Circular fashion is in, Depop’s selling fees are out

Depop, the hub of pre-loved, is wiping its 10% selling fee for users based in the UK. This means that sellers listing items on the platform will receive more money in their pocket from 20 March onwards.

This change will be communicated to UK users this week as part of a wider update to Depop’s fee structure.

Another change includes the introduction of a small marketplace fee for buyers in the UK from 15 April 2024. This additional charge will be used to support investment in Depop Protection, customer support, platform improvements and growing the community.

Kruti Patel Goyal, CEO of Depop, said: "Our mission is to make fashion circular - we want to encourage as many people as possible to choose secondhand instead of new. For years, the Depop community has been championing preloved and vintage fashion and pioneering change in the fashion industry.

"With more and more people now looking at resale as an alternative to retail, we want to amplify the impact of our growing community by continually finding ways to make it easier to participate in the circular economy.”

"This change will give sellers more cash in their pocket from each sale, empowering our existing community - as well as those new to resale - to list more, sell more and earn more while contributing to a more circular fashion system. More listings means more choice for UK buyers at a greater range of price points; enabling them to find the items they love, on budget."
