Depop fee history 2022–2026
Profitvana Editorial Team · Updated November 9, 2026
Depop charged sellers a flat 10% for most of its life, on top of PayPal's processing fee and, from 2022, Depop Payments processing. Between March 2024 and July 2026 it removed the selling fee market by market (UK first, then the US, then Australia) and replaced it with a buyer-paid marketplace fee of up to 5% plus a small fixed amount. What sellers still pay is payment processing (3.3% + $0.45 in the US since January 2023) and, optionally, Boosted Listings, whose fee rose from 8% to 12% in the UK in December 2025 and in the US in March 2026.
Depop was owned by Etsy from June 2021 and by eBay from July 2026. Depop's own help-centre pages block archive and fetch tools, so several entries rest on Depop's newsroom and on dated reports from Value Added Resource and ChannelX, marked accordingly.

How this timeline is built
Each entry carries the figure before and after the change and a source that states it: the platform’s own announcement or help page, an archived copy of its fee page on the Wayback Machine, or a named trade publication. Anything we could not confirm that way is left out rather than estimated. The current schedule, verified against the live fee page, is on the Depop fee calculator; changes across all platforms are logged on fee changes. Corrections: tell us.
Frequently asked questions
Does Depop still take 10%?
Not from sellers in the UK (since March 2024), the US (since July 2024) or Australia (since July 2026). Sellers there pay processing only, plus the optional 12% (US/UK) or 8% (AU) Boost fee if a boosted item sells. The 10% selling fee still applies in other countries.
What do Depop buyers pay now?
A marketplace fee of up to 5% of the item price plus up to $1, £1 or A$1, added at checkout. It replaced the seller's 10% and is why a Depop price looks higher to the buyer than the amount the seller set.
