Guide for UK resellers
Vinted vs Depop vs eBay: where should you sell clothes?
All three can sell a jacket for you. What they take, who’s browsing and how fast things go are different. Here’s what you keep on each, and which suits what you’re selling.
What you keep on a sale
The payout after each platform’s seller fees, before what you paid for the item and before postage if you cover it. Fees as of October 2026.
| Platform | £10.00 sale | £25.00 sale | £50.00 sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vinted | £10.00 | £25.00 | £50.00 |
| eBay, private seller | £10.00 | £25.00 | £50.00 |
| eBay, business seller | £8.42 | £21.50 | £43.30 |
| Depop | £9.22 | £23.73 | £47.90 |
| Depop, boosted | £8.42 | £21.73 | £43.90 |
Vinted
Sellers pay nothing. The buyer pays postage and a Buyer Protection fee on top of your price, so a £25 sale puts £25 in your balance. Vinted is the biggest of the three for everyday clothes in the UK: high street brands, kids’ clothes, workwear and good basics sell steadily, and postage is simple with prepaid labels.
The catch is that buyers see the total with the fee added, and they haggle. Expect offers, and price with a little room. Our Buyer Protection calculator shows what a buyer will pay at your price.
Depop
No selling fee for UK sellers, but every sale carries payment processing, about 3.3% plus 45p, and a boosted listing that sells adds more. In return, Depop’s younger audience goes looking for vintage, streetwear, Y2K and one-off pieces, and will often pay more for them than Vinted buyers would. Photos and styling matter more here than anywhere else.
eBay
Private sellers in the UK don’t pay a final value fee on clothes, which makes eBay as cheap as Vinted for a clear-out. Business sellers pay a fee per sale, around 12.8% plus 30p in clothing. eBay reaches the widest range of buyers, including outside fashion circles, and suits branded menswear, sportswear, outdoor gear, shoes and anything collectors search for. Auctions can be worth it for rare pieces.
Which should you use?
- Clearing your wardrobe: Vinted first. No fees, lots of buyers, easy postage.
- Vintage and streetwear: Depop, where buyers expect to pay for it.
- Branded menswear, trainers, outdoor kit: eBay, for the reach.
- Reselling regularly: list on more than one, and delist everywhere the moment something sells.
Sell on more than one platform and the numbers get hard to follow: which site took what, and which sales made you money. The Vinted, eBay and Depop calculators work out a single sale. For a whole job lot, try the bundle calculator.
Fees change, and differ for business accounts and some categories. Check each platform’s current fees in your seller account before you rely on these numbers.
