Quick answer: Vinted leaves you more on everyday clothes, kids' things and homeware, because it takes nothing from sellers. Depop can be worth it for streetwear, Y2K and vintage, where its younger, fashion-led buyers may pay more. On a £20 item with £3.20 postage you keep £20.00 on Vinted and £19.03 on Depop.

When Vinted wins
Vinted takes nothing from sellers, and the buyer chooses and pays for postage, so the price you list at is the price you receive. For everyday clothes, kids' things and homeware, its huge UK audience of bargain hunters usually means a quicker sale, and you keep every penny of your price.
When Depop wins
Depop's buyers lean younger and come for style: streetwear, Y2K, vintage and one-off pieces. If an item suits that crowd, it may sell for a few pounds more than on Vinted, which easily covers Depop's payment fee of about £1 on a £20 sale.
Think before you Boost
A Boost on Depop costs 12% of the item price, but only if the sale comes from it. That's £2.40 on a £20 item, more than double the payment fee. It can help a listing get seen, but on cheaper items it eats a big share of what you make.
Watch the buyer's total
Both add a buyer fee on top of your price, and the totals end up close: about £24.90 on Vinted and up to £25.20 on Depop for a £20 item with £3.20 postage. So buyers won't pick one over the other on price alone. Pick the platform whose buyers want your item.
Can you list on both?
Yes. Lots of sellers list the same item on both and remove the other listing as soon as it sells. The risk is selling it twice, so be quick to delist, or use a cross-listing app that does it for you.
Questions people ask
Is Vinted or Depop cheaper for sellers?
Vinted. It charges sellers nothing, so you keep your full price. Depop has no selling fee either, but takes payment processing of 2.9% + £0.30 on the price plus postage, which is about £0.97 on a £20 item with £3.20 postage.
How much does a Depop Boost cost?
12% of the item price, but only if the sale comes from the Boost. On a £20 item that's another £2.40, so you'd keep about £16.63 instead of £19.03.
Do buyers pay a fee on Vinted and Depop?
Yes, on both. Vinted buyers pay a Vinted fee of 5% of the price plus £0.70. Depop buyers pay a fee of up to 5% of the price plus up to £1. Neither comes out of your money.
Which is better for streetwear and vintage?
Often Depop. Its buyers lean younger and fashion-led, and trend-led pieces can sell for more there, which can outweigh the small payment fee. For everyday clothes, Vinted usually leaves you more.
Can I list the same item on Vinted and Depop?
Yes. Many sellers do, and remove the other listing as soon as it sells. Be quick to delist so you don't sell it twice.
