i know this comment is really late but i just started selling on depop and depop has been taking 3-4 dollars on my $15-18 items. my shipping is usually between $3.50 to $4.85 depending on the item. anyways i recently sold a $15 item with $3.50 shipping and i received only $15 because they took $3 so i’m confused on why i’m even setting a shipping price when they take that money and i have to pay for it? i thought the shipping money was so i could pay for my shipping but it feels like they’re just taking my money i need for shipping :/
Thank you so it’s asking for a shipping price but I just posted my first item and I’ll what price to put the dress is very small and light that could fit in a small package.
This is hands-down the most thorough and helpful video on shipping I’ve seen yet! Thank you so much. ☺️💖 One question: when you’ve weighed everything out and calculated the shipping and everything, do you just pop your packages into your own home mailbox, or do you take them to the post office?
Hi! I usually stop by the post office to just drop it off, there's a handle thing in my local office where I can just drop it off without talking with anyone or waiting. But sometimes I apply online on the USPS website for home pickup, but I don't think I can just leave it in my home mailbox. I hope this makes sense! :)
I just choose a large package, it doesn't really matter, they just care about the weight if it's less than a pound. If it's over I believe they also care about the measurements. :)
Okay so I'm a little confused when it comes to shipping options on the depop listing itself when I'm choosing "My own Shipping". If I'm going to be printing a label using PayPal, do I pick "Free Shipping" or do I put a shipping price? I'm really bad at figuring out how to word this, so I'm sorry lol. But let's say the buyer would pay $20.00 total with free shipping for an item. And then depop would take the $1.20 fee or whatever. So if I picked free shipping and then printed a label using PayPal, would the shipping cost be taken out of the $20.00 total? Or do I just need to put a shipping price before the item is sold? Sorry if this is confusing, I'm really bad with wording lol.
Hi! No I totally understand what you’re saying. I personally don’t say free shipping, I put an actual price and in my description I’ll say how much the shipping is(and this depends on the weight, I usually can guess around how much is needed based on the type of item I’m selling). So an item will be $20, and I say the shipping is $5. So I receive $25 minus the Depop fee in my PayPal. Than I use that extra money received for shipping to pay for shipping on PayPal. I hope this helps!
I cant print my shipping lable out because I dont have a printer so can I just write there address on some paper and ship it out I accidentally used hermes/depop shipping
wait soo ,, i just started depop. okay so the shipping label being sent through either paypal or depop whichever i choose .. i print it and stick on my package. after that do i take it to the post office .. or do i put it in the mail .. or do i put it in that blue bin (the ones that be in neighborhoods or in front of stores yk) like what do i do with . if i go to the po do i say i already payed for shipping ? and they just take it ? what if i go without a shipping label ? will they create one for me ?
so basically we’re only just paying for the shipping label through paypal depop or the po ... and so when we put that label on we good to go ? because that’s the only only thing i see us paying for since we would already have the package to put our item in
also when shopping through depop can’t u just lie and put the cheapest shipping item since they don’t really kno the size of your package .. or does that matter
@@eriyelfisher9298 I could be wrong about this so don’t take my word for it, but I imagine that the postal service is going to weigh your package again once they get it; so if you’ve lied to Depop/PayPal and got a cheaper shipping label, I think the *actual* cost associated with your product will end up being charged to the person you’re shipping to. Ultimately, I don’t encourage it ‘cos you’re putting your account at risk of being banned I imagine-and you or your customers at risk of additional fees.
HI! So I'm not sure if this exactly answering your questions, but basically, if you do shipping through Paypal, you get the shipping label ready to be printed out and taped to the package. At this point, the shipping has already been paid for so you just have to drop it off at your local post office or apply for at-home pick up online. I personally just drop off the package. It's the same with paying for shipping through depop. If you lie about the weight of your package with your shipping label, the package just won't be shipped. So you have to make sure the shipping label is correct about the weight of the package. I hope this helps!
@@itsandreac2393 so would I just drop off the package at the post office? What am I meant to ask for/say to the person at the post office?, I thought I had to pay separately for eg. First class shipping, First class tracked etc. Even though the buyer has already payed for the shipping label
So I’ve been selling on depop for about 2 1/2 months and I’ve been up and down with shipping I feel like I’m not making any profit when it comes down to shipping but I recently moved over to getting my shipping labels on pirate ship and paying way cheaper what can I do to still make a profit but not digging so much into my own money for shipping labels if I was to make my own shipping with these make shipping labels more cheaper. I want in my shop to be really convenient and cheap but I feel like that’s the main reason I’m not making a profit is there any advice you can give for my situation.
Hi! Shipping can be quite confusing and challenging when it comes to profit. I haven’t tried many different methods outside of shipping with Depop or using PayPal(which I believe is cheaper). I always just make sure that the shipping price I provide for each item I sell is sufficient enough to cover the costs of shipping, so that I don’t lose money and have even some left over just incase. I hope this helps, good luck on your shop!
