Depop Fee Calculator (2026 Rates)

How Depop fees work

Depop's fee structure is the simplest in resale — and the most frequently misreported, because it changed completely in 2024 and its ad fee changed again in March 2026. This Depop fee calculator uses the current model, verified against Depop's official help center and dated above. Here is the whole picture in three layers.

Layer one: the selling fee is zero

Since mid-2024, sellers in the UK, US, and Australia pay no Depop selling fee at all — no commission, no final value fee, no listing fee. If you're reading an older guide that quotes a 10% Depop fee, it's from before the change. (The 10% rate still exists, but only for sellers outside the UK/US/AUS.) Every result from this Depop fees calculator shows the zero-commission line explicitly, so you can see we're not just forgetting it.

Layer two: payment processing is the real fee

The one mandatory charge is payment processing through Depop Payments (Stripe): 3.3% + $0.45 for US sellers (2.9% + £0.30 in the UK, 2.6% + $0.30 AUD in Australia). The fee base is the item price plus shipping plus any applicable taxes — so charging $10 shipping adds about $0.33 to your fee. On a $30 sale with free shipping, processing costs you $1.44, and you keep $28.56. That is the complete fee picture for most US sales.

Layer three: Boost, the optional 12% ad fee

Boost promotes your listing in Depop search and category pages. You only pay when a Boosted listing sells through the placement — but the price went up: for new listings created on or after March 23, 2026, the Boost fee is 12% of the item price plus shipping (when you don't use a Depop shipping label), up from 8%. Toggle Boost in the calculator before you decide: on a $50 sale, Boost takes $6 on top of processing, which turns Depop from the cheapest platform into roughly eBay territory.

The eBay acquisition question

eBay completed its acquisition of Depop on July 30, 2026. Nothing about fees has changed since, and historically acquisitions of this kind do eventually touch the fee book — eBay has every incentive to unify or at least rationalize the two structures. We monitor Depop's official fee page weekly; the moment anything moves, the calculator and our changelog update within days. If you're building a Depop-dependent business, that's a risk worth pricing in long before it lands.

Worked example: a $35 sale, with and without Boost

Numbers make the choice concrete. On a $35 item with free shipping: processing is 3.3% + $0.45 of $35 ($1.61), so without Boost you keep $33.39. Turn Boost on and the extra 12% costs $4.20, dropping you to $29.19 — a 17% total take that is suddenly no longer the cheapest option on the comparison strip. The lesson: Boost earns its fee when it wins a sale you'd otherwise lose, not as an always-on default. Toggle it in the calculator above and watch the strip reorder itself — that reordering is the whole decision in one glance.

Depop fees vs other platforms

Without Boost, Depop is the cheapest major resale platform in the US: about 3.3% + $0.45 versus Mercari's flat 10%, Poshmark's 20%, and eBay's 13.6% + $0.40. On a $50 sale you keep $47.90 on Depop, $45 on Mercari, $40 on Poshmark, and $42.80 on eBay — before shipping costs, which often matter more than fees. With Boost on, Depop lands mid-pack. Run the same item through the all-platform comparator to see your exact ranking.
