Moving from Depop to Vinted
Why Vinted pays you more than Depop, what the move costs you in everything that isn't fees, and how to actually get your listings across.
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.
Is there an official import from Depop to Vinted?
Only through Vinted's Pro API, which needs a Pro account, manual allowlist approval from Vinted, and starts capped at 500 active item slots. It is not open to personal sellers.
Getting your listings out of Depop: there's no export route — Depop gives personal sellers no way to download their listings in bulk, so a cross-listing tool reading your account is the only practical route short of copying by hand.
Cross-listing tools that cover this pair
Vendoo , Crosslist and List Perfectly support both Depop and Vinted for import and posting. Pricing and coverage for each.
The catch nobody advertises: none of these tools can auto-delist on Vinted. Sale detection works on eBay, Poshmark, Depop, Mercari and Whatnot — so if you keep an item live on both platforms and it sells on Vinted, the duplicate elsewhere stays up until you pull it yourself. Plan on checking daily, or don't run the two in parallel.
What Vinted will make you fill in that Depop never asked for
Depop never made you record this, so there is nothing to carry across — you supply it item by item:
Already collected by Depop: Category, Brand, Size, Condition, Photos.
Vinted is the strictest destination in this set. Its listing form is heavily structured, so free-form descriptions carried over from a looser platform arrive with the fields Vinted actually filters on left empty — and unfilled brand and size fields are why imported listings quietly fail to appear in buyer searches.
What you're giving up on Depop
Depop's listing form is comparatively forgiving and its descriptions are free-form, so listings moved onto Depop usually survive the trip intact. Moving off Depop is the harder direction — the styling and hashtag conventions that work there read as noise elsewhere.
What carries over and what doesn't is the same for every switch.

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.