I’m not sure if you mean like you chose the wrong package size so the shipping was wrong but I did that on my first sale and I just gave them a refund and fixed the listing and then had them rebuy it:) hope this is helpful!
Yes it does, but PayPal shows more on the website, not on the PayPal app on your phone if that makes sense, that’s why I do all the shipping from my computer! :)
Hi! Once you print out the shipping label and stick it onto the package, you can just drop off the package inside the office or do pick up delivery! :)
I’ve gone through so many videos about shipping and I can’t find anything about where to find the tracking number!!! I really need a tracking number to contact Hermes because the courier collect guy hasn’t come back for a week since I sold an item and I can’t find a tracking number anywhere!!! Pls help. So I sold an item a week ago, packaged it up and printed the shipping label and put it on the porch. I clicked on courier collect by Hermes as shipping option. Very confused as I also clicked buyer pays for shipping but it still charged me 3.50 for one item in shipping so?.. also need help to know what to do and how the buyer pays for shipping and it doesn’t come from my account. Anyway, the courier collect guy came to collect the parcel the day after i sold it but I wasn’t reAdy and he said he’d be back the next day. So i put it out ready for collection and he’s not been back and I can’t contact Hermes without having a tracking number and I can’t find it!!!
Hey! I’m so sorry about that, I find my tracking number by going on the PayPal app and and than click on the transaction where I payed for shipping than copy and paste the tracking number. If you don’t use PayPal and you physically go to a place like the post office, after paying for shipping the tracking number should be on the paper receipt. I hope this helps!
Hello! I know this is a dumb question, but I'm feeling lost right now...I'm a new depop seller, and did my first sales using the shipping with depop option, but, it wasn't working, because my verified thing keeps disappearing... It turns out that my bank account don't work with PayPal, it is not supported by PayPal, so I'm not able to sell using the depop shipping label, because I can't be verify, since my bank account doesn't work :( Do you know if to arrange my own shipping, do I need to be verify on paypal? do I need to have my bank information? :( or I don't need that to arrange my own shipping?
Hi! I’m sorry you’re in that situation. I use PayPal to do arrange my own shipping, that’s how I receive money and do the shipping. I know Depop has this new method where it doesn’t require you to use PayPal, so try to seek that option. Try to email Depop to ask what to do if you can’t use PayPal. I hope you figure things out!
hey! i just sold my first item and did shipping with paypal. I underestimated the shipping (came up to $8 and buyer paid $ 4) so i paid the difference. But i’m confused because it took the money out of my bank account but then it sent it to my paypal so now i can open up a paypal cash account or send it to my bank account. But like would that end up not paying the shipping? i’m just confused why the shipping money got sent back to my paypal. I started off with a balance of zero when i started the whole process
Hey! Hmm this is a situation I’ve never dealt with, I believe if PayPal and your bank account are linked sometimes when paying for shipping your PayPal might choose different places for how to pay, either from your credit card, bank, or PayPal balance. I’m not exactly sure why they paid you back, I would definitely email PayPal about it if it happens again!
I am selling jewelry and i want to package using envelopes but i want to use stamps and write the address instead of printing out labels. If i choose my own shipping will it give me the shipping information with out making me print a label?
Do you have to buy the flat rate envelopes from the post office? And do you need a business pay pal account to use it for shipping or can you use a personal account?
Hi! Flat rate envelopes are free, you just pay for the shipping. I believe you should be able to use a personal account, but I would look it up on Paypal's website to make sure!
@@itsandreac2393 thank you so much babes ! Last question... is it possible to add more then one quantity of an item that’s the same on Depop? Unrelated but just wanted to know from someone who actually already flowing on Depop.
Hi! I have a question. So I bought a vinyl from a person on Depop but the person is new and it is their first time selling. I spent $76 total (I know, it’s rare LOL) so the person asked me on why they took $13.00 instead of $7.00 since it’s 10% due to Depop fee? I’m also confused and need help lol thanks!
Hi!! They might have taken $13 because of the shipping price, but if the $76 is included with the shipping, the math doesn’t add up. If they use PayPal business, PayPal also takes a small percentage, but only around 3%. I’m not sure where the couple of extra dollars are coming from, try to contact Depop about that. I hope everything works out!! :)
Hey I think it's late but really want to ask about what I should do if I want to ship by my own, through postal, not through paypal shipping or of I use paypal shipping i will drop it in paypal location near my place, right? Thank you so much and sorry if my word confusing you cause I don't know how to explain my situation
Hi! If you don’t want to do shipping through PayPal than you can just go to the post office, pay, and ship it off there. If you use PayPal all you have to do is tape the shipping label on the package from PayPal and drop it off at the post office. Hope this helps!
