# Depop fees UK: 2.9% + 30p and no selling fee (2026) Depop charges UK sellers no selling fee. You pay 2.9% plus 30p payment processing, and 12% if a boosted listing sells. Fee refunds and worked examples inside. Depop takes no selling fee from UK sellers. On a normal sale you pay one charge: a payment processing fee of 2.9% plus 30p. If you boost a listing and it sells through the boost, you also pay a 12% boosting fee. Those figures come from Depop's [seller fees and charges page](https://depophelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360001791127-Seller-fees-and-charges), as of October 2026. The rest of this guide explains what each fee is charged on, when you get fees back, and what the buyer pays. For your own numbers, use the [Depop fee calculator](/depop-fee-calculator). ## The selling fee: zero for UK sellers Depop [removed its 10% selling fee for UK sellers](https://news.depop.com/company-news/evolving-our-fee-structure-with-zero-selling-fees-on-depop) for listings created from 20 March 2024. Depop's fees page today lists no selling fee for sellers based in the UK, the US or Australia. Two conditions apply: - **You must be based in the UK and sell in GBP.** Depop's announcement limits zero selling fees to UK sellers and GBP sales. - **Sellers elsewhere still pay 10%.** Depop charges a 10% selling fee on all sales to sellers outside the UK, US and Australia, on the item price and on the shipping cost if they do not use a Depop shipping label. ## The payment processing fee: 2.9% plus 30p This is the fee every UK seller pays. Depop's fees page lists it as **2.9% + £0.30** for Depop Payments, which runs through Stripe. Depop charges it on the item price **plus shipping plus any taxes**. So postage counts. If the buyer pays £40 for the item and £4 for postage, the 2.9% applies to £44. Depop deducts all fees before it pays the sale money to your bank account, so your payout already has them taken off. ## The boosting fee: 12% when a boosted listing sells Boosting is Depop's paid promotion. A boosted listing appears in extra places in the app and on the website, with a "Boosted" label. Depop's [Boosted Listings policy](https://depophelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/9253129255569-Boosted-Listings-Policy) sets out how the fee works. **The rate.** UK sellers pay 12% on listings created from 23 March 2026. This applies whether you boost one listing or your whole shop. **What it is charged on.** The item price, excluding taxes. Shipping counts too, but only if you arrange your own postage. Depop does not charge the boosting fee on Depop Shipping labels. **When you pay it.** Only when a boosted listing sells, and only if the buyer saw the boosted version. Depop counts a sale as boosted if the buyer viewed the boosted listing and bought the item within 28 days. A view means the buyer saw the boosted tile. They do not need to click it. **Stopping a boost does not cancel the fee.** If a buyer saw your listing while it was boosted and buys within 28 days, you pay the boosting fee even if you turned the boost off before the sale. **Who can boost.** Any seller, once you activate your Depop Balance or 28 days after you create your account, whichever comes first. Boosting is optional. If you never boost, you never pay it. ## Worked examples Take a £40 item with £4 postage that you send with your own postage, so the buyer pays £44. **Without a boost.** Processing is 2.9% of £44, which is £1.28, plus 30p. That is £1.58 in fees, and Depop pays you £42.42. Your own postage cost comes out of that. **With a boost that sells.** Processing is still £1.58. The boosting fee is 12% of £44, which is £5.28. Total fees are £6.86, and Depop pays you £37.14. **With a boost and a Depop Shipping label.** The boosting fee excludes the label, so it is 12% of the £40 item price, which is £4.80. The [Depop fee calculator](/depop-fee-calculator) and the [profit calculator](/profit-calculator) take your cost price and postage into account. ## What happens to Depop fees on a refund You get them back. Depop's fees page says that if a sale is refunded, all fees are reversed: the payment processing fee, the boosting fee and any selling fee. For sales through Depop Payments, the reversal is automatic. You do not need to raise a ticket. ## What the buyer pays The buyer pays a separate **Marketplace fee** on top of your price. Depop's [Marketplace fee page](https://depophelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/21752555753361-What-is-the-Marketplace-fee) says it is up to 5% of the item price plus a fixed amount of up to £1, excluding taxes and shipping. Depop shows the exact amount at checkout. This fee does not come out of your money. It does raise the total the buyer sees, so a buyer comparing your item with the same item on another app compares their total, not your price. Depop refunds the Marketplace fee to the buyer in full if the item is refunded. ## How Depop compares with eBay and Vinted On fees alone, a UK private seller pays the least on Vinted, which charges sellers nothing. eBay charges UK private sellers no selling fee on most categories. Depop's 2.9% plus 30p is small, but it is a charge on every sale. Fees are only part of the decision. Each app has a different buyer, and the right one depends on what you sell.
