on shipping

The 3.3% applies to the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays, so the fee is slightly higher than an item-only estimate.

Assuming Boost is free promotion

It costs 8% of the sale in the US and 12% in the UK, on top of processing. On a $47 sale that is a larger fee than most platforms charge in total.

Applying US rates to a UK account

UK sellers pay 2.9% plus £0.30 for processing, not the US 3.3% plus $0.45, and the boost rate is 12% rather than 8%.

Assuming 0% applies everywhere

Sellers based outside the US and UK are still on the older 10% commission structure.