What estimate would you put for something heavier like say a sweater or a cardigan? I’m thinking of pricing shirts/blouses at $3 for shipping through arranging my own. I’ve heard it’s cheaper to ship stuff over 1lb with Depop because of flat rate fees? Also will using a padded poly mailer, like to ship stuff first class (small tops or blouses) affect the estimated price for the weight? Would you recommend using the unpadded ones? I’m just scared the package might get damaged along the way and don’t want it to affect the feedback the buyer will leave.
Hi thanks for messaging me!! So with sweaters, I would price them at at least $5 if it’s less than one pound. However, if it’s over a pound, I recommend going for a flat rate padded bag which would be about $7-8, cuz with shipping with Depop things that are over a pound costs more than $10. Also for small items like shirts, going for an un padded bag in my opinion is totally fine, just make sure you’re folding the item well and making sure it’s packaged tightly enough.
so when I arrange my own shipping will whatever price I put go to me? Like the product price + shipping price? also what if I sell pants and I only have a box to put it in? I still put priority mail & price it $7.75? Thanks for the vid btw!
To your first question, yes! To your second question, if you’re not using a flat rate envelope, than the shipping cost might vary. With priority mail it can be a little tricky and expensive, that’s why I always go for the flat rate envelopes. If you’re just using a box you can still put $7.75, but that might not be the exact cost for your box/package if that makes sense. Hopefully this helped!! :)
@@itsandreac2393 i don't have a printer so if i wanna go to the post office how do they know which shipping label to use? like do i show them from my phone?
do you print the buyers address on palpay ?or do go somewhere and print it or do you need a printer ? Also Instead of buying a scalar can I use a regular one for example two Way ppl ? Thanks for reading :)
Hi! Once you pay for shipping on PayPal there should be an option to print, and you would print out the label with your own printer or wherever you can find a printer. I use my scaler just to make it easier for me by knowing the exact weight, but u don’t exactly need one, you could even estimate using a body weight scale.
@@itsandreac2393 thanks for replying I also have another question 😁 since I’m going to be shipping on Depop I’m going to have my buyer ppay shipping for it . But I wanna know this thing so once the shipping has been paid for and i package my buyers closing up and I put it into a poly Mailer , I don’t have a printer at the moment but I was researching and I heard I can buy shipment sticker labels and I put my Depop @ on there and the buyers address would that still work to ship out the order?
Hiiii, do you have any tips for cheaper shipping post? I sell jewelry and shipping is so expensive:( idk of ppl gonna buy my stuff because of the shipping yk
Hi! The cheapest way I can think of is doing your own shipping through Paypal and using a small poly mailer bag, shipping jewelry usually costs me about $3.50. I hope this helps!
Hi! So I used a small package that gets sent to the actual post office. I tried sending it in a letter form with stamps but it was just too many stamps lol.
will you still have a shipping label on depop if you choose to do your own shipping? or in other words when you choose to do your own shipping will depop still show you the shipping label
Hi! So no, Depop doesn’t send a shipping label if you do your own shipping. You get a shipping label through paying for shipping on PayPal, and than you can print it out. I hope this helps! :)
2:00 difference btwn shipping with depop vs. your own shipping. 5:00 how to ship with PayPal Follow my depop @sxnlla or @shopseni if depop ever lets me change it. I follow back 💚💛❤️
i had someone purchase a shirt from me on one paypal account but had to switch it over to a new one because my shipping label never came up to print and now its saying i have no payments even tho i discontinued my first paypal acc and attatched my new one, AND my shipping label STILL isnt there...its stuck on the steps page. any advice? im so stuck :(
malia cathleen Dang that really sucks, I’m sorry you’re experiencing that. I have a question, so did you already pay for their shipping? So your problem is just bringing up the shipping label to print right? Because in that case you should have the tracking number available to you. You should ask someone from the post office or try to contact PayPal to ask about where the shipping label is cuz you already payed, and you shouldn’t have that problem unless it’s a computer problem.
itsandreac i was selling the item so the shipping and shirt was paid for, but when i went to go print the paper to stick on the package , cause i ship from home, it was stuck on the steps page abt how to confirm paypal and i did all the steps and it was still stuck 72 hours after
Hi! So if you press edit on a specific item you can change the delivery type to selling with Depop. You can choose which items you want on your shop to be ship with Depop or your own delivery if that makes sense! :)
@@justineangers6178 No problem, but when you edit an item and scroll down their should be "DELIVERY" and than under domestic shipping there's either a choice to choose ship with depop or arrange my own shipping. :)
Hi! If you estimate the wrong amount, you’re going to have to pay extra to whatever amount you missed. And if you put free shipping, you can definitely add the shipping amount to the total cost of the item. Let’s say you want to sell an item for $20, you can put $25 so it can cover the cost of shipping if that makes sense. Whatever amount you put, you’re going to have to pay for shipping anyways(for free shipping), so it’s good to be wise with the pricing of your item. I hope this helps! :)
@@itsandreac2393 so is there any way to estimate the shipping better because i want to ship on my own but also i don’t want to have to pay extra if i do estimate wrong. Also if i do shipping on my own can i put the shipping cost as what it costs to ship to the furthest state?
