Depop Fee Calculator

Depop fees for US sellers in 2026

Since July 15, 2024 Depop has charged no selling fee to sellers based in the US. What you pay when an item sells is Depop Payments’ processing fee of 3.3% + $0.45, charged on everything the buyer pays for the item, the shipping and the sales tax, and a 12% boosting fee when the sale came from a Boosted Listing.

How you ship changes your payout

Depop has no price tiers, so no price is awkward to list at; shipping is what moves your payout. Here is a $40.00 item with an $8.00 label and 6% sales tax, shipped five ways:

Free shipping costs you $7.72 on this sale: the whole label, less the processing you would have paid on buyer-paid shipping and its tax. Discounts sit in between: every dollar off is a dollar out of your payout. With your own label you keep the buyer’s shipping but buy postage yourself, and a boosted sale pays the boosting fee on that shipping too.

Worked example: a $40.00 vintage tee

You sell a vintage band tee that cost you $12.00 for $40.00. The buyer pays $8.00 for a Depop Shipping label (an illustration: Depop prices the label from the parcel size you pick) and 6% sales tax, $2.88. These are the numbers the calculator above starts with:

There is no selling fee. Processing is $2.13: 3.3% of the $50.88 the buyer paid for the tee, the shipping and the tax, plus $0.45. The $8.00 of shipping pays for the label, so Depop pays $37.87 into your Depop Balance. After the $12.00 the tee cost you, your profit is $25.87: a 53.9% margin on the $48.00 of item and shipping. If the buyer found it through a Boosted Listing, the 12% boosting fee adds $4.80 and your payout falls to $33.07.

What Depop’s fees are charged on

• The whole payment, tax included. Processing applies to the item price, the shipping and the sales tax Depop collects for the buyer’s state, even though the tax never reaches you.
• Boosted sales only. The boosting fee applies when the buyer saw the boosted listing, even without clicking it, and bought within 28 days, including after you stop boosting.
• Depop Shipping labels. The label is deducted from your sale and is never part of the boosting fee. With free shipping you are charged for the entire label.
• Bundles. Processing is charged once per bundle transaction, not per item.
• Refunds. If a sale is refunded, the processing and boosting fees are reversed automatically.
• Dollars only. Zero selling fees apply to US-based sellers and USD sales.

What the buyer pays

On top of your price and shipping, a US buyer pays sales tax and Depop’s Marketplace fee: up to 5% of the item price plus up to $1.00, shown exactly at checkout. For the tee that is at most $3.00, so the buyer pays up to $51.00 before tax. None of it is taken from your payout, but it is part of the price a buyer weighs up.

How to pay less in Depop fees

• Let the buyer pay for the label. On the $40.00 tee it leaves you $37.87 instead of $30.15 with free shipping.
• Pick the right parcel size. The label price comes from the size in your listing, and carriers can charge you extra if the parcel is heavier than the label allows.
• Boost what needs it. A boosted sale costs 12% more, so boost slow sellers, not items that would sell anyway.
• Bundle. A bundle pays the $0.45 processing charge once instead of once per item.
• Price for offers. Fees follow the final price, so price with room to accept an offer.

Depop fee changes

• March 23, 2026: the Boosted Listings Policy set the boosting fee at 12% for UK and US sellers, on listings created from this date (Depop’s fee table footnote). Australian sellers pay 8%, and a listing boosted before this date may still be charged the previous 8% too — check your receipt.
• July 18, 2024: the Marketplace fee for US buyers began, up to 5% of the item price plus up to $1.00.
• July 15, 2024: Depop removed the 10% selling fee for US sellers on all new listings; the payment processing fee stayed.
