Depop and Poshmark are both popular secondhand fashion apps, but they suit different stock. Depop leans younger and trend-led: vintage, Y2K, streetwear and one-of-a-kind pieces. Poshmark is mainly in the US and suits mall brands, workwear, women's fashion and accessories, with a social "sharing" culture. Fees and shipping are structured differently, so the better app depends on what you sell and where you are. Many sellers use both.
Who shops on each
- Depop: mostly Gen Z and younger millennials, searching by style, trend and aesthetic. Strong in the US, UK and Australia.
- Poshmark: a broad US audience, plus some other markets, often shopping by brand and size.

Fees
Both apps take a cut of each sale, but their fee structures differ and both have changed over time. Check each app's current fee page for your country before setting prices. For Depop's side, see Depop selling fees explained.
Shipping
- Depop: buyers usually pay shipping at checkout, with sizes based on the parcel. See how Depop shipping works for sellers.
- Poshmark: typically uses a prepaid label, often at a flat rate in the US, paid by the buyer.
Payouts
Both release money after the sale clears, and Poshmark usually waits until the buyer accepts the order after delivery. See resale app payout speeds compared.
Selling style
- Depop rewards good photos, trend keywords and fresh listings. See how to reset the Depop algorithm.
- Poshmark rewards sharing, joining "parties" and sending offers to people who like your items.
Should you sell on both?
If your stock suits both, listing in more places means faster sales. The risks are double sales and extra admin. Keep a clear inventory system. See how to track Depop inventory.
Where DepopAutomation fits
DepopAutomation.com is built for Depop and Vinted, not Poshmark. Its AI listing tool fills every Depop field from your photos and uses Nano Banana to improve them, the bulk lister lists whole hauls, cross-listing posts to Vinted too, and the profit tracker shows your real margin per sale. If Depop is your main shop, that's where it saves the most time.
