- Use relevant, specific hashtags — Depop's discovery is heavily tag- and search-driven, and vague or overused tags get buried.
- Post consistently — regularly adding new listings keeps your shop appearing in recent/discovery feeds, which fade quickly if you go quiet.
- Engage actively — following and liking within your niche, and responding to messages quickly, measurably helps visibility.
- Offer bundle discounts for multiple items — it's a common expectation on Depop and encourages bigger orders.
- As of 2024, there's $0 US/UK seller commission — only a standard payment processing fee (~3.3%+$0.45) applies.
