Vinted vs Depop vs Poshmark: Fees Compared (2026)
Three apps, three completely different fee philosophies. One charges the buyer, one charges almost nothing, and one takes a fifth of every sale. Here's exactly what each costs a seller in 2026 — and what you actually keep on the same item across all three.
The fee structures, side by side
| Platform | Selling commission | Payment processing | Fixed fee | Who pays |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinted | $0 | $0 | $0 | Buyer (5% + €0.70 protection) |
| Depop (US) | 0% selling fee* | 3.3% | $0.45 | Seller |
| Poshmark | 20% (sales $15+) | included | $2.95 flat (under $15) | Seller |
*Depop removed its 10% selling fee for US & UK listings created after July 15, 2024. Sellers outside the US/UK still pay 10% + processing. UK processing is ~2.9% + £0.30.
What it means in plain terms
Vinted — the fee is the buyer's problem
Vinted's seller fee is the simplest in resale: there isn't one. You keep 100% of your list price. The Buyer Protection fee (5% + €0.70) is charged to the buyer at checkout, so it never reduces your payout. Shipping is also the buyer's, via a prepaid label. Full breakdown in Vinted Fees Explained (2026).
Depop — nearly free in the US/UK, after a big 2024 change
Depop used to take 10% of every sale. As of mid-2024 that selling fee is gone for US and UK sellers — you now pay only payment processing (about 3.3% + $0.45 in the US, 2.9% + £0.30 in the UK), charged on the total including shipping. That makes Depop dramatically cheaper than it was, and competitive with Vinted for low-value items. Sellers outside those two markets still pay the old 10% on top of processing.
Poshmark — simple, all-inclusive, and expensive
Poshmark rolls shipping, processing, and support into a single commission: a flat $2.95 on sales under $15, or 20% on anything $15 and up. There are no other fees, which is genuinely simple — but on a $60 item that 20% is $12, versus $0 on Vinted. The more your item is worth, the more Poshmark's model costs you relative to the others.
The head-to-head: what you keep on the same item
List the identical item at the same price on all three. Here's your take-home (US fees, shipping handled by the platform/buyer):
| List price | Vinted | Depop (US) | Poshmark |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $10.00 | $9.22 | $7.05 |
| $25 | $25.00 | $23.73 | $20.00 |
| $60 | $60.00 | $57.57 | $48.00 |
| $120 | $120.00 | $115.59 | $96.00 |
Depop: price − (3.3% + $0.45). Poshmark: flat $2.95 under $15, else 20%. Vinted seller fee $0. Figures exclude the buyer-side Buyer Protection fee and any optional promotions. Verify current rates before you list.
The pattern is clear: at low prices Vinted and Depop are close, and Poshmark's flat $2.95 stings hardest on cheap items. As the price climbs, Poshmark's 20% pulls further away while Vinted stays at the full amount. At $120, Vinted nets you $24 more than Poshmark on a single sale.
So which should you sell on?
- Maximum take-home: Vinted, every time — $0 seller fees.
- Audience for streetwear / vintage / Gen-Z fashion: Depop's near-zero US/UK fees now make it viable where it used to cost 10%.
- Established US closet with a following: Poshmark's social features can drive volume — just price knowing 20% disappears on every $15+ sale.
Fees are only one input. Audience, item category, and how fast things actually sell matter too. But if two platforms would sell the item equally fast, the fee math says list it on Vinted.

FAQ
Which is cheapest for sellers: Vinted, Depop, or Poshmark?
Vinted. It charges sellers nothing on a standard sale. Depop (US/UK) charges only payment processing (~3.3% + $0.45 in the US). Poshmark is the most expensive, taking 20% on sales of $15+ or a flat $2.95 on sales under $15.
Does Depop still charge a 10% selling fee in 2026?
Not for US and UK sellers. Depop removed its 10% selling fee for listings created after July 15, 2024 in those markets, leaving only payment processing (~3.3% + $0.45 in the US, ~2.9% + £0.30 in the UK). Sellers outside the US and UK still pay the 10% selling fee plus processing.
Why is Poshmark so much more expensive?
Poshmark bundles everything — prepaid shipping label, payment processing, support — into one 20% commission on sales of $15 or more (flat $2.95 under $15). It's simple, but on higher-value items that 20% is a large bite compared with Vinted's $0 or Depop's processing-only fee.
