What the fees do not tell you
- Audience: Depop skews young and fashion-focused, great for streetwear, vintage and Y2K styles. eBay reaches a broader and often older audience, strong for brands, workwear, outdoor gear and bulk lots.
- Pricing: some items sell for more on eBay because more buyers see them.
- Sell-through: where an item sells faster matters as much as the fee.
A simple approach
List trend-led and vintage pieces on Depop first. List branded basics, larger sizes and niche categories on eBay. Cross-list slow sellers on both, and end the other listing as soon as one sells.
