Moving from Depop to Vinted
What changes for your fees, your listings, and your buyers — and how to actually make the move.
Move from Depop to Vinted to drop even Depop's small processing fee to zero — same Gen Z fashion lane, no seller fees at all.
What the switch does to your payout
Across common sale prices, moving to Vinted keeps more in your pocket on every sale — you stop paying Depop's fees.
Net payout before and after the switch
| Sale price | Depop net | Vinted net | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $14.05 · −6.3% | $15.00 · no fee | + $0.95 |
| $25.00 | $23.72 · −5.1% | $25.00 · no fee | + $1.28 |
| $50.00 | $47.90 · −4.2% | $50.00 · no fee | + $2.10 |
| $100.00 | $96.25 · −3.8% | $100.00 · no fee | + $3.75 |
| $250.00 | $241.30 · −3.5% | $250.00 · no fee | + $8.70 |
| $500.00 | $483.05 · −3.4% | $500.00 · no fee | + $16.95 |
Net payout = sale price + shipping charged − platform fees, calculated with default options and no shipping charged to the buyer. Difference is what Vinted nets you versus Depop on the same sale.
Why sellers make this move
Depop is already cheap since it dropped its seller commission, but still charges 3.3% + $0.45 processing. Vinted charges sellers nothing at all. For thrifted and trend-light fashion that can move either way, Vinted's zero-fee math edges out Depop.
What changes when you switch
- Even Depop's small fee disappears — Vinted takes 0% from sellers vs Depop's 3.3% + $0.45.
- Both target Gen Z fashion, but Depop has stronger pull for streetwear, Y2K, and hyped or branded pieces.
- Vinted's US audience is newer and still scaling; Depop has deeper brand recognition in its niche.
- Buyers pay Vinted's Buyer Protection fee separately, which doesn't reduce your payout.
How to move your listings
No import between them. Relist manually or via a cross-lister. If you keep both, delist promptly wherever an item sells to avoid double-selling.
Before you switch everything
On Depop-iconic categories — sneakers, vintage band tees, Y2K, streetwear — Depop's audience converts better and can command higher prices that outweigh its small fee. Vinted's edge is everyday, trend-light closet items where the buyer pools overlap and every dollar of fee matters.
Frequently asked
Is it worth leaving Depop for Vinted over a ~4% fee?
For everyday, trend-light items where the audiences overlap, yes — Vinted's 0% seller fee beats Depop's 3.3% + $0.45 on every sale. For streetwear, Y2K, and hyped pieces, Depop's stronger buyer demand can still net more despite the small fee.
Why is Vinted free for sellers?
Vinted moved its monetization to the buyer side — buyers pay a 'Buyer Protection' fee at checkout (typically 3-8% of the item price plus a small fixed amount). Sellers receive 100% of their asking price. This zero-fee model is Vinted's biggest differentiator versus other resale marketplaces, especially in markets where they're newer like the US.
