Two closets. Both still generate a prepaid label. That is the unit. Depop Help’s US row still deducts 3.3% + $0.45 via Depop Payments after it prints no selling fee (Depop fees explained). Vinted Help still deposits the sticker in the Wallet — Selling basics: no fees for selling; How it works: you keep 100% of what you earn (Vinted fees explained). Buyer Protection is billed to the person checking out. It is not a keep haircut. So this card is Stripe-on-a-mailed-sale vs a sticker Wallet — not Depop vs OfferUp (2026 local meetup, postage retired) and not Depop vs Facebook Marketplace (Meta local $0 inferred from a missing cell). Empty item-keep is the comparable because Vinted’s published keep is the listed price, and Depop’s 3.3% only swallows postage when that sale actually charged it.
Default: $50 sticker, postage field blank = $0 (item-keep: Wallet keep is the listed price; Depop’s 3.3% follows postage only if you charge it). Tax field blank = $0 — drop a receipt dollar; this is not a 50-state engine. Boost stays off until you toggle it. Vinted bump is receipt-only. Neither Depop’s buyer Marketplace fee nor Vinted Buyer Protection is taken from keep.
Depop leftover = sticker (+ pasted postage) − 3.3% of (sticker + postage + tax) − $0.45 − optional 12% Boost. Vinted leftover = sticker − any bump dollar you paste. US seller help does not print a processing percent to subtract. Buyer Protection and Depop’s Marketplace fee remain buyer checkout lines. Planning math only.
“Free to sell” is a headline, not a payout. Depop’s US table prints no selling fee, then Depop Payments still takes 3.3% + $0.45 on sticker + postage + tax — tax dollars you remit, postage dollars you may never keep. Vinted is not “the other 3.3%.” It is a mailed closet whose US seller pages still send the full selling price to the Wallet. That mailed-plus-full-price pair is why this is not Depop vs OfferUp (2026 posts are local-only; the other rail is a handshake with no postage in the sale) and not Depop vs Facebook Marketplace (Meta documents 10% on shipping checkout and never prints a local $0 cell). Organic $50 gap: $2.10 of Depop processing. A 0-versus-10 closet race lives on Depop vs Mercari. The 10%-versus-sticker mailed pair ($45.00 vs $50.00 empty-ship) is Mercari vs Vinted — not this Stripe $47.90 card.

Depop Help article “Seller fees and charges” (stamp 21 Jul 2026, opened 28 Aug 2026):
“No Depop Selling fees will be charged to sellers based in the UK, US, or AUS.”
The next US row on that table is still 3.3% + $0.45 via Depop Payments (Stripe), applied to item sale price plus shipping costs and any applicable taxes. A blank selling-fee cell is not a blank cost. $50 sticker, postage blank, tax blank:
Same empty postage at $12: 3.3% × $12 rounds to $0.40, plus $0.45 = $0.85 (~7.1 points), leftover $11.15. The Wallet still shows $12 if no bump was pasted. At $12 the story is the flat $0.45, not a rounded “about three percent versus free” caption.
Vinted Help, “Selling basics,” re-opened 28 Aug 2026 (HTTP 200):
“There are no fees for selling on Vinted, and you can list as many items as you like.”
How it works, same fetch:
“There are no selling fees on Vinted. You keep 100% of what you earn.”
“Is selling on Vinted free?” (help/373) says you receive the full selling price straight to your Vinted Wallet once the sale closes. That is the reason this card is not a clone of OfferUp or Facebook Marketplace local. Those two are meetups. Vinted still generates a prepaid label. The keep line is the sticker — not because we inferred $0, but because US seller help prints it.
We still disclose what is not in that sentence: optional Item Bump and Showcase, shown at purchase with no public US percent table. Those are paste-only. Empty = $0. This page will not invent 12%, $0.75, or any other unofficial bump rate.
US Price List, stamped 1 July 2024, re-opened 28 Aug 2026 (HTTP 200):
“The Buyer will be automatically charged a Buyer Protection Fee… A fixed amount of $0.70; plus 5% of the item price agreed to between the Buyer and the Seller, not including the shipping costs, any additional costs and applicable taxes.”
On a $50 item that is $3.20 on the buyer’s checkout. It is shown on this card so you can see what they paid. It is not subtracted from keep. Help/342 (“usually 5% + $0.70,” can vary by item, order value, single vs bundle) is buyer-facing. Official seller pages do not instruct you to haircut the Wallet by that line. Copying $3.20 onto seller keep is how blogs flatten Vinted into Depop’s processing stack. This page will not do that.
UK and EU buyer formulas differ (UK Price List typically 3–8% + £0.3–£0.8; FR/DE typically 5% + €0.70). Seller keep is still described as zero selling fees there. This calculator is the US USD market. Do not paste a UK range onto a $50 Wallet.
