How Depop fees work
UK sellers pay no Depop selling fee. Every sale pays a payment processing fee of 2.9% + £0.30, worked out on the item price plus the postage the buyer pays.
Boosted listings cost 12% when a boosted item sells. Switch it on under Boosted listing. The calculator works Boost out on the item price; Depop also charges it on the postage when you arrange the shipping yourself, which it doesn’t add.
A worked example
An item bought for £45.00 and sold for £85.00, with £3.99 postage charged to the buyer. The label cost £3.49 and the packaging £0.50.
