How much does Depop take from a sale?

Depop takes a payment processing fee on every sale. Outside the UK and US it also charges a selling fee, and it charges a boost fee when a sale comes from a boosted listing. In the US that means 3.3% + $0.45 of the sale amount and no selling fee. In the UK it is 2.9% + £0.30 and no selling fee.

The fixed part makes small sales cost more in percentage terms. On a $40 sale in the US, Depop takes $1.77, which is 4.4%. On a $100 sale it takes $3.75, or 3.75%.

How Depop profit is calculated

Processing fees are charged on the sale amount, which is the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays. A selling fee or boost fee is charged on the item price, plus the buyer-paid shipping if you ship without a Depop label. Since October 28, 2026, new US listings can no longer use independent shipping, so this mostly applies to older listings and to other countries. For label costs, see the Depop shipping cost calculator.

Depop profit formulas

Fees = item price × (selling % + boost %) + sale amount × processing % + fixed fee

Profit = sale amount − fees − item cost − shipping you pay

Margin = profit ÷ sale amount

With your own shipping label, add the buyer-paid shipping to the item price in the selling and boost part. Fees differ by country and change over time, so check the fee page for your region.

Depop fee examples

Example 1: US sale with default fees

Item $35 plus $5 shipping, cost $10, you pay $5 shipping.

  • Sale amount $40.00
  • Fees $1.77
  • Profit $23.23
  • Margin 58.1%
  • Break-even sale amount $15.98
  • Sale amount for a 40% margin $27.25

With no selling fee, processing is the only cost, and Depop takes 4.4% of the sale.

Example 2: with a 10% selling fee

The same sale outside the UK and US, where a 10% selling fee applies.

  • Fees $5.27
  • Profit $19.73
  • Margin 49.3%

A selling fee on the $35 item price adds $3.50 of cost.

Example 3: a boosted sale

The same US sale, but the buyer found it through a boosted listing.

  • Boost fee (12% of $35) $4.20
  • Fees $5.97
  • Profit $19.03
  • Margin 47.6%

The boost costs $4.20 here, so the margin falls by 10.5 points.

Example 4: a UK sale in pounds

Item £30 plus £4 shipping, cost £8, you pay £4 shipping, with the UK rate of 2.9% + £0.30.

  • Sale amount £34.00
  • Fees £1.29
  • Profit £20.71
  • Margin 60.9%

Depop takes 3.8% of this sale.

What does boosted mean on Depop and what does it cost?

A boosted listing is one the seller promotes. It shows up with a boosted tag in an extra placement in search and on the Suggested for you pages, as well as in the normal results. Boosting unlocks 28 days after you join.

The fee is 12% in the US and UK and 8% elsewhere, on top of the processing fee and any selling fee. You only pay it when a buyer interacts with your boosted listing and buys within 28 days. If the buyer finds the item without going through a boosted tile, no boost fee applies. You can stop boosting at any time, but a buyer who already saw the boosted listing can still trigger the fee for 28 days. The fee is charged on the item price, plus shipping if you ship without a Depop label.

Is boosting on Depop worth it?

It depends on your margin. The boost fee comes straight out of profit, so it hurts thin margins most. A $20 item with $4 shipping that cost $12 and $4 to ship earns $6.76 without a boost. With a boost it earns $4.36, so the boost takes more than a third of the profit. The $35 item in Example 3 loses about 18% of its profit.

Switch on the boosted sale option in the advanced options and check what you still keep. If the margin drops below what you need, raise the price before you boost, or skip the boost.

Depop payments: payouts, PayPal and when you get paid

In the US and UK, Depop processes payments through Depop Payments, so the processing fee above comes out of each sale before the money reaches you. Sellers outside the UK, US and Australia pay PayPal’s own processing fee, which varies by location and account.

Proceeds first go into your Depop Balance. According to Depop’s US payout guide, the funds are released 2 business days after the item shows as delivered, or 10 business days after the sale, whichever comes first. If a buyer raises an issue, the funds stay on hold until it is resolved. You can withdraw your available balance to your bank account at any time, and it can take up to 5 days to arrive.
