What is known about the buyer-side fee
Depop’s buyer-facing coverage and any fee shown to the buyer at checkout sit on the buyer’s side. Feebrief’s Depop record carries no dollar or percent amount for it (Not publicly available), and it is not a seller deduction in that record. Depop’s own help center is the place to confirm current buyer terms. Boost, by contrast, is a seller-chosen charge: see Depop Boost.
Worked seller example
A $40 item with $5 shipping and no tax. Processing: 3.3% × $45 + $0.45 = $1.935, about $1.94 [verify]. Selling fee 0%, no Boost.
