The "Zero-Fee" Revolution in the UK
Selling on Depop in 2026 is a whole new game. In a bold move to compete with platforms like Vinted, Depop has **scrapped the 10% selling fee** for UK sellers. This means for most items, you keep 100% of the sale price—but there are still "hidden" costs you must account for to stay profitable.
Think of it as a digital car boot sale where the pitch is free, but you still have to pay the person processing the card payments.
