Depop removed its 10% selling fee in the US — sellers keep the full sale price. But buyers pay a marketplace fee of up to 5% + $1, and that checkout total is what your listing competes against. See both sides of the zero-fee model.
Your Fees = $0; Buyer Marketplace Fee ≤ 5% × Price + $1; Your Net = Price − Item Cost − Shipping You CoverDepop's US fee model has no seller-side charge: no selling fee (removed July 2024), no processing fee on Depop Payments. The platform monetizes through the buyer-side marketplace fee of up to 5% + $1 on the item price. This calculator models both sides because the buyer's checkout total is the effective price of your listing.
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0% | US/UK/AU seller rate — the 10% selling fee was removed in the US in July 2024 |
| 5% + $1 | The maximum buyer-side marketplace fee, charged on the item price only |
| Buyer Total | Item price plus the maximum estimated buyer fee — what your listing effectively costs the buyer |
| Boosted Listings | Optional paid visibility with its own percentage — not modeled here |
Our calculations are based on established financial and scientific formulas. The following sources inform the default values and methodology used in this calculator:
Depop charged US sellers a 10% selling fee until July 2024, when it was removed. Today a US seller pays 0% commission and, on Depop Payments, no processing fee either — the listing price arrives in your account whole. UK and Australian sellers are likewise at 0%. Yet a meaningful share of fee guides and calculators still subtract the old 10%, understating your profit by $5 on a $50 sale and skewing every pricing decision built on that number.
What zero seller fees does not mean: zero cost. Your economics are still item cost, your own labour, and any shipping you volunteer to cover. What it changes is where the platform's revenue comes from — the buyer's checkout rather than your payout — and that shift moves the strategic question from "how much do I lose per sale" to "what will a buyer actually pay at checkout".
The tell for a stale calculator is easy to spot: it asks for a sale price and prints a fee of 10% with no other input. Depop's real seller-side math in the US is a single multiplication by zero — which is why this page spends its space on the buyer's side of the receipt instead, and why the profit readout here equals the sale price minus your own costs, with no platform line between them.
With the seller side at zero, Depop's fee lives on the buyer's receipt: a marketplace fee of up to 5% of the item price plus up to $1, charged at checkout on the item price only — shipping and taxes sit outside it. The exact amount varies and is shown to each buyer at checkout, which is why "up to" is doing real work in that sentence. For planning, the maximum is the number to use.
| Item price | Max buyer fee (5% + $1) | Max buyer checkout (before shipping/tax) |
|---|---|---|
| $20.00 | $2.00 | $22.00 |
| $50.00 | $3.50 | $53.50 |
| $100.00 | $6.00 | $106.00 |
The fee is on the item price only, so expensive-but-light items carry a smaller checkout premium than the same price with heavy shipping.
Why this belongs on a seller calculator at all: the buyer's total is what your price is really compared against. A $53.50 checkout for your $50 jacket is being weighed by the buyer against the same jacket's sticker price on an app where the fee is baked into the listing. If you price as if the fee did not exist, you are competing with one hand tied — and if you overcorrect by slashing the listing, you are paying for a fee the buyer can already see and accepts.
The calculator shows both sides of this trade in one screen: your payout at 100% of the sale price, and the estimated buyer total at the maximum fee. When an item sits unsold, the useful experiment is lowering the price by roughly the fee amount — the buyer's checkout barely moves while your listing's sticker price drops a full filter bracket.
Zero seller fees only matters relative to the alternatives, so here is one $50 sale — buyer covers shipping everywhere — run through the fee schedules of the five resale apps sellers actually cross-list on.
| Platform | Seller fee on $50 | Your payout |
|---|---|---|
| Depop | $0.00 | $50.00 |
| Vinted | $0.00 | $50.00 |
| Mercari | $5.00 (10% of order) | $45.00 |
| eBay (most categories) | $7.20 (13.6% + $0.40) | $42.80 |
| Poshmark | $10.00 (20%) | $40.00 |
Seller-side only, before shipping you might volunteer, item cost, and taxes. eBay shown without a Store subscription or promoted rate; Mercari's 10% includes the buyer-paid shipping in its base.
Read the table as a payout ranking and it is nearly a lie. The two zero-fee apps charge the buyer a marketplace or buyer-protection fee at checkout, which suppresses what those buyers will pay for the same item — the $50 sneaker may realistically sell for $45 where a fee shows up later. Poshmark's 20% is the largest cut but also buys the most engaged social selling surface; eBay's rate varies by category and collapses under a Store subscription at volume.
The honest comparison is expected profit: payout × probability of selling × days-it-will-take. This calculator gives you the first term for Depop with the buyer's checkout total alongside; the marketplace fee comparison page extends the same rate-card method to the platform-wide picture.
Vinted sellers keep 100% of the sale price — but buyers pay a Buyer Protection fee ($0.70 + 5% in the US, 3-8% in the UK), and that checkout total shapes what you can charge. Model your payout and the buyer's real cost side by side.

Depop charges sellers 0% — but its buyer-side marketplace fee (up to 5% + $1) inflates the checkout total your listing competes against. See what the same item keeps on the three marketplaces that do charge sellers a percentage.
