What you keep from a sale
| Item price | Vinted payout | Depop payout (before shipping and tax in the processing fee) |
|---|---|---|

| $25 | $25.00 | about $23.73 |

Depop’s processing fee also applies to shipping and tax, so your real payout is a little lower than the column shows. On both apps the buyer pays a similar platform fee at checkout.
Which to choose
- For pure fees, Vinted edges it. The gap is small: roughly 3% plus 45 cents per sale.
- For promotion, Vinted Bumps cost a set amount per item, while Depop’s boosting takes 12% only when a boosted item sells. If you rarely promote, it doesn’t matter.
- For audience, both are large in the US. Monthly US Google searches were about 3.35 million for “vinted” and 2.74 million for “depop” in October 2026, with both rising.
- For style, sell where your kind of item already sells well: search each app for similar items and look at how many have sold.
