Depop and Poshmark fees at six prices
The same sale run through both fee schedules, with no shipping charged, so the only variable is price. Fixed per-order charges make the effective rate fall as the price climbs on both sides, which is why a pair that looks close on a cheap item can be far apart on an expensive one.
| Sale price | Depop fees | Poshmark fees | Keeps more | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $0.78 | $2.95 | Depop | $2.17 |
| $25.00 | $1.28 | $5.00 | Depop | $3.72 |
| $50.00 | $2.10 | $10.00 | Depop | $7.90 |
| $100.00 | $3.75 | $20.00 | Depop | $16.25 |
| $250.00 | $8.70 | $50.00 | Depop | $41.30 |
| $500.00 | $16.95 | $100.00 | Depop | $83.05 |
Depop charges less at every price shown. The difference is what the other platform's audience, format, or logistics has to be worth to you.
A flat fee against a percentage
Poshmark charges a flat amount on sales below its threshold and a percentage at or above it. Depop no longer charges a US selling fee at all — what remains is payment processing plus a small fixed amount. The result is not a close race: on percentage terms Depop keeps a great deal more of the sale at every price above the Poshmark threshold, and the gap widens with price rather than closing.
Below the threshold the shapes invert. Poshmark's flat charge is the whole fee no matter how cheap the item, so on a very low-priced sale it is a large share of a small number, while Depop's fixed component is smaller. The table below runs both across the threshold so the step is visible rather than described.
Where the fee stops being the story
Poshmark's percentage buys a prepaid, weight-capped shipping label the buyer pays for, and a social feed that moves inventory through sharing rather than search. Depop's cheaper schedule leaves postage and promotion to you. Comparing the fee columns alone credits Depop with a saving that partly funds work Poshmark was doing.
The buyer bases differ enough to matter more than either. Depop skews younger and toward streetwear and Y2K; Poshmark toward mainstream contemporary brands. An item that sells in a week on one can sit for months on the other, and holding cost swamps a few percentage points of fee.
Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper on a $100 sale, Depop or Poshmark?
Depop — $3.75 against $20.00, a difference of $16.25 on a $100 item with no shipping charged. Depop is the cheaper of the two at every price in the table on this page, and the gap widens as the price rises because the percentage dominates once the fixed charges stop mattering.
Does Depop still charge a 10% selling fee?
No. The US selling fee was removed; what a US seller pays now is payment processing plus a small fixed amount per order. The calculator above uses the current published schedule, and the provenance record on the Depop calculator page shows when it was last verified against Depop's own fee page.
Why does Poshmark's fee jump at a specific price?
Poshmark charges a flat amount below its threshold and switches to a percentage at or above it. That produces a step rather than a curve, and the table above brackets it so you can see which side of the step your typical item sits on.
Does the cheaper fee make Depop the better platform?
Only if your inventory suits its buyers. Poshmark includes shipping label logistics in what it charges and reaches a different audience; an item that sells there in days and sits on Depop for months costs more in held capital than the fee difference recovers.
