Vinted vs Depop for Sellers: Which Should You Use in 2026?
Vinted and Depop are the two biggest secondhand platforms in Europe, but they behave differently for sellers. Here's how they compare on the things that affect your profit.
Fees
Vinted charges buyers a Buyer Protection fee and lets sellers list for free, so your listed price is closer to what you keep. Depop charges sellers a commission on sales.
Lower seller-side friction is a big reason Vinted has scaled so fast across the EU.
Audience and what sells
Vinted skews toward everyday branded fashion, basics, and value across five large EU markets. Depop skews younger, more trend- and vintage-led, and is strong in the UK and US.
If you source recognisable mid-market brands and sneakers, Vinted's volume is hard to beat. For curated vintage and streetwear with a story, Depop can command higher prices.
How to decide
Match the item to the platform: high-volume branded basics and sneakers → Vinted; curated/vintage/trend pieces → Depop. Many resellers cross-list.
Wherever you list, the buy decision is the same: only source items with real demand and margin. Resale IQ focuses on Vinted's 5 EU markets and 30M+ listings to make that call.
