July 2024: the 10% died, the 3.3% + 45¢ remained
Depop removed its signature 10% selling fee for US sellers in July 2024, collapsing the fee structure to a single line: payment processing at 3.3% of the sale price plus $0.45. On the default $45 sale that is $1.94 — total fee load 4.3%, against the 13-14% the same sale carried in 2023. The reverse-pricing field shows what that buys: to net $25 on a $12-cost item you need to list at just $39.20 on Depop, versus $45.05 on eBay or $46.25 on Poshmark. For the Gen-Z fashion audience Depop owns, that pricing headroom plus the channel’s culture-driven discovery is why it remains the first stop for streetwear and vintage despite the smaller buyer pool.
What the removal actually changed in your pricing
Before July 2024, Depop sellers routinely ran “Depop pricing” — roughly 11% above their eBay price — to wash out the commission. That premium is now dead weight: a listing priced at the old Depop premium is simply overpriced against every other channel, because the fee that justified it is gone. The discipline now is one price list across channels with per-channel fee overlays only where they still exist. The calculator’s reverse field enforces this: enter your one target profit and read the Depop-exact price — usually the lowest required price of any mainstream platform for the same net, which you can spend as margin or as undercut.
Boosted listings: the opt-in fee that still exists
One paid lever survived the fee cuts: Boosted Listings, an opt-in per-item promotion (around 8% of the sale price) that raises listing visibility. It behaves like eBay’s Promoted Listings — a marketing decision, not a tax — and the correct way to evaluate it is incremental: does the boost’s cost (8% of the sale, $3.60 on the default) buy enough velocity on a stale listing to beat relisting effort elsewhere? Enter it mentally as a cost bump: a boosted $45 sale nets $25.60 after the default cost structure instead of $29.20, and the boost pays only if it is the difference between selling and not. The calculator models the un-boosted case; add 8% to the fee column when you flip the toggle on a listing.
A worked example: the $12 vintage find
Sourced a vintage windbreaker at $12. You want $25 net. Reverse price on Depop: ($25 + $0.45 + $12) ÷ (1 − 0.033) = $38.78 — call it $38.99. Same target on eBay: $43.79 plus $0.40 → $44.19. On Poshmark: $46.25. You list on all three (cross-listing is free labor): it sells on Depop in nine days at $38.99, netting $25.14 after $1.74 processing. The comparison that matters: had you priced Depop at the old 10%-premium instinct ($43+), it would have been the most expensive listing on the platform and likely the slowest. The fee tables changed; the winners are sellers whose prices followed.
Depop in the 2026 channel mix
Post-cuts, Depop is the cheapest mainstream venue for fashion in the $20-80 band — cheaper than Grailed (~12.5% + 49¢), cheaper than eBay (~13.6%), vastly cheaper than Poshmark (20%) — with the trade that its buyer base is younger, trend-driven and expects seller engagement (follows, restyles, drops). It rewards inventory that photographs well and punishes commodity listings. In a multi-channel stack it earns the fashion/vintage lane: list there first, feed eBay and Mercari as overflow, and let the 4.3% fee load price your aggressiveness. The calculators on this site exist so that lane assignment is ten seconds of arithmetic per item — which is what professional reselling is, more than anything else.
