Moving from Vinted to Depop
What changes for your fees, your listings, and your buyers — and how to actually make the move.
Move from Vinted to Depop for streetwear, Y2K, and hyped pieces — where Depop's brand gravity converts better despite a small processing fee.
What the switch does to your payout
Moving to Depop costs you more in fees than Vinted — you're trading margin for reach, so it only pays off if Depop sells what Vinted couldn't.
Net payout before and after the switch
| Sale price | Vinted net | Depop net | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $15.00 · no fee | $14.05 · −6.3% | − $0.95 |
| $25.00 | $25.00 · no fee | $23.72 · −5.1% | − $1.28 |
| $50.00 | $50.00 · no fee | $47.90 · −4.2% | − $2.10 |
| $100.00 | $100.00 · no fee | $96.25 · −3.8% | − $3.75 |
| $250.00 | $250.00 · no fee | $241.30 · −3.5% | − $8.70 |
| $500.00 | $500.00 · no fee | $483.05 · −3.4% | − $16.95 |
Net payout = sale price + shipping charged − platform fees, calculated with default options and no shipping charged to the buyer. Difference is what Depop nets you versus Vinted on the same sale.
Why sellers make this move
Vinted is free, but its buyer pool is broad-fashion and still scaling in the US. Sellers move to Depop when their inventory is Depop-iconic — streetwear, Y2K, vintage, hyped or branded pieces — because Depop's audience seeks exactly that and pays more for it, outweighing its small 3.3% + $0.45 processing fee.
What changes when you switch
- You pick up a small fee again — Depop's 3.3% + $0.45 processing (no seller commission since 2024) versus Vinted's flat zero.
- Audience sharpens toward Gen Z style: streetwear, Y2K, vintage, and trend-driven pieces convert better and can price higher.
- Depop discovery is hashtag-, style-, and social-driven, so strong photos and tags carry more weight than on Vinted.
- Everyday, trend-light basics that did fine on Vinted have less of an edge on Depop — its buyers come for the niche.
How to move your listings
No import exists between them. Recreate listings on Depop with style-appropriate tags and photos; keep trend-light basics on Vinted. Cross-listing tools can run both in parallel — just delist promptly wherever an item sells.
Before you switch everything
If your inventory is ordinary closet-clearing, Vinted's zero fees are hard to beat — don't pay Depop's processing for items its style-driven buyers won't prioritize. Depop wins specifically for its signature categories, where audience demand more than covers the small fee.
Frequently asked
Is Depop worth a fee when Vinted is free?
For Depop-iconic pieces, yes. Streetwear, Y2K, vintage, and hyped items find a more motivated audience on Depop that often pays enough more to cover its 3.3% + $0.45 processing. For everyday, trend-light clothing, Vinted's zero seller fee is the better home.
Did Depop really remove its 10% seller fee?
Yes, in 2024 Depop removed its 10% selling fee for US sellers and shifted the marketplace fee to buyers. Sellers now pay only the payment processing fee (3.3% + $0.45). This makes Depop one of the cheapest platforms for sellers — though buyers see a higher checkout total, which can affect conversion.