@@palomasalcido50 Over time you’ll be a better guesser for how much to put for shipping when it comes to different types of items(like for tshirts, I regularly put $5), but if you don’t ever want to guess, you can always use flat rate packaging from the post office. And yes I believe so, you can put the price for the farthest state so you’re safer. I actually do that myself! :)
If you’re shipping through PayPal, than once you pay for shipping you can print out a label and tape it onto the package. If you’re shipping through Depop they will email you a label to print out. I hope this helps! :)
@@maryshagreen960 I believe the package won’t get shipped. You can always go in person to the post office to get it shipped out, but that’s just a lot of time and work in my opinion.
Evie S Hi! So no matter what way you chose to ship, Depop will send an email about the order, however if you chose “shipping with Depop”, you’ll also get an email with a shipping label ready to be printed out. If you didn’t get that email, you probably chose “arrange my own shipping,” so you’ll have to check your PayPal and ship through there or go to the post office to weigh and ship your item. I hope this helped!! :)
hi! i just sold my first item and i arranged my own shipping but i’m not sure if i should ship yet. the payment went to my paypal but it says the payment is pending (but i need that money to ship the item) will i be able to withdrawal the money from paypal before i have to ship the item? bc right now i can’t withdrawal money from paypal bc it’s still pending. thank you so much!
Hi! I would wait for the pending to change to complete so there won't be any issues, however, the pending shouldn't last long. I would wait like 24 hours, and if it is still pending then I would email Depop and Paypal about this specific situation because there might be some sort of other issue involved with the transaction. I hope things work out with your order! :)
I have a question, let’s say I sell a shirt for $15 and I arrange my own shipping of $4.75 (buyer pays), how much money will Depop take away and Is there any extra fees?
Hi! I believe Depop would take $1.96(10%), and if you use PayPal and you have a business account I believe they take 2.9% as well. I hope this helped! :)
nopalitaa Thank you! :) I don’t know much about boxes because they tend to be more expensive than poly mailers. I have a medium flat rate box which has a set price of like $13, but other than a flat rate box I’m not exactly sure. You should definitely go to the post office if you can to ask for more info! Sorry I couldn’t really answer your question 😂
@@itsandreac2393 thank you so much!🥺 one last thing, the tracking would be on paypal correct? like i don't have to interact w anyone at the post office?
one question, I have printed out the shipping label and it doesn’t have a QR code or square type code on the top right, is that okay and what does it mean?
Hmmm, I don't think that is supposed to happen, if you printed out your shipping label with Depop, you should email them about it. I know that Paypal has the square type code. I hope you figure things out!
iiMxsty hey! Depop takes a percentage of each sale you make, I believe 10%. And on top of that with shipping, so I guess that’s why! I hope this helped :)
@@mxsty6290 when i do my own shipping through PayPal, depop wouldn't take that shipping fee, but depop still takes 10% of that sale regardless if that makes sense.😂
@@mxsty6290If the .75 cents is the 10% than I believe so, here's a link to a page that goes more in detail! :) depophelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360001791127-Depop-fees-Why-have-I-been-charged-
is there any way i can ship it without using my address from my house? I’ve been trying to figure this out because I reallyyyy want to start a depop business and i’m prepared for it I just know my parents would not let me if it shows my address and it would also make me uncomfortable if my address was on the package. 😟
Hey! I totally feel you, when I started I was skeptical putting my address on the package, I talked to my parents about it, we actually have a PO Box address, so that’s what I used instead. If it’s possible, try to get a PO Box so you don’t have to put your actual address. I hope this helps, good luck on your shop! :)
Hi! I would wait for the payment to be completed, however if you have additional money in your account that you can use for shipping that I believe you can ship right after. However, I’ve personally never shipped anything when the payment was still pending so just be careful! I hope this helped :)
Hey! Technically yes, I have to have a printer to print out the shipping labels, however I don’t use stickers I just print out the paper and use clear tape! :)
Ik i'm late but i recently sold some filas disruptors for 55$ (which includes the 10$ shipping) but when i went to ship her item at the post office i ended u paying 21$ for the shipping label and the box. Do you think i should've increased the shipping price if i had known i had known i was going to be the one basically paying for the buyer shipping? Also with all the depop fees how much money am i actually going to get back? With this being my first sale PayPal put my money on temporary hold, is there anyway i can remove this or i have to wait the 21 days. Thank you if you read all of this
Hi! With shoes it can get tricky, the weight of the shoes are a lot heavier than clothing so I would def raise the price a bit for shipping. Possibly from $10 to $15-$20 depending on where it’s going and what type of packaging you’re using. Depop takes 10% of the total price of what you get keep in mind. With PayPal, you might have to wait on that or contact PayPal yourself. I would highly suggest getting a business PayPal account as well, this might make things easier. I hope this helps!
