About Depop
Depop is a fashion resale marketplace where people sell secondhand, vintage and handmade clothing and accessories from their own shop profiles. Listings look a lot like a social feed: sellers post photos, buyers follow shops they like, and the app surfaces trends and curated edits, which suits people hunting for a particular look rather than a bargain basics haul. Selling and payments happen in the app, with shipping handled by the seller or through Depop's labels in some markets, and fees that differ by country. It runs on iPhone, Android and the web, with its main audiences in the UK, US and Australia. Depop was owned by Etsy until eBay agreed to buy it in early 2026; that deal closed in July 2026, and the app continues to run under its own brand. The trade-offs: pricing and fees change from country to country, and quality and sizing depend entirely on individual sellers.
Best for: Younger shoppers and sellers into vintage, streetwear and trend-led secondhand fashion.
