Depop fee calculator
See what you keep after Depop's payment processing fee, and your real profit on a flip. Works for Vinted too.
How Vinted and Depop fees work (UK)
Fees change the maths more than most people think, especially on cheap items. Here's what applies in the UK right now.
| When you buy | When you sell | |
|---|---|---|
| Vinted | Buyer Protection, usually 5% of the price + £0.70, plus postage | No selling fee. The buyer pays postage. |
| Depop | No extra buyer fee, plus postage | No selling fee, but 2.9% + £0.30 payment processing on the item price and postage |
Fees checked September 2026. Platforms change fees from time to time; check their help pages if something looks off. This calculator is a guide, not financial advice.
The biggest mistake new resellers make isn't fees, though. It's guessing the sale price from what other sellers are asking. Asking prices are often far higher than what things actually sell for, so always base your estimate on real recent sales.
Questions
Does Vinted charge sellers a fee?
No. In the UK, Vinted sellers pay no selling fee. The buyer pays a Buyer Protection fee (usually 5% of the item price plus £0.70) and the postage.
What fees does Depop charge UK sellers?
No selling fee for UK sellers, but there's a payment processing fee of 2.9% + £0.30 on the item price plus postage.
What's a good profit on a flip?
It depends on your time, but many resellers aim to at least double their money, or make £10+ per item. Under £3 is rarely worth the photos, listing and trip to the post office.
How do I know what an item will sell for?
Look at what the same item has actually sold for recently, not what people are asking. The Bargin app does this for you: paste a Vinted or Depop link and it gives a realistic sale price, profit and a buy-or-skip verdict.
