The widest fee gap in resale
For a US seller, Depop charges no selling fee at all — only payment processing of 3.3% + $0.45 on the total including shipping. Poshmark takes a flat $2.95 on sales of $15 and under and 20% on everything above. On a $100 sale that is $3.75 against $20.00; on a $12 item, $0.85 against $2.95. No other pair of mainstream resale apps is this far apart on price.
Depop's advantage holds only for sellers in the US, UK and Australia. Sellers elsewhere still pay Depop's 10% commission plus PayPal processing, which brings the two much closer.
| Sale | Depop (US) | Poshmark | Poshmark costs more by |
|---|---|---|---|
| $12 | $0.85 | $2.95 | $2.10 |
| $50 | $2.10 | $10.00 | $7.90 |
| $100 | $3.75 | $20.00 | $16.25 |
What Poshmark's 20% includes
Prepaid, buyer-funded shipping labels on every order, no payment-processing line, no listing fees, and a social closet model that drives a large share of sales through shares and Posh Parties. Poshmark's buyers skew toward everyday and premium fashion across all ages; Depop's skew younger and toward vintage, streetwear and Y2K. Items that sell slowly on Depop can move quickly on Poshmark, and the 20% is the price of that audience.
The fee Depop sellers forget
Boosted Listings. For listings created from 23 March 2026, a boost costs 12% of the item price for US and UK sellers if the item sells through the boost, on top of processing. A boosted $100 sale on Depop costs $15.75 — still below Poshmark's $20, but no longer in a different league. Boost selectively; un-boosted, Depop is the cheapest place to sell clothing in the US by a wide margin.
