- Fees on each sale What the platform takes from one order for a US seller, read from each platform's own fee page.

What Depop and Poshmark keep from a $30 sale
Fees are easier to compare on one order than as percentages. Example: one $30 jacket sold to a US buyer. Depop charges US sellers zero selling fees, so that sale pays only 3.3% + $0.45 for payment processing. On Poshmark it pays the 20% commission, because the price is at or above $15.
- Depop baseline $1.44 no monthly plan Processing 3.3% + $0.45 $1.44
- Poshmark $6 no monthly plan Commission 20% $6
Assumes a $30 item, a US seller and buyer, shipping paid by the buyer, no promoted listing and no sales tax. Depop charges processing on the item sale price plus shipping costs and any applicable taxes, so on a real order the Depop fee is a little higher than shown once shipping is added. Depop's boosting fee of 12% applies only to sales from boosted listings and is left out. Depop buyers also pay a marketplace fee of up to 5% of the item purchase price, plus a fixed amount of up to $/£1, and Depop tells sellers who cross-list that items priced the same as on other platforms will be less competitive on Depop.