I believe it will come out of the card you linked for the account, it used to be my PayPal but for some reason there was a switch so that’s what I think! :)
i know this comment is really late but i just started selling on depop and depop has been taking 3-4 dollars on my $15-18 items. my shipping is usually between $3.50 to $4.85 depending on the item. anyways i recently sold a $15 item with $3.50 shipping and i received only $15 because they took $3 so i’m confused on why i’m even setting a shipping price when they take that money and i have to pay for it? i thought the shipping money was so i could pay for my shipping but it feels like they’re just taking my money i need for shipping :/
I think it might be because of payment fee that is charged on top of the shipping price and other taxes that were taken off

Anyway, the courier collect guy came to collect the parcel the day after i sold it but I wasn’t reAdy and he said he’d be back the next day. So i put it out ready for collection and he’s not been back and I can’t contact Hermes without having a tracking number and I can’t find it!!!
Hey! I’m so sorry about that, I find my tracking number by going on the PayPal app and and than click on the transaction where I payed for shipping than copy and paste the tracking number. If you don’t use PayPal and you physically go to a place like the post office, after paying for shipping the tracking number should be on the paper receipt. I hope this helps!
Can you arrange a pick up from the post office if you're unable to go there directly and ship it there?
yes
Hi! Yes you can :)
Hello! I know this is a dumb question, but I'm feeling lost right now...I'm a new depop seller, and did my first sales using the shipping with depop option, but, it wasn't working, because my verified thing keeps disappearing... It turns out that my bank account don't work with PayPal, it is not supported by PayPal, so I'm not able to sell using the depop shipping label, because I can't be verify, since my bank account doesn't work :(
Do you know if to arrange my own shipping, do I need to be verify on paypal? do I need to have my bank information? :( or I don't need that to arrange my own shipping?
Hi! I’m sorry you’re in that situation. I use PayPal to do arrange my own shipping, that’s how I receive money and do the shipping. I know Depop has this new method where it doesn’t require you to use PayPal, so try to seek that option. Try to email Depop to ask what to do if you can’t use PayPal. I hope you figure things out!
hey! i just sold my first item and did shipping with paypal. I underestimated the shipping (came up to $8 and buyer paid $ 4) so i paid the difference. But i’m confused because it took the money out of my bank account but then it sent it to my paypal so now i can open up a paypal cash account or send it to my bank account. But like would that end up not paying the shipping? i’m just confused why the shipping money got sent back to my paypal. I started off with a balance of zero when i started the whole process
Hey! Hmm this is a situation I’ve never dealt with, I believe if PayPal and your bank account are linked sometimes when paying for shipping your PayPal might choose different places for how to pay, either from your credit card, bank, or PayPal balance. I’m not exactly sure why they paid you back, I would definitely email PayPal about it if it happens again!
I am selling jewelry and i want to package using envelopes but i want to use stamps and write the address instead of printing out labels. If i choose my own shipping will it give me the shipping information with out making me print a label?
hi! I believe you should be able to see shipping info once you sold an item, before potentially using a shipping label. hope this helps :)
Thank you for this video my daugter just started selling on depop💝💖
Do you have to buy the flat rate envelopes from the post office? And do you need a business pay pal account to use it for shipping or can you use a personal account?
Hi! Flat rate envelopes are free, you just pay for the shipping. I believe you should be able to use a personal account, but I would look it up on Paypal's website to make sure!
Could i write the shipping labels if i have no printer?
Hi! If you’re going to the post office to do the whole shipping process, writing it out works! However if you’re using PayPal you need a printer.
What type of laptop do you have I’m just trying to buy a cheap one so I can start doing shipping this way!
Hey! I have a MacBook Air, however any computer can work as long as you can connect to paypal.com and your computer can connect to a printer. :)
@@itsandreac2393 thank you so much babes ! Last question... is it possible to add more then one quantity of an item that’s the same on Depop? Unrelated but just wanted to know from someone who actually already flowing on Depop.
@@Lanadelreyfada yea ofc, and yes you can increase the quantity of one item! :)
Hi! I have a question. So I bought a vinyl from a person on Depop but the person is new and it is their first time selling. I spent $76 total (I know, it’s rare LOL) so the person asked me on why they took $13.00 instead of $7.00 since it’s 10% due to Depop fee? I’m also confused and need help lol thanks!