Boosted Listings (US/UK) and the seller-fees table footnote (“new listings from 23 March 2026”) both show 12% for US sellers:
You’ll only pay a boosting fee if a buyer interacts with your boosted listing (views, clicks, or likes it) and then purchases the item within 28 days.
That 12% is on item price excluding tax. Postage enters the 12% only if you skipped a Depop Shipping label. The 3.3% + $0.45 still runs under it. Vinted does not publish a matching 12%. Item Bump is an optional in-app price with no public US grid — paste what you paid, or leave blank. Copying 12% onto a $50 Wallet “to even the field” invents a Vinted rate this page will not print.
$50 sticker, postage blank, tax blank, Boost converts, Depop label (postage out of the 12%):
Boost on this pair is that $6.00. The same dollar can invert a live 10% race on Depop vs Mercari. Vinted’s published US seller take is not a 10% race. Treating Boost as a Vinted “win condition” mixes cards.
Both products still mail. That split is the job of this card versus Depop vs OfferUp (a 2026 OfferUp post cannot pick shipping) and versus Depop vs Facebook Marketplace (local is a meetup; Meta’s documented 10% is a separate shipping-checkout product). Blank postage is still the honest unit here, for a reason those meetup cards do not share: Vinted keep is the listed price, and Depop’s 3.3% swallows postage only when that sale charged it.
How it works: “Buyers pay for shipping.” US Price List: shipping costs are borne by the Buyer when the seller provides that option, and they are excluded from the Buyer Protection base. Help/458: when a purchase is made via “Buy now,” the buyer covers the shipping costs. So a $50 Vinted keep does not shrink when the buyer pays a prepaid label. Depop Help still runs 3.3% on item + shipping + tax if you put a postage dollar on the sale. Parking a $7-style Depop label against a $50 Vinted sticker whose postage sits on the buyer is a postage-in-base sale versus a postage-on-buyer sale — two SKUs, not one.
If both sales truly charged postage and you must pick one honest unit, paste both. This card still prefers empty item-keep because that is the published Vinted keep (the sticker) and the Depop processing rule (ship joins only when charged). We will not mint unofficial USPS-style tiers for either app. How to ship - US still showed no public US weight-tier dollar table on 28 Aug 2026. Vinted’s Price List also shows no public US label grid — checkout is the quote.
Custom Vinted shipping is a disclosed exception, not the default: help/458 says the seller pays custom shipping upfront and should bake it into the item price. Paste that dollar as COGS or into the item field you actually listed. Do not invent a custom-shipping percent.
Keep both buyer surcharges out of the seller column. What is the Marketplace fee? is a US/UK buyer checkout add-on: up to 5% of the sticker plus up to $1, tax and postage out. Vinted’s $0.70 + 5% is the same class of line. $50 keep is not “3.3% + $0.45 plus 5% plus $1” on Depop, and it is not “$50 minus $3.20” on Vinted. Folding either buyer surcharge into keep is how roundups fake a gap.
State Sales Tax in the US (Depop) says Depop calculates, collects, and remits as a marketplace facilitator, and that the tax element is included when calculating the Payment Processing fee. Blank tax means $0 unless a receipt dollar exists. This page is not a 50-state engine. Vinted’s Price List excludes tax from the Buyer Protection base; we will not mint a Vinted seller tax %.

Vinted Wallet keeps the $50 if you paste $0 bump. Organic Depop keep is $47.90 after 3.3% + $0.45 on $50 / $0 ship / $0 tax. Boost 12%: Depop $41.90 vs Wallet $50.00. Last checked 28 Aug 2026. Confirm in each account. Buyer Protection ($3.20 on this $50) stays on the buyer.
No. Official Selling basics / How it works / help/373 still send the full selling price to the Wallet (HTTP 200, 28 Aug 2026). US Price List bills $0.70 + 5% of item to the Buyer, excluding shipping. Help/342 is buyer-facing. We will not subtract that line.
Vinted keep is the listed price; buyer-paid prepaid postage does not haircut the Wallet on official US seller help. Depop processing follows shipping only when you charge it. Empty item-keep matches those two published rules. Pasting a Depop label against a buyer-paid Vinted label is two products. Meetup $0 belongs on the OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace cards, not here.
No. It only changes Depop keep ($47.90 → $41.90 on this $50 sticker). The Wallet is still $50 with the printed no-selling-fee sentence and empty bump paste. Boost can flip a 10% race (see Depop vs Mercari). Vinted US is not a 10% race. Do not mill 12% onto the Wallet.
Both of those are processing versus a meetup. OfferUp prints no in-person commission and retired nationwide shipping. Facebook Marketplace local models $0 because Meta never prints a local $0 selling-fee cell. This card is two shipped closets: Stripe on Depop versus a Vinted Wallet that still prints the full selling price. That mailed-vs-mailed unit is this page’s job.
