How Depop fees work in Canada
For Canadian sellers, the main cost on Depop is the payment processing fee charged through Depop Payments, commonly around 3.3% + C$0.45 per sale, applied to the item price plus any shipping you collect. Depop has been moving away from its old flat 10% selling fee toward a buyer protection fee charged to the buyer at checkout, so what a seller pays now depends on the account and can be little more than processing.
Because the model keeps changing, this calculator makes the selling fee editable — set it to 0%, to 10%, or to whatever your Depop app currently displays. Optional Depop Boost promotes a listing for an extra percentage (around 8%) that only applies when a boosted item sells.
The formula
buyer total = item price + shipping charged
Depop fees = selling fee + boost + processing (3.3% + C$0.45)
profit = buyer total − item cost − shipping cost − Depop fees
Depop fees = selling fee + boost + processing (3.3% + C$0.45)
profit = buyer total − item cost − shipping cost − Depop fees
Worked example
A C$40 item with free shipping, 0% selling fee, no boost: processing = 40 × 0.033 + 0.45 = C$1.77. If it cost C$10 and shipping cost C$4, profit = 40 − 10 − 4 − 1.77 = C$24.23. Set the selling fee to 10% to model the older pricing.
