On Depop, your bag is your shopping cart: the place items go when you tap "Add to bag" before you check out. Depop is also full of shorthand that sellers use in titles and descriptions. Here's what the common terms mean.
Buying terms
- Bag. Your cart. You can add items from several shops, but you check out with each seller separately, and items from the same seller can be bought together as a bundle. See how buyers pay on Depop.
- Offer. A price you suggest below the listed price. The seller can accept, decline or counter.
- Bundle. Buying two or more items from the same seller in one order, usually for a discount and one shipping cost. See how Depop shipping works for bundles.
- Likes and saves. Hearting an item saves it and tells the seller you're interested. Sellers sometimes send offers to people who liked an item.
Condition codes
- BNWT. Brand new with tags.
- BNWOT. Brand new without tags.
- NWT. New with tags.
- VGC. Very good condition.
- GUC. Good used condition.
- EUC. Excellent used condition.
- Deadstock. Old stock that was never sold or worn, often still with tags.
- Distressed. Worn on purpose, or worn in a way that's part of the look. Read the description for what that means for the item you're looking at.
Fit and measurement terms
- P2P (pit to pit). The width across the chest, measured flat from one armpit seam to the other. Double it for the rough chest size.
- Length. Usually measured from the top of the shoulder to the hem.
- Inseam / rise. For trousers: inside leg length, and crotch seam to waistband.
- Fits like / fits size. The seller's guess at the modern size, useful for vintage. See how to measure clothes for Depop listings.
- Oversized / boxy / cropped. How the cut sits on the body, not the size label.
Style terms
- Y2K. Late 90s and early 2000s style. See how to sell Y2K clothing on Depop.
- Vintage. Usually means at least 20 years old, though some sellers use it loosely.
- Grail. A rare piece collectors chase.
- Single stitch. A t-shirt sleeve and hem detail common before the mid-90s, used as a sign a tee is genuinely vintage.
Selling terms
- Bump / refresh / relist. Ways to push a listing back up in search. See Depop relist vs refresh.
- Lowball. An offer far below the asking price. See how to handle lowball offers on Depop.
- ISO (in search of). Used in messages or bios when someone is looking for a specific item.
- NFS / NFT. Not for sale / not for trade, on items shown for style only.
- Ships same day / next day. How quickly the seller posts after a sale.
Write listings buyers understand
Using the right terms helps buyers trust and find your items. DepopAutomation.com's AI listing tool writes titles and descriptions in the language Depop buyers search for, fills in category, brand, colour, condition and style from your photos, and uses Nano Banana to clean up the images. The bulk lister handles a whole haul, relisting brings old items back to the top, cross-listing puts them on Vinted too, and the profit tracker keeps count of what you earn.
