Vinted vs Depop vs eBay: Which Platform Fits What You Sell?
The right platform depends on what you sell, where you live and whether you sell as a private individual or a business. Fees in particular change often and differ by country, so treat the summary below as a starting point and check the official pages linked at the end.
Fees at a glance (private sellers, reviewed 9 October 2026)
| Vinted | Depop | eBay | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seller selling fee | The local price list may distinguish private and professional sellers | Depop's current help page lists no selling fee for eligible UK, US and Australian sellers and a 10% selling fee for many sellers elsewhere | Depends on the national site, seller status, category and optional services |
| Other seller costs | Optional visibility services and any services shown in the local flow | Payment processing where applicable; optional Boost | Optional upgrades, promoted listings and possible international-sale costs |
| Buyer charges | Buyer Protection and shipping are shown in the order summary | Marketplace or processing charges may depend on the buyer's and seller's markets | Some national sites charge buyer-protection fees in defined cases |
This table is a dated summary, not a quote for a particular sale. Before listing, open the fee page for your country and check the amount displayed in the listing or checkout flow. Professional accounts, promoted listings, cross-border transactions, payment processing and regulated categories may be treated differently.
Vinted
Good for: everyday clothing, high-street brands, children's clothes, bundles.
- A Buyer Protection fee may be added to the buyer's order. Check the local price list and the amount shown for the transaction; professional-seller arrangements may differ.
- Integrated shipping labels; available carriers depend on the country.
- Offers and negotiation are part of the culture: leave some margin.
Depop
Good for: vintage, streetwear, "curated" pieces with a strong visual style.
- Its current official fee page distinguishes eligible sellers in the UK, US and Australia from many sellers elsewhere.
- Payment-processing and optional boosting charges can still apply. Check the fee summary for your location and currency.
- Photos and styling matter a lot in the feed.
eBay
Good for: electronics, collectibles, higher-value and branded items, international buyers.
- Auctions and Best Offer formats.
- Item specifics (brand, size, model…) help buyers filter: fill them in completely.
- Fee rules vary by site and seller type: check your country's fee page.
Example: same item, three platforms
For a pair of used sneakers listed at €60, do not assume that €60 is either the seller's net proceeds or the buyer's total. For each platform, check:
- the seller fee and payment-processing charge shown for your account;
- optional promotion or visibility fees;
- buyer-protection, shipping, tax or cross-border charges;
- the net proceeds or total displayed before you confirm.
Save the transaction summary if the margin matters. Fee structures can change after this article is reviewed.
Listing on more than one platform
Selling the same item on several platforms can increase exposure, but you must remove it everywhere as soon as it sells. Cross-listing tools such as Vendoo or List Perfectly automate this; SellFast AI does not: it drafts the listing text from your photos for Vinted, eBay or Subito.it.