Hi!! They might have taken $13 because of the shipping price, but if the $76 is included with the shipping, the math doesn’t add up. If they use PayPal business, PayPal also takes a small percentage, but only around 3%. I’m not sure where the couple of extra dollars are coming from, try to contact Depop about that. I hope everything works out!! :)
Hey I think it's late but really want to ask about what I should do if I want to ship by my own, through postal, not through paypal shipping or of I use paypal shipping i will drop it in paypal location near my place, right? Thank you so much and sorry if my word confusing you cause I don't know how to explain my situation
Hi! If you don’t want to do shipping through PayPal than you can just go to the post office, pay, and ship it off there. If you use PayPal all you have to do is tape the shipping label on the package from PayPal and drop it off at the post office. Hope this helps!
What estimate would you put for something heavier like say a sweater or a cardigan? I’m thinking of pricing shirts/blouses at $3 for shipping through arranging my own. I’ve heard it’s cheaper to ship stuff over 1lb with Depop because of flat rate fees? Also will using a padded poly mailer, like to ship stuff first class (small tops or blouses) affect the estimated price for the weight? Would you recommend using the unpadded ones? I’m just scared the package might get damaged along the way and don’t want it to affect the feedback the buyer will leave.
Hi thanks for messaging me!! So with sweaters, I would price them at at least $5 if it’s less than one pound. However, if it’s over a pound, I recommend going for a flat rate padded bag which would be about $7-8, cuz with shipping with Depop things that are over a pound costs more than $10. Also for small items like shirts, going for an un padded bag in my opinion is totally fine, just make sure you’re folding the item well and making sure it’s packaged tightly enough.
so when I arrange my own shipping will whatever price I put go to me? Like the product price + shipping price?
also what if I sell pants and I only have a box to put it in? I still put priority mail & price it $7.75? Thanks for the vid btw!
To your first question, yes! To your second question, if you’re not using a flat rate envelope, than the shipping cost might vary. With priority mail it can be a little tricky and expensive, that’s why I always go for the flat rate envelopes. If you’re just using a box you can still put $7.75, but that might not be the exact cost for your box/package if that makes sense. Hopefully this helped!! :)
hi i recently sold on depop and i shipped out the item and the buyer recieved it but my money is still
pending have any idea what’s going on ?
It takes a few days to go through. The buyer may need to confirm that they got the item
So helpful omg thank you girl just a question .. when I go to the post office does my package need a stamp?
No it doesn’t if it has a shipping label it won’t buy if it is an envelope it will need one
Aw, thank you! if you're going in with a shipping label already on the package no, if not you can get one there!
@@itsandreac2393 i don't have a printer so if i wanna go to the post office how do they know which shipping label to use? like do i show them from my phone?
do you print the buyers address on palpay ?or do go somewhere and print it or do you need a printer ? Also Instead of buying a scalar can I use a regular one for example two Way ppl ? Thanks for reading :)
Hi! Once you pay for shipping on PayPal there should be an option to print, and you would print out the label with your own printer or wherever you can find a printer. I use my scaler just to make it easier for me by knowing the exact weight, but u don’t exactly need one, you could even estimate using a body weight scale.
@@itsandreac2393 thanks for replying I also have another question 😁 since I’m going to be shipping on Depop I’m going to have my buyer ppay shipping for it .
But I wanna know this thing so once the shipping has been paid for and i package my buyers closing up and I put it into a poly Mailer , I don’t have a printer at the moment but I was researching and I heard I can buy shipment sticker labels and I put my Depop @ on there and the buyers address would that still work to ship out the order?
Hiiii, do you have any tips for cheaper shipping post? I sell jewelry and shipping is so expensive:( idk of ppl gonna buy my stuff because of the shipping yk
Hi! The cheapest way I can think of is doing your own shipping through Paypal and using a small poly mailer bag, shipping jewelry usually costs me about $3.50. I hope this helps!
do u post ur necklaces in a letter box ur through the actual post office? do u have to by a stamp?
Hi! So I used a small package that gets sent to the actual post office. I tried sending it in a letter form with stamps but it was just too many stamps lol.
