The verdict on a $50 sale
Depop wins the $50 test by $7.90 — the largest gap of any fashion-platform pairing. The reason is structural: Depop charges no selling fee in the US, only 3.3% + $0.45 processing, while Poshmark charges 20% of the sale price. On a $100 sale the gap grows to $15.85 (Depop $3.75 vs Poshmark $20.00). Poshmark’s case rests on its audience and social selling features, not its fee rate, so choose it when its buyers pay more or buy faster — otherwise Depop keeps far more of every sale.

When to pick each
Pick Depop for vintage, streetwear, and one-of-a-kind fashion where its younger, trend-driven audience shops, and for the lowest fees on almost any sale. Pick Poshmark for mainstream fashion, shoes, and accessories where its larger US buyer base and sharing/community features can move inventory faster. Many fashion resellers list on both and let fees decide only when the audience is equal.
How to calculate it
Depop fee = 3.3% × (sale price + shipping charged) + $0.45. Poshmark fee = $2.95 for sales under $15, otherwise 20% × sale price. You keep = sale price + shipping charged − fees. Net profit = you keep − item cost − actual shipping cost.
Tips to keep more
- On Depop, remember fees apply to shipping charged too, so price shipping honestly rather than inflating it.
- On Poshmark, every $1 you discount costs you $0.80 after the 20% fee — hold firm on price where you can.
- Depop’s Boosted listings add a percentage fee on top of processing; test it on slow stock only and compare the payout first.
- Cross-list fashion on both platforms when you can, and use the calculator above before accepting an offer.
