New to Depop? Here’s Why This Listing Contest Matters
If you’ve been thinking about trying Depop, now is the right time to get started.
Depop and List Perfectly are collaborating on a January listing contest designed to support new Depop sellers as they launch their shops with intention. This challenge encourages sellers to bring inventory they already have listed on other marketplaces to Depop, while building strong listing habits that help new accounts gain traction.
This guide explains how the Depop Listing Contest works, who qualifies, and what sellers should know to participate the right way.
Who the Depop Listing Contest Is For
This contest is built specifically for new Depop sellers, including:
- List Perfectly users who create a Depop account between January 1 and January 31
- Sellers who want to test Depop using existing inventory and create a Depop account
Note: If you signed up for Depop after November 6, 2025 (the date of our first Depop partnership event), you are eligible to participate as long as you meet the listing requirements below.

Why Consistent Listing Is Critical on Depop
Listing consistently is one of the most important factors in building momentum on Depop, especially for new accounts.
As a baseline, sellers should aim to:
- List at least 10 items per month, every month
- Maintain consistency rather than listing once and stopping
(Listing every day is better than a drop schedule)
For sellers with more inventory available:
If you have the stock to list 50 or more items per month, you should aim to do so. Listing at this level is required to work toward qualifying for Depop’s Top Seller Program. This contest is a great opportunity to begin developing these habits early.
Adjust Your Pricing for Depop’s No Selling Fee Model
Depop does not charge a traditional platform or selling commission fee like many other marketplaces. Because of this, pricing strategy matters when crosslisting items from platforms that do include seller fees.
When listing on Depop:
- Remove any selling fees you may have baked into your pricing elsewhere
- Reducing prices by 15–20% is a strong baseline when crosslisting
- Depop applies a transaction fee of 3.3% + $0.45 per sale in the US
- Buyers pay an additional 5% buyer fee on the price of the item at checkout
Failing to adjust pricing can cause items to appear overpriced compared to similar listings, which may slow traction for new sellers.

Focus on Clothing and Accessories First
Depop is primarily a fashion marketplace, and clothing and accessories consistently perform best.
To give your account the strongest start:
- Prioritize listing clothing and accessory items
- Use inventory you already have listed on other marketplaces
- Ensure accurate sizing, clear photos, and competitive pricing

Depop Is a Strong Marketplace
Depop is a strong marketplace on its own, with resellers building full-time, part-time, and hobby-based businesses, including six- and seven-figure businesses selling exclusively on Depop. For resellers who want to expand even further, listing the same inventory across different marketplaces helps reach different audiences and find market fit faster for each item. When more items reach the right buyers more quickly, sell-through increases and returns decrease. Depop understands that reseller growth drives marketplace growth, which is why supporting resellers correctly is core to the platform.
