Understanding Depop US Fees & Selling Costs
When selling on Depop US, you’ll encounter two main types of fees: payment processing fees (applied to every sale) and optional boosting fees (for promoted listings). Shipping costs also impact your total earnings. Here’s a detailed breakdown to help you calculate your profits accurately.
1. Depop Payment Processing Fees
All sales through Depop Payments (processed via Stripe) include this mandatory fee:
| Fee Type | Rate | Applied To |
|---|---|---|
| Depop Payments | 3.3% + $0.45 | Item price + shipping + taxes |
Example: For a $50 item with $6.50 shipping, the fee would be ($56.50 × 3.3%) + $0.45 = $2.31.

2. Boosted Listings Fee (Optional)
Promoting your listing increases visibility but adds an extra cost. Here’s how the 8% fee is calculated:
| Fee Type | Rate | Applied To | When Charged |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boosted Listings | 8% | Item sale price + Shipping (if self-arranged) (Excludes Depop Shipping & taxes) | Only when item sells via Boost |

3. Depop Shipping Options
US sellers have two shipping methods, with Depop Shipping being the recommended option for tracked deliveries
Option A: Depop Shipping (USPS)
Depop provides pre-paid, tracked shipping labels via USPS for mainland USA deliveries. When you make a sale, you’ll receive a QR code for easy drop-off at participating locations. The buyer pays the shipping cost upfront (see pricing table below), and you don’t need to worry about calculating rates.
Option B: Self-Arranged Shipping
If you choose to arrange your own shipping, you’ll need to purchase tracked shipping through a third-party carrier and enter the shipping price in your listing. Unlike with Boosted Listings, Depop doesn’t charge fees on self-arranged shipping amounts. However, you’re responsible for ensuring the package has tracking and reaches the buyer.
Depop Shipping Cost Breakdown
| Size & Weight | Price | Example Items |
|---|---|---|
| XX-Small (<4oz) | $4.99 | Jewelry, small accessories |
| X-Small (<8oz) | $5.69 | Swimwear, small purses |
| Small (<12oz) | $6.39 | T-shirts, pants |
| Medium (<16oz) | $7.99 | Jeans, lightweight sweaters |
| Large (<2lb) | $11.69 | Hoodies, sneakers |
