Depop fees UK sellers pay changed in 2024. The selling fee went, but there are still payment processing costs, and buyers pay a fee of their own. Here is what applies, with a worked example.
What UK sellers pay
- Selling fee: none. Depop removed its 10% selling fee for UK sellers, for new listings from 20 March 2024.
- Payment processing fee: reported on Depop’s fees page as 2.9% plus £0.30, charged on the item price plus shipping and any taxes. Check your own sale for the exact figure.
- Optional Boosted Listings: an extra fee only on sales that come from a boost. Check Depop’s current rate before using it.
What buyers pay
From 15 April 2024 Depop charges UK buyers a marketplace fee of up to 5% of the item price plus up to £1, not counting tax and postage. You do not pay it, but it adds to what your buyer sees, so it can affect how you price.
Worked example
You sell an item for £25 and the buyer pays £3 shipping, so the total is £28:
- Payment processing: 2.9% of £28 plus £0.30 = about £1.11
- Selling fee: £0
- You receive about £26.89, before what you paid for the item and any packaging.
Depop sales and HMRC
Platforms must report sellers to HMRC once you pass 30 sales of goods or about £1,700 in a year. Read whether you need to tell HMRC about your sales.