@@itsandreac2393 ohhh ok thank u so much :))
will you still have a shipping label on depop if you choose to do your own shipping? or in other words when you choose to do your own shipping will depop still show you the shipping label
Hi! So no, Depop doesn’t send a shipping label if you do your own shipping. You get a shipping label through paying for shipping on PayPal, and than you can print it out. I hope this helps! :)
2:00 difference btwn shipping with depop vs. your own shipping. 5:00 how to ship with PayPal Follow my depop @sxnlla or @shopseni if depop ever lets me change it. I follow back 💚💛❤️
i had someone purchase a shirt from me on one paypal account but had to switch it over to a new one because my shipping label never came up to print and now its saying i have no payments even tho i discontinued my first paypal acc and attatched my new one, AND my shipping label STILL isnt there...its stuck on the steps page. any advice? im so stuck :(
malia cathleen Dang that really sucks, I’m sorry you’re experiencing that. I have a question, so did you already pay for their shipping? So your problem is just bringing up the shipping label to print right? Because in that case you should have the tracking number available to you. You should ask someone from the post office or try to contact PayPal to ask about where the shipping label is cuz you already payed, and you shouldn’t have that problem unless it’s a computer problem.
itsandreac i was selling the item so the shipping and shirt was paid for, but when i went to go print the paper to stick on the package , cause i ship from home, it was stuck on the steps page abt how to confirm paypal and i did all the steps and it was still stuck 72 hours after
malia cathleen Really?? Wow that’s annoying I would try to contact PayPal if possible. I’m sorry I couldn’t help, I hope you figure things out! :)
itsandreac thats totally ok! worth a try haha :) thank u sm!!
Hey I wanna know how do I switch to my own shipping to selling with depop ?
Hi! So if you press edit on a specific item you can change the delivery type to selling with Depop. You can choose which items you want on your shop to be ship with Depop or your own delivery if that makes sense! :)
itsandreac Thank you so much but Idk why I can not find it!?
itsandreac can I have your insta so I can show you what it says?
@@justineangers6178 No problem, but when you edit an item and scroll down their should be "DELIVERY" and than under domestic shipping there's either a choice to choose ship with depop or arrange my own shipping. :)
Do we have to have a business PayPal to print my shipping label?
I could be wrong but I believe you do need a business PayPal account! :)
hey what happens if i estimate the wrong amount for the shipping? Also cant I just put free shipping and add the shipping amount to the actual item?
Hi! If you estimate the wrong amount, you’re going to have to pay extra to whatever amount you missed. And if you put free shipping, you can definitely add the shipping amount to the total cost of the item. Let’s say you want to sell an item for $20, you can put $25 so it can cover the cost of shipping if that makes sense. Whatever amount you put, you’re going to have to pay for shipping anyways(for free shipping), so it’s good to be wise with the pricing of your item. I hope this helps! :)
@@itsandreac2393 so is there any way to estimate the shipping better because i want to ship on my own but also i don’t want to have to pay extra if i do estimate wrong. Also if i do shipping on my own can i put the shipping cost as what it costs to ship to the furthest state?
@@palomasalcido50 Over time you’ll be a better guesser for how much to put for shipping when it comes to different types of items(like for tshirts, I regularly put $5), but if you don’t ever want to guess, you can always use flat rate packaging from the post office. And yes I believe so, you can put the price for the farthest state so you’re safer. I actually do that myself! :)
Okay ignore my prof pic from literally 5 years ago but hiw do I get the shipping label. Like do I print it? Does PayPal make one for me to print?
If you’re shipping through PayPal, than once you pay for shipping you can print out a label and tape it onto the package. If you’re shipping through Depop they will email you a label to print out. I hope this helps! :)
@@itsandreac2393 yes it does thank you
@@itsandreac2393 what happens if you forget to put the label on the package ?
@@maryshagreen960 I believe the package won’t get shipped. You can always go in person to the post office to get it shipped out, but that’s just a lot of time and work in my opinion.
Is it cheaper to use depops shipping or My own shipping because I see they charge to use their shipping label
Hey! So in my opinion as a seller, doing my own shipping is overall cheaper, which is more encouraging for the buyer. :)
I really need help! I sold something today but I don’t know what shipping I chose please help
Evie S Hi! So no matter what way you chose to ship, Depop will send an email about the order, however if you chose “shipping with Depop”, you’ll also get an email with a shipping label ready to be printed out. If you didn’t get that email, you probably chose “arrange my own shipping,” so you’ll have to check your PayPal and ship through there or go to the post office to weigh and ship your item. I hope this helped!! :)
itsandreac okay thank you so much 💕
hi! i just sold my first item and i arranged my own shipping but i’m not sure if i should ship yet. the payment went to my paypal but it says the payment is pending (but i need that money to ship the item) will i be able to withdrawal the money from paypal before i have to ship the item? bc right now i can’t withdrawal money from paypal bc it’s still pending. thank you so much!
Hi! I would wait for the pending to change to complete so there won't be any issues, however, the pending shouldn't last long. I would wait like 24 hours, and if it is still pending then I would email Depop and Paypal about this specific situation because there might be some sort of other issue involved with the transaction. I hope things work out with your order! :)
@@itsandreac2393 thank you so much!
I have a question, let’s say I sell a shirt for $15 and I arrange my own shipping of $4.75 (buyer pays), how much money will Depop take away and Is there any extra fees?
