Vinted vs Depop: Which App Is Better for Buying and Reselling?

Vinted vs Depop in short

Depop and Vinted look alike: two apps to buy and sell secondhand clothes from your phone. They are built for different crowds, though.

Depop is known for streetwear, Y2K and curated vintage, with a young, trend-driven audience. Vinted is a huge everyday closet: every brand, every size, from fast fashion to designer pieces, with a fast-growing US audience since 2026.

Fees change: always check each platform's current price list before pricing your items.

Fees

Both apps moved costs from sellers to buyers, but not to the same extent.

• On Vinted, sellers pay nothing: no commission, no payment processing fee. The buyer pays a Vinted fee of about 5% + $0.70 per order.
• On Depop, US sellers no longer pay a selling fee, but they still pay payment processing of about 3.3% + $0.45 per sale. Buyers pay a marketplace fee at checkout.

On a $50 sale, a Vinted seller keeps $50, a Depop seller keeps about $47.90 before shipping. The gap is small per item, but it adds up for resellers selling in volume.

Audience and style

Depop buyers come for a look. Curated shops, styled photos and trendy pieces sell well. A strong shop aesthetic and good photos make a real difference, and vintage or rare streetwear can sell at high prices.

Vinted buyers come for a brand, a size and a price. They search with filters and saved searches. Listings that sell are the ones with the right brand, size and keywords in the title, at a fair price.

For resellers, that gives a simple pattern: Vinted is a great place to source, because casual sellers list brand-name items quickly and cheaply, while Depop rewards curated, styled listings.

Shipping and protection

On Vinted, every sale ships with a prepaid label (USPS in the US). The buyer has 2 days after delivery to report an issue, and the money is held until then. Read Is Vinted Legit? for the details and the scams to avoid.

On Depop, you can use Depop's shipping labels or ship yourself, and purchases paid through Depop are covered by its buyer protection.

Sourcing on Vinted: be the first to see new listings

The best Vinted deals, like an underpriced vintage jacket or a designer piece listed by someone clearing out their closet, often sell within minutes.

That is why resellers use a Vinted monitor like Souk:

• Alerts by brand, category, size, condition, keywords and price.
• A push notification the moment a matching item is listed.
• A live feed of new listings across all your alerts.
• One-click purchase with Autobuy, to check out before anyone else.
