Relisting on Depop · Guide

How to relist on Depop

If a Depop listing has gone quiet, relisting can put it back in front of buyers. Here is how relisting works on Depop, how to do it, what it costs, and when it actually helps.

How to relist What it costs

Why relisting works on Depop

Depop surfaces recent activity — new listings appear at the top of your shop and in buyers' recent browsing, so they get an early burst of views. An unsold item gradually stops being seen. Relisting posts the item again as new, resetting that visibility so a fresh set of buyers can discover it.

How to relist an item on Depop, step by step

Keep the photos and details

Save the title, description, price and photos before you remove anything — you'll reuse them.

Delete the stale listing

Remove the old, low-visibility listing from your shop.

Repost, improved

Create a new listing with the same item, but sharpen the first photo, lead the description with vibe words and hashtags buyers search, and adjust the price if it hasn't moved.

Post when browsing peaks

Publish in the evening or at the weekend when Depop activity is highest, so the fresh listing catches the traffic.

What relisting costs on Depop

Relisting itself is free — you only pay when the item sells. Depop applies a payment-processing fee on the total (a typical rate is around 2.9% + a small fixed fee) and, where it still applies in your region, a selling fee (historically about 10%). Rates differ by country and have changed over time.

So relisting doesn't add cost, but remember the sale fees when you set or lower the price. Work out your net payout with the free Depop fee calculator, which lets you switch the selling fee off if your region no longer charges one.

When to relist — and when not to

Do relist items that have gone quiet after a week or two

Do treat each relist as a chance to improve the photo, title or price

Don't relist constantly — it won't rescue an overpriced or poorly-shot item

Don't forget you lose the item's likes and age when you delete and repost

Relist everywhere, not just Depop

Refreshing one listing on Depop helps; refreshing it across every marketplace you sell on helps more. The friction is doing that by hand — and the risk is a double sale.

Relistly keeps one central inventory with delist-and-relist tools, so you can refresh listings across your connected channels at once, and its auto-delisting removes a sold item everywhere so you never double-sell.
