How much does Depop take from a $75 sale?
At $75 the 45¢ charge is only 15.4% of what you pay, so the effective rate of 3.9% is almost the pure percentage: at this price the fee behaves like a straight 3.3% cut. In cash terms you pay $2.93 of the $75 and $72.07 reaches you, assuming the buyer is charged no shipping, the listing is not boosted and you ship with a Depop label.
$75 sale: the fee breakdown
| Line | Amount | How it is worked out |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price (what the buyer pays for the item) | $75.00 | The item price only — this page assumes the buyer is charged no shipping and no tax is collected. |
| Payment processing | $2.93 | 3.3% of $75.00 = $2.48, plus the flat $0.45. |
| Depop selling fee | $0.00 | US sellers are not charged a selling fee, so this line is zero by design rather than by discount. |
| Boost fee | $0.00 | Zero because this listing is not boosted. A boosted listing would add 12.0% of the item price. |
| Total fees | $2.93 | Processing plus selling fee plus boost fee. |
| You keep (payout) | $72.07 | From the sale, before your own shipping and item costs. |
| Effective fee rate | 3.9% | Total fees divided by the $75.00 sale — the number that actually lands on your margin. |
Why $75 sits where it does
Flat charge share of the fee
15.4%
$0.45 of the $2.93 you pay is the fixed charge, so this slice of your fee does not change if the price changes.
Percentage share of the fee
84.6%
The rest is the 3.3% component — $2.48 on this sale — which scales with whatever you charge.
Distance from the headline rate
0.6%
Your effective rate is 3.9% against a headline 3.3%. That gap is entirely the flat $0.45 spread over this price.
These figures assume no shipping is charged to the buyer and no tax is collected. Both are added to the processing base before the 3.3% is applied, so charging the buyer shipping raises processing by 3.3% of that shipping amount — around $0.26 on an $8 label — while the shipping itself passes through to you.

What to do at $75
These suggestions follow from the fee structure alone — the split between the fixed $0.45 charge and the 3.3% that scales. They are not Depop promotions or programmes.
- The flat $0.45 is 0.6% of a $75 sale, so roughly 15.4% of your fee is fixed and cannot be reduced by changing the price.
- Around 3.3% of the sale is the part that scales. At $75 the two halves are comparable, which is why the effective rate sits between the entry-level and premium figures.
- This is the band where comparing an offer against a slightly higher sale price is worth doing: the fee difference between two nearby prices is usually only a few cents.
In cash terms the fee splits into $0.45 of fixed charge and $2.48 of percentage charge — those two halves are what the suggestions above react to.
