No, You Don't Have to Pay Depop Fees - Here's How

Depop is a leading online marketplace for buying and selling fashion. It's an excellent place for young entrepreneurs, as it doesn't require any fees to join, and there are no listing or final value fees.

However, there is one fee that can be pretty costly for sellers - the Depop fees! These are commissions that Depop takes from every sale made through the BUY button. It is automatically charged on the total sale amount, including shipping costs, and is deducted through your Depop Payments account or PayPal.

These fees can add up to a significant amount, especially for larger transactions. DoNotPay can help you get these fees waived. We will guide you through the process of getting your fees waived, so you'll be able to keep more money in your pocket.

How Much Does Depop Charge per Transaction?

Depop charges a 10% commission for every sale made through the BUY button. It is automatically charged on the total sale amount, including the shipping costs.

There is also a standard transaction fee of about 2.9% plus £/€0.30 across Depop Payments and PayPal, but it varies with your location and PayPal account setup. For instance, if you are in the U.S, the standard PayPal fee is 3.49% + $0.49. Depop will also charge an additional 1.29% seller service fee for UK-EU transactions.

Depop Fees Explained

Like other online marketplaces like eBay, Shopify, and Etsy, Depop charges a fee to keep its marketplace running. The 10% deduction fee also helps Depop release new features, pay their employees, and provide Buyer and Seller Protection. Depop fees are automatic and will appear as a separate entry on your PayPal or Depop Payments after up to 21 days.

How to Avoid/Appeal Depop Fees

Unfortunately, there is no way you can avoid Depop fees. Depop deducts a 10% charge automatically for all the sales you make. While you can ask your buyer to pay you outside the Depop platform, it's not a safe way in case the customer decides not to pay.

However, if your customer asks for a refund, Depop will refund you for the Depop fee. Fee refunds through Depop Payments are automatically processed. If you process the refund through PayPal, you need to reach out to the support team with screenshots of your refund and a confirmation of your @usernames.

Does Depop Have Hidden Fees?

Depop does not have any hidden fees. The company only charges a flat rate of 10% for the total sale and standard PayPal fees that vary depending on your location and PayPal account setup. Besides, they also have a Seller Service Fee that is only charged on UK-EU transactions.

Since all these fees are clearly stated on the website, there's no need to worry about hidden charges. Before you sign up for a Depop account, carefully read and understand their terms of service, especially the associated costs, to avoid any disputes in the future.

How to Appeal Depop Fees by Yourself

Since there's no way you can avoid Depop fees, your best bet is to appeal for the fee waiver. If you feel that the Depop fees are too high for your transaction, you can write an appeal to the company. Follow these steps:

1. Contact Depop customer support online and state your reasons for the appeal
2. Include your full name, Depop username, address, and contact number
3. Mention the order number of the transaction you are appealing for
4. Attach copies of receipts or any other relevant documentation
5. Wait for a response from the support team. They will review your case and get back to you within seven working days.

Ensure you have a strong case for an appeal. For example, you can raise your concern if the buyer asks for a refund outside Depop and charges you the fee. If your case is convincing, the support team might waive the fee for you.
