Does Depop Charge a Listing Fee? No — Listing Is Free for US Sellers
No — Depop does not charge a listing fee. Listing is free for US sellers: $0 to post an item, whether or not it ever sells. What US sellers pay instead arrives only at sale — payment processing of 3.3% + $0.45 on the item price plus shipping plus applicable taxes, with the US selling fee at 0% — plus an optional 12% Boost fee that exists only if you switch it on. This page gives the yes/no, then separates the fee types so the listing question stays answered.

Quick answer: No — Depop has no listing fee
Depop does not charge a listing fee. Listing is free for US sellers — $0 per item at the moment you post, and nothing later if the item never sells. The listing side of the question ends there; the fee lines a US seller actually meets are these:
- Listing fee: $0 — free to list, no per-item upload charge, no published listing fee (fees.json, last updated 2026-10-26).
- Selling fee (US): 0% — no commission line on a basic sale.
- Payment processing: 3.3% + $0.45 per processed sale, on the item price plus shipping plus applicable taxes.
- Boost: optional, 12%, charged only on sales attributed to a listing you chose to Boost — not a listing fee. See Depop Boost fee explained.

What a listing fee is (and why Depop doesn't charge one)
A listing fee — some marketplaces call theirs an insertion fee — is a per-item charge for the act of uploading: money owed at posting, regardless of whether the item ever sells. Depop has none. No listing fee appears anywhere in the fee data Feebrief tracks (fees.json, last updated 2026-10-26), and Depop's help center confirms listing is free. Pages that say "Depop charges fees" generally mean payment processing or Boost — two different charges at sale time, covered next. No listing cap or item limit is published in the data we track, so none is claimed here.

Source of record: Depop Help — Seller fees and charges, compiled in Feebrief's fees.json (last updated 2026-10-26) and checked 2026-11-01. United States, USD. Barring changes Depop publishes after that date, payment processing is the only fee line on a basic US sale in the data we track — Boost exists only if you switch it on.
What US sellers pay instead
With listing free and the selling fee at 0%, two fee lines are left to know, and only one of them touches a basic sale:
- Payment processing: 3.3% + $0.45 per processed sale, on the item price plus shipping plus applicable taxes.
- Selling fee: 0% — listed here because fee roundups generally include it; in current US data it is zero.
Worked example — a $25 item with $5 shipping and no applicable taxes: the processing base is $25 + $5 = $30.00, so the fee is 3.3% × $30.00 = $0.99, plus $0.45 = $1.44 total. Listing the item cost $0 up front and the selling fee adds $0.00; the $1.44 is Feebrief's arithmetic from the two sourced inputs above.
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Item price | $25.00 |
| Shipping | $5.00 |
| Processing base | $30.00 |
| Listing fee | $0.00 |
| Selling fee (0%) | $0.00 |
| Payment processing (3.3% + $0.45) | $1.44 |

Optional Boost is not a listing fee
Boost is Depop's optional, ads-like visibility feature: a 12% fee charged only on sales attributed to a listing you chose to Boost (it applies to new listings from 2026-03-23). The fee base is the item price, plus shipping only when you ship with your own label — Boost is not charged on the shipping portion when a Depop Shipping label is used. It is strictly opt-in, off by default on Feebrief's /depop/ estimator, and it never attaches to the act of listing: posting costs $0 with or without it. The mechanics — attribution and worked examples — are on Depop Boost fee explained.
