Depop Fees UK 2026 Calculator
Quick answer · Depop UK 2026
Most UK Depop sellers no longer pay the old 10% selling fee. You mainly pay payment processing around 2.9% + £0.30 on item + shipping. Boosts are optional. Returns and underpriced postage still decide profit.
Does Depop still take 10% in the UK?
No for most sellers. Outdated blogs and screenshots keep the myth alive. Open Depop’s live seller terms in the app, then model processing — not 10% — in the calculator. If your account still shows a selling commission, use ads % or extra cost to approximate until you confirm the live rate.
What Depop charges (typical UK stack)
Confirm live Depop terms — programmes change.
| Fee | UK estimate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Selling fee | £0 for many sellers | Old 10% removed for most |
| Payment processing | ~2.9% + £0.30 | Usually on item + shipping |
| Boosts / ads | When they convert | Put converting boost spend in ads % |
| Postage | Your label cost | Charging less than you spend is a self-inflicted fee |
Worked example: £38 fashion sale
Item £38, postage £3.50 charged, cost £12, postage cost £2.50. Processing on ~£41.50 is about £1.50. With clean postage and no boosts you keep around £30 before returns. At a 12% fashion return rate expected take-home drops — which is why “Depop is free” fails for wardrobe flips.
Depop vs Vinted fees
Private Vinted often charges £0 seller platform fee; Depop charges processing. Audience differs. Run both with the same return rate — see Depop vs Vinted UK and the Vinted fee calculator.
Boosts and “free” fees
A boost that converts is an ads cost. Leave ads at 0% only if you never promote. Otherwise you are lying to yourself in the spreadsheet.
