Vinted vs Depop Fees in the UK (2026)
By Selling Fee Tools team ·
Neither Vinted nor Depop charges UK sellers a selling fee any more, but they still differ. On Depop the seller pays payment processing; on Vinted the buyer pays a fee instead. This guide compares them from each platform’s help pages, checked in November 2026.
The fees side by side
| Vinted (UK) | Depop (UK) | |
|---|---|---|
| Selling fee | None | None |
| Fee paid by the seller | None | 2.9% + £0.30 processing on item + postage |
| Vinted fee paid by the buyer | 3–8% + £0.30–£0.80 | not applicable |
| Promotion | Bumps, priced per listing | Boosting: 12% when a boosted item sells |
| Postage | Buyer pays at checkout | Charged to the buyer; processing applies |
The same sales on both
With £2.99 postage paid by the buyer, and on Depop a £2.99 label paid by you:
| Item price | Vinted: you keep | Depop: you keep | Depop, boosted at 12% | Vinted: buyer pays |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £10 | £10.00 | £9.32 | £7.76 | £13.59 to £14.59 |
| £20 | £20.00 | £19.03 | £16.27 | £23.89 to £25.39 |
| £50 | £50.00 | £48.16 | £41.80 | £54.79 to £57.79 |
On Vinted you keep the whole price, and the buyer pays Vinted’s fee on top; on Depop you give up a little of the sale to processing. Boosting on Depop costs far more than processing.
Selling as a business
Vinted has Pro accounts for businesses; their buyers pay a flat 3% fee on orders of £500 or more. If you’re VAT-registered, remember that VAT is due on your sales on either platform; the UK VAT calculator works out the VAT in a price.
