Can You Send Your Depop Balance to Someone Else?

By Depop Automation Team · October 16, 2026 · 4 min read

No. Depop doesn't have a way to send your balance to another user, a friend or a second account. Your Depop balance can be spent on Depop or transferred to your own linked payout account, and that's it. If you want to give someone money, withdraw it to your bank first and send it from there.

Why you can't send Depop balance to another person

Depop balance is money from your sales held by Depop's payment system until you spend or withdraw it. It isn't a wallet built for payments between people. Allowing transfers between accounts would open the door to scams and money laundering, so payment platforms like this keep the money tied to the person who earned it. See what is Depop Payments and how Depop pays you.

What you can do with your balance instead

Can I move my balance to a new Depop account?

Not directly. If you're switching accounts, withdraw your available balance from the old account to your bank first, and wait for any pending money to clear before you stop using it. If you're closing the old account, see how to delete your Depop account for what to sort out first.

Can a buyer "buy" an item to move money between accounts?

Creating fake listings or fake sales to move money between accounts is against Depop's rules and can get both accounts suspended. It also costs you Depop's fees on the fake sale. Don't do it. If you need to give someone money, withdraw and send it from your bank or a payment app outside Depop.

Can I send my balance to PayPal, Cash App or Apple Pay?

Only through your own payout method. Depop pays out to the method you've linked, in your name. See can you withdraw Depop money to Apple Pay or Cash App and Depop payout methods: PayPal vs bank transfer.

Know what your balance is really worth

Your balance shows what you've been paid, not what you've made. DepopAutomation.com's profit tracker records what each item cost you and what it sold for after fees, so you know how much of that balance is actually profit before you spend or send any of it.

If you want that balance to grow faster, the bulk lister and AI listing tool turn a pile of photos into finished listings, with Google's Nano Banana model cleaning up the images. The relist feature keeps older stock near the top of search, and cross-listing puts your items on Vinted too.
