Depop vs Poshmark: which keeps more?
Same closet cleanout, two fee structures, one winner.
Depop takes 0% commission from US sellers (just 3.3% + $0.45 processing); Poshmark takes 20% on sales of $15+ or $2.95 under $15. Enter your item once and see which resale app leaves more in your pocket.
Depop: 0% US selling commission; Depop Payments processing 3.3% + $0.45 on the order total; optional Boosted Listings ~12% of item price
Poshmark: 20% commission on sales of $15+; flat $2.95 on sales under $15 (buyer pays shipping separately)
Poshmark's model is item-price-only (the buyer pays shipping), while Depop's processing covers item + shipping charged — the comparison normalizes this by keeping shipping cost and item cost identical on both sides.

Why Depop usually wins on fees
Depop removed its US selling commission, so you're left with ~3.3% + $0.45 processing versus Poshmark's flat 20% (or $2.95 on cheap items). On a $28 sale that's roughly $1.54 vs $5.60 — a gap big enough to survive most price differences. Poshmark only starts looking competitive on sub-$15 items, where $2.95 hurts less than 20% would.
The boost caveat
Depop's optional 12% Boosted Listings fee can erase the advantage on a single sale — toggle it above to see your worst case. Boosts buy visibility, not margin; use them on items with room to spare.
Fees aren't the whole decision
Audience skews differently (Depop trends younger/streetwear; Poshmark broader fashion), and sell-through speed matters as much as per-sale margin. Use this for the fee half, then list where your buyers actually are.