Hi! I believe Depop would take $1.96(10%), and if you use PayPal and you have a business account I believe they take 2.9% as well. I hope this helped! :)
hi i love this video i have a quick question, have you ever sold stuff in a box? if so how much would u estimate shipping to be in boxes
nopalitaa Thank you! :)
I don’t know much about boxes because they tend to be more expensive than poly mailers. I have a medium flat rate box which has a set price of like $13, but other than a flat rate box I’m not exactly sure. You should definitely go to the post office if you can to ask for more info! Sorry I couldn’t really answer your question 😂
hii i wanna start selling on depop but i'm confused, if i pay for shipping on paypal i don't have to pay at the post office when i go drop it off?
Hi! That’s correct, you pay for shipping online on PayPal instead of paying at the post office, all you have to do is drop off the package! :)
@@itsandreac2393 thank you so much!🥺 one last thing, the tracking would be on paypal correct? like i don't have to interact w anyone at the post office?
@@la.princesa correct! once you pay and drop off the package if you go on the Paypal app, you should be able to see the tracking code! :)
Bruh, very informative!
Hi! Can the buyer pay for the shipping
Yup
one question, I have printed out the shipping label and it doesn’t have a QR code or square type code on the top right, is that okay and what does it mean?
Hmmm, I don't think that is supposed to happen, if you printed out your shipping label with Depop, you should email them about it. I know that Paypal has the square type code. I hope you figure things out!
So I do shipping with PayPal 😭on my phone xx
I do shipping on PayPal on my computer :)
So helpful 💕 amazing vid 👌
Hi! Is the shipping labels free on depop?
iiMxsty Hi! The actual shipping labels themselves are free, just not the shipping cost if that makes sense! :)
itsandreac oooo! Which one is cheaper? My own or depop shipping
iiMxsty From my experience, shipping on your own (I do it through PayPal) is cheaper.
itsandreac thank you so much! This really helped :)
Can the buyer pay for the shipping?
Will Depop email me a shipping label if I chose free shipping?
Hi! If you’re shipping with Depop, than I believe so. However, if you’re doing arrange my own shipping than no. :)

Hey girl! So depop is taking away a lot of my money is it because I use depop shipping?
iiMxsty hey! Depop takes a percentage of each sale you make, I believe 10%. And on top of that with shipping, so I guess that’s why! I hope this helped :)
itsandreac ohh! :) so it I use my own shipping they don’t take away shipping fees?
@@mxsty6290 when i do my own shipping through PayPal, depop wouldn't take that shipping fee, but depop still takes 10% of that sale regardless if that makes sense.😂

is there any way i can ship it without using my address from my house? I’ve been trying to figure this out because I reallyyyy want to start a depop business and i’m prepared for it I just know my parents would not let me if it shows my address and it would also make me uncomfortable if my address was on the package. 😟
Hey! I totally feel you, when I started I was skeptical putting my address on the package, I talked to my parents about it, we actually have a PO Box address, so that’s what I used instead. If it’s possible, try to get a PO Box so you don’t have to put your actual address. I hope this helps, good luck on your shop! :)
where do I find the address to ship to? I need help 🥰
pasta slut Are you shipping with Depop or your own shipping?
Thank you for this video it was very informative ,hope you have a good day✨❣️
thanks you too☺️
Do you ship as soon its sold, my paypal says payment pending do i still ship? Or wait til payment is complete?
Hi! I would wait for the payment to be completed, however if you have additional money in your account that you can use for shipping that I believe you can ship right after. However, I’ve personally never shipped anything when the payment was still pending so just be careful! I hope this helped :)
So I have to buy a printer for printing shipping stickers 😪

Ik i'm late but i recently sold some filas disruptors for 55$ (which includes the 10$ shipping) but when i went to ship her item at the post office i ended u paying 21$ for the shipping label and the box. Do you think i should've increased the shipping price if i had known i had known i was going to be the one basically paying for the buyer shipping? Also with all the depop fees how much money am i actually going to get back? With this being my first sale PayPal put my money on temporary hold, is there anyway i can remove this or i have to wait the 21 days. Thank you if you read all of this
Hi! With shoes it can get tricky, the weight of the shoes are a lot heavier than clothing so I would def raise the price a bit for shipping. Possibly from $10 to $15-$20 depending on where it’s going and what type of packaging you’re using. Depop takes 10% of the total price of what you get keep in mind. With PayPal, you might have to wait on that or contact PayPal yourself. I would highly suggest getting a business PayPal account as well, this might make things easier. I hope this helps!
Hi, so if I make it as I pay the shipping price. Does it automatically come out of the PayPal or card that I linked to the account ?
I believe it will come out of the card you linked for the account, it used to be my PayPal but for some reason there was a switch so that’s what I think! :)
