Depop Fee Calculator

US Depop sellers are not charged a Depop selling fee. What you pay, according to the official Help Centre article we retrieved on 11 November 2026, is a payment-processing fee of 3.3% + $0.45 on the item price, shipping and any applicable taxes when you use Depop Payments (via Stripe). Boosted listings add a 12% boosting fee on the item sale price, excluding taxes, and on shipping if you did not use a Depop Shipping label. The Help article notes that this boosting rule applies to new listings from 23 March 2026. This calculator keeps those lines separate so a 'zero commission' headline does not hide processing or Boost. OpenFeeCalculator is not affiliated with Depop.

Zero selling fee is not the same as zero cost

The official article states that no Depop selling fees will be charged to sellers based in the UK, US, or Australia. That is a real advantage against a 13.6% eBay sale or a 20% Poshmark sale. It is not a free transaction. Depop Payments still takes 3.3% plus $0.45 on the full intake, including postage and tax. A $40 item with $8 shipping and $3 tax produces a $51 payment and a $2.13 processing fee. If you also Boost the listing and used a Depop label, another 12% of the $40 item price ($4.80) is added. The marketing page we fetched the same day, 'Sell Clothes Online for Free - 0% Selling Fees', even footnotes that payment processing fees and boosting fees still apply.

selling fee (US) = $0
processing = 3.3% × (item + shipping + tax) + $0.45
Boost (new listings from 23 March 2026) = 12% × item price, plus shipping if you did not use a Depop Shipping label
payout = total charged − tax remitted − processing − Boost
profit = payout − cost of goods − your shipping cost

A note on how we obtained the rates

A direct request to the Depop Help Centre URL from this build environment returned HTTP 403. The article body was retrieved the same day with a secondary official fetch of https://depophelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360001791127-Seller-fees-and-charges, and that is the source this JSON and this page cite. If Depop changes the article, we will re-fetch it and update the changelog rather than keep a remembered rate.

Sellers outside the UK, US and Australia are quoted a 10% selling fee on the same official page, plus PayPal processing. This first-release calculator is for US sellers and does not switch into that 10% table. Boosting fees for sellers outside the UK and US are listed at 8% on the same article; again, that is outside the US model used here.

US selling fee, processing, and Boost

The Depop seller-fees article we read on 11 November 2026 describes no selling commission for US sellers and a processing fee of 3.3% + $0.45. That is a different shape from eBay's final value fee or Poshmark's 20%. Boost is a separate, optional advertising product at 12% from 23 March 2026, a date the article itself states. Enter Boost only when you actually boosted the item and it sold under that program. Adding 12% to every casual sale because 'people boost on Depop' will invent a cost the official page does not automatically charge.

How to compare Depop with a selling-fee platform

A US Depop sale can look inexpensive next to a 13.6% or 20% selling fee, until you add processing and, if you use it, Boost, and until you count postage the same way on both sides. The free comparison grid does not include Depop in phase 1; use this calculator for the Depop column and the other platform's calculator or the three-way grid for eBay, Poshmark and Mercari. We retrieved the Depop article after some automated requests to the Zendesk host were blocked, and we documented that path on this page rather than citing a third-party summary. If Depop publishes a US selling fee later, it will appear in the changelog with a new check date, not as a silent edit.

How to use this calculator

1. Enter the item, shipping and tax the buyer paid. Processing uses all three. Leaving tax out understates the 3.3% + $0.45 line.
2. Tick Boost only when the listing is Boosted. The 12% fee is optional. New listings from 23 March 2026 follow the official US/UK Boost wording used here.
3. Say whether you used a Depop label. If you used one, Boost is calculated on the item price only. If you did not, shipping is included in the Boost base.
4. Compare with eBay or Poshmark before you assume 'free' is cheapest. Zero selling fee plus processing can still lose to another platform once postage and your costs are honest.
