When does Depop pay you? Depop pays U.S. sellers 2 business days after an order shows as delivered, or 10 business days after the sale, whichever comes first. The money goes into your Depop Balance first.
From there, you withdraw it to your linked bank account, and the transfer takes up to 5 days. Below, you'll find the full timeline, two worked examples, what each balance status means, and how to fix a late payout.
When does Depop pay you? TL;DR
- U.S. earnings reach your Depop Balance 2 business days after delivery, or 10 business days after the sale, whichever comes first.
- A withdrawal from your Depop Balance takes up to 5 days to appear in your bank account.
- Depop keeps pending money locked until the item shows as delivered or 10 business days pass, so accurate tracking gets you paid sooner.
- Late payouts usually come down to tracking, identity verification, an open dispute, wrong bank details, or a negative balance.
- UK sellers who ship manually wait 10 business days after delivery, and UK and Australian payouts go to the bank automatically.
When does Depop pay you after a sale?
Depop pays U.S. sellers into their Depop Balance, not straight into a bank account. You then move the money to your bank yourself. Each step has its own deadline:
Depop's U.S. payout policy uses whichever date comes first: 2 business days after delivery or 10 business days after the sale. An unresolved dispute or another payment hold can still delay access to your earnings.
If your expected payout date has passed, check your Depop Balance and contact support if the money remains unavailable. Depop counts business days, so weekends don't move the clock. Holidays can push your payout back by a day.
Depop's Top Sellers skip the wait and get paid as soon as they sell.
How long does Depop take to pay?
Both examples assume a U.S. sale, a Depop USPS label, and no holidays.
Example 1: The package arrives in 3 days
You sell a $60 denim jacket on a Monday and ship it the next day.
You'd withdraw $57.57, which is the $60 sale minus Depop's $2.43 payment processing fee (3.3% + $0.45), assuming the buyer paid no shipping or sales tax.
Example 2: The package takes 9 business days
You sell a pair of sneakers on a Monday, but USPS doesn't deliver them until Friday of the following week.
The delivery rule would release your money 2 business days after that Friday, on the Tuesday of week three. The 10-business-day fallback falls one day earlier, on the Monday of week three. Depop pays on whichever date comes first, so your earnings become available on that Monday.
What do Depop Balance statuses mean?
Your Depop Balance can show money you can't withdraw yet. That’s because Depop separates earnings that are still processing from money you can move to your bank.
Why your Depop Balance is negative
Your Depop Balance can become negative if you or Depop issue a refund when your available balance is too low to cover it. If your balance is $5 and you refund $30, your balance drops to –$25.
Depop won't pay you out while your balance is negative. Its payment troubleshooting page recommends connecting a top-up card in your payment settings to stop refunds from pushing your balance below zero.
How to withdraw money from your Depop Balance
U.S. sellers move available earnings to their bank by hand. Depop doesn't transfer U.S. balances automatically.
- Open Depop and go to My Depop.
- Tap My account in the top-right corner.
- Tap Depop Balance, then Withdraw.
The money takes up to 5 days to appear in your bank account. If you can't tap the Withdraw button, your earnings are still pending, or Depop needs you to finish identity verification.
How to connect a bank account to Depop
You need a valid bank account before you can withdraw anything.
- iOS: My Depop > My account > Depop Balance
- Android: My Depop > Settings > Depop Balance, then open Payment Settings to review or update your connected bank account.
Depop can also ask you to verify your identity with a photo ID. Enter your name and details exactly as you did when you signed up for Depop, because mismatched details block withdrawals.
If you're setting up a new shop, follow our Depop selling guide for listings, shipping, and payouts.
Why haven't I been paid on Depop?
A late Depop payout usually traces back to one of five problems. Work through them in this order before you contact support.
1. Tracking doesn't show the item as delivered
Depop can release U.S. earnings 2 business days after confirmed delivery or 10 business days after the sale, whichever comes first. Missing or delayed tracking can make it harder to confirm delivery and resolve payment issues. Check that your carrier has updated the tracking information and that your order shows as shipped.
Depop removed own-label shipping ("Other") for new U.S. listings on October 28, 2026. If an older listing still uses it, add the tracking number to the order within 10 days of the sale.
Follow our steps for marking an item as shipped if you haven't done it before.
2. Your identity isn't verified
Depop holds payouts until you complete identity verification. Open your payment settings and look for a request to upload ID or confirm your details. Set this up before your first sale so your first payout isn't delayed.
3. The buyer opened a case
If a buyer reports an item as missing or not as described, Depop holds the earnings for that order until the case closes. Reply in the app with your tracking number and photos of the item and packaging.
4. Your bank details are wrong
Incorrect or incomplete bank details can prevent a payout from reaching your account. Open Payment Settings and check that your connected bank account is correct. Depop recommends verifying the last four digits of your account number and completing any outstanding identity checks.
5. A refund made your balance negative
Depop doesn't pay out while your Depop Balance is below zero. Find the refund that caused the shortfall in your transaction history. Depop clears a negative balance by debiting your connected bank account, and notifies you before it takes the payment.
When to contact Depop Support
Contact Depop through the Help Centre if your tracking shows delivered, your details are correct, nothing is held, and your earnings are still pending after 10 business days. Include the order number, the delivery date, and your balance status.
Can you get paid on Depop without a bank account or PayPal?
How you get paid depends on the country your Depop account is based in.
Without a bank account
No, you can’t get paid without a bank account. Sellers in the U.S., UK, and Australia get paid through Depop Payments, which runs on Stripe and pays out only to a connected bank account. You can make sales before adding one, but the money stays in your Depop Balance until you do.
Without PayPal
Yes, you can get paid without PayPal in the U.S., UK, and Australia. These sellers don't need PayPal at all, because Depop Payments handles both the buyer's payment and your payout.
With PayPal
No, not if you’re a seller based in the U.S., UK, and Australia. Sellers based everywhere else, including Canada, get paid through PayPal. The sale money goes to your PayPal account, so PayPal's own holds and withdrawal times apply. Outside of the U.S., UK, and Australia, you also pay Depop's 10% selling fee plus PayPal's processing fee.
If you're under 18
Depop lets you sign up at age 13, but you must be over 18 to hold a Depop Payments account. If you're under 18, Depop requires a parent or guardian to verify their details on your behalf before you can sell and receive payments. Check Depop's payment setup requirements for your country before connecting an account.
When does Depop pay you in the UK and Australia?
UK and Australian sellers don't tap Withdraw. Depop automatically transfers earnings to the connected bank account, and the shipping method determines the date.
In the UK, Depop asks sellers to contact support if their payment hasn't been sent to the bank after 10 business days (14 calendar days), according to its UK payout guide. Early Depop Payments users and Top Sellers can be on a different schedule.
In Australia, Depop gives two timings: Its Australian payout page says 10 business days after the sale, and its payout schedule page says 2–3 business days after delivery for Depop Shipping or tracked AusPost. Check the payout date in your Depop Balance for your next payout date.
How much does Depop take from your payout?
Depop takes its fees out before the money reaches your Depop Balance. Sellers in the U.S., UK, and Australia pay no selling fee, only a payment processing fee.
According to Depop's seller fees page, the processing fee applies to the item price, shipping, and any sales tax. Depop dropped its 10% selling fee in Australia in July 2026 and added a marketplace fee that buyers pay at checkout.
On a $100 U.S. sale with no shipping or tax, Depop takes $3.75 in processing, and you keep $96.25. A sale through a Boosted Listing costs an extra 12% in the U.S. and UK.
