DEPOP SHIPPING VS SHIPPING ON YOUR OWN

[@StephanieVargas]

Which one do you prefer???

[@hannahbrea]

I used to use Depop shipping but now I use Paypal Shipping! When a payment comes through on Paypal I just have to click on the transaction, click print shipping label, type in the weight, and then buy the label. I have found that is ends up being less expensive most of the time. For heavier items I use USPS flat rate bubble mailers, which is only about 8 dollars! I love your videos! You are so comfortable and natural on camera.

Hello I’m selling for the first time on Depop and I’m confused so when I ship with Depop and print the label and stick it on am I able to just put the package in my mail box for them to pick up and bring it to the post office or whatever or do I have to bring it to a place and I’m using usps I think

I am a new seller so i chose ship by myself how can i switch to depop shipping???

[@Jem9798]

Hi. I have a question…Depop charges you 10% plus shipping, PayPal also charges you…if you sell something for $10 how much, roughly, are you making..? Thank you for your time and please excuse my ignorance, I’m new to this.

[@Ivyestilloree]

Yes I’m confused about this too hopefully she can answer this

[@dazzle5628]

I think I read somewhere recent on here that if you have the label or something on Depop and then get the label on PayPal or something you’re basically paying extra?? Idk if this helps but I tried lol

[@sysavannh]

literally you’re amazing!!!

[@StephanieVargas]

😭😭😭 haha thank you 🤍

[@laurensotez4365]

Im a little confused at my charges on depop when I ship.. On paypal, the buyer send me a payment that includes the item price + shipping. Then depop limited charges me the 10% of the item + what the buyer paid for shipping. But then when I set up the shipping label on paypal after putting in the weight and stuff, I pay for shipping? So essentially the buyer pays me for shipping costs but then depop just takes that money away?

[@StephanieVargas]

If you ship with depop they send you the shipping label you dont have to make one on pay pal . If you ship on your one you have to put that when listing an item

I struggle with this too

[@PrettyGris]

Ok I enjoy these videos they help on trying to get some money on the side selling ok So i sold a $5 item and did the math which was taken 10% also 4.75 the shipping & 2.9% and 0.30% and i should of had 9.35 right ? But on my paypal it says “ depo limited -5.25 and the person send +4.55 im confused ?? So I technically only get the same amount i sold it for right ? And they took 0.70 cents from my bank account .

[@athenasmith63]

Hi I have a question! Ok so I recently sold something for 15$ and it charged the buyer 11$ for shipping but it only gave me 13$. I got the label and stuff through Depop but I thought it would give me the 11$ that it charged the buyer for shipping so that I could package and ship the item? If I were to chose the “other” option for shipping, would it give me the 11$ so I could create the shipping label and package the item on my own?

[@mercedesfridlund3165]

So I just ended up selling a item on depop for $15 And the shipping was $4 so total I got $16 total and then I had to ship the item out to the person and it coast $16 so basically I didn’t really gain any income, so I need some advice because I am new!

[@alanalynncaston]

if you are going to do something like this, always make the price the price you are selling it for plus the shipping cost!! you can type in the description that you ship on your own, and state there is an extra $4 or whatever added to the total for shipping. that way you get the money for the actual item, and with the extra money they pay for the shipping, you use that to pu for shipping

[@jadyn304]

if i use apple pay to buy something off depop and if want a refund will i be able to get a refund if i use apple pay cause im so confused on what payments i should use to start a depop

When you determine shipping by weight does that also include the weight of the box and packaging?

Anything you ship that is 13 ounces or less is $3.49 no more & no less through USPS. Clearly less than Bepop, if that helps.

Where? I don’t think that’s true. Does that have tracking? Because you need a tracking number.

when you ship through depop they send you the label and the buyer pays for shipping

[@VeroNika-gc7mb]

I have a question I can’t find an answer to it, maybe you know… With “My own shipping” you enter the cost and does it mean depop charges buyer that cost and then you buy your own shipping label for those money?

[@franzlove]

yes this is my question too! like where does the extra pay of the shipping cost you set go???? Bec i got paid for the item but not the shipping price. if it goes to depop how does that work if I need that money to buy the label? 😭😭😭

[@marvelousmia]

if you ship on your own with depop payments do you add the tracking to depop after you’ve shipped? also if you ship with depop, and then change your mind and ship on your own can you still add tracking to depop?

[@noceboaffect3187]

1) Yes you add the tracking number manually if you ship by yourself 2) If you change your mind, Depop will still get the money for that label, it’ll already be pre-made, and you’ll have to pay extra for your own shipping so it’s not worth it. If you’re dissatisfied with the shipping you have to refund the entire purchase

They take the cost of the item and shipping so you need to charge accordingly, it’s 10% of the full total with shipping included in that price

[@mss8981]

Hi new subscriber here! Your videos are very informative. Question : what if I choose shipping on my own and choose other couriers like pirate ship, FedEx or etc.. Does depop still take the shipping fee, transfered on my paypal which my buyer paid , if I choose shipping on your own? Or shipping on your own the same with shipping on depop where they will still automatically charge you, like shipping on depop they will charge you 5 dollars (which included to what the buyer paid) then it is taken from your paypal? Or are you getting the whole amount of shipping fee which your buyers paid for if you choose shipping on your own? Or depop still going to charge you a shipping fee when you do shipping on your own I hope you will answer my questions thanks in advance🥺

[@reecehayes7340]

The email is telling me to ship the item first then send the tracking code before I get my money is that normal?

when you ship on your own, does depop send the shipping info to your email??

Yess you can see it in the email or the app itself too!

[@The23brianna23]

When you ship on your own, does the money still get sent to your PayPal like when you ship With depop or is it a different process?

It can be any usps but it has to be usps.

hi! firstly i want to start by saying how much this video helped me like?? thank you so much!! i am planning to ship on my own and i'm confused about one thing and you kind of mentioned it in this video but it was super quick, soo let's say that i charged the shipping 10 dollars, if the shipping costs 7 dollars do i get 3 dollars back to my account? and the same thing with let's say that it costs 13 dollars, depop takes extra 3 dollars from my account right? i think that's how it works but i wanted to make sure, thank you

[@noceboaffect3187]

Depop takes all of the money you designate to shipping so make sure that you have the correct weight, or you may be charged more. Depop doesn’t know the weight of the package all it knows is what type of shipping label to create based on weight class

[@glorysight764]

@@noceboaffect3187 so what you are saying is, depop wont recognize the actual weight of the package, only what option you put, and when putting free shipping, you have to be careful on the weight or else it will charge tou more ?

So who pays for shipping

[@hannahvivienne3988]
