Not modeled here

Payout fees: Not modeled — Depop publishes no payout or withdrawal fee for the U.S.: money reaches your Depop Balance 2 business days after delivery (or 10 business days after the sale) and bank withdrawals take up to 5 days (checked October 13, 2026).

Marketplace fee (paid by the buyer): Not modeled — Depop gives it as ‘up to 5% + up to $1′; the current U.S. rate wasn’t re-read (checked October 28, 2026).

How the numbers are checked

  1. Read on the platform’s own page. Every rate, minimum and cap comes from the platform’s help or policy page, with the date it was read. News sites and forum posts wait until the platform confirms them.
  2. Tested to the cent. Every calculator runs on one engine, and its arithmetic is covered by automated tests with worked examples — so the same sale gives the same numbers on every page.
  3. Honest about gaps. A rule that can’t be confirmed shows “Not modeled” with the reason. A rule with two fair readings shows a range, and the comparison ranks by the lower one.
  4. Dated and logged. Rates are re-checked on a schedule; every fee and price change goes into the public fee change log with its effective date.
