Vinted vs Depop Fee Calculator

Vinted takes nothing from the seller. Depop takes about 3.3% plus $0.45. The gap is smaller than it used to be.

Vinted payout = the full listed price (sellers pay no fee at all); Depop payout = price − (3.3% + $0.45), which is payment processing only since Depop scrapped its 10% US selling fee in 2024. On a $30 sale Vinted pays you $30.00 and Depop pays $28.56, so Vinted keeps you $1.44 ahead; on a $100 sale the gap is $3.75. There is no crossover — Vinted wins at every price, because zero is never beaten by a positive rate. The trade-off sits on the other side of the transaction: Vinted funds itself through a Buyer Protection fee of about 5% + $0.70 that the buyer pays on top of your price, so a $30 item costs the buyer $32.20. That extra cost is real competitive friction, and it is the reason a lower seller fee does not automatically mean more money — a Depop listing that sells beats a Vinted listing that does not. Single-platform detail lives in the Vinted fee calculator and the Depop fee calculator.

Frequently asked questions

Does Vinted really charge sellers nothing?

Yes — no selling commission and no payment processing fee on the sale itself. Vinted funds the marketplace through the Buyer Protection fee the buyer pays on top of your asking price, plus optional paid listing boosts. That is a genuine structural difference from Depop, not a promotional rate.

So is Vinted always the better deal?

On fees, yes, at every price. On outcomes, not necessarily. The buyer on Vinted pays about 5% + $0.70 more than your sticker price, which suppresses what buyers are willing to offer and can slow sell-through. Depop also skews to different buyers and categories. A $30 item that sells on Depop for $28.56 net beats a $30 Vinted listing nobody buys — and at $1.44, the fee gap is now small enough that sell-through should decide it.

How big does the gap get on expensive items?

It scales with price, since Depop's remaining fee is mostly percentage-based. The gap is $1.11 on a $20 item, $1.44 at $30, and $3.75 at $100 — 3.3% of the price plus $0.45. That is a third of what it was before Depop dropped its 10% selling fee, and small enough that it should rarely decide the venue on its own.

Does this include shipping or item cost?

No — this page isolates the platform fee stacks so the comparison stays clean. Shipping is structured differently on each (Vinted buyers pay a chosen carrier rate; Depop shipping is seller-configured), and your item cost is identical either way. The single-platform calculators linked above carry item-cost fields for the profit-after-cost view.
