Great, but can definitely use improvements. – Depop | Buy & Sell Clothing Review

Let me start by saying I am pretty much in love with this app. I use it for selling and buying, and have had success with both. But with all great things there are definitely improvements that can be made. PROS : - I love the way it is formatted, very simplistic and modern. - The users that I have come across have been friendly and compromising. - It is easy to use. - there are a lot of sellers that are selling currently in stock things from department stores. - a lot of vintage clothing/accessories - majority of the sellers reasonably price their items. (Although like always, there are a few people that price things outrageously) - the messaging tool is very easy and nice. - It is wonderful if you want to have a little more control, as it isn't as strict/overbearing as other selling apps. CONS : - I'll be honest there is definitely a highlight on certain users, which is fine for people who are just buying things, but it does make it difficult for new users to make sells. I have been lucky enough to make three cells in two weeks. (Highlighted users can make 20+ sells a month) it would be nice if they would highlight new users with at least a couple five star reviews on the explore page sometimes. I take high quality photos of high quality brands and include thorough descriptions, yet never get featured. - Majority of buyers are looking for one of two things 1: good deals on good brands (topshop, brandy melville, urban outfitters, free people, for love and lemons, Zara) 2: good quality vintage things. Which is an okay thing, but if you are not selling either of these things the sells that are made decrease quite a bit. - you cannot send pictures through the messaging tool. If someone asks you for a try on, you have to make sure it's a good enough photo to upload onto the item listing itself. - you can only upload four pictures per item. (Which wouldn't be too bad if you could send photos through messaging) - I am not sure if this is just something I experience, but sometimes I won't receive the notifications until hours after the actual notification was made. (Ex: someone will send me a message, and it won't pop up until the next day.) - It would be nice if brands would be apart of the filters when searching for things. Or the filter was a little bit more specific. - due to people wanting to be seen, they tend to tag brands that they know people want, on items that are not those brands. & although I understand why they do it, it can be hard to find what you're actually looking for, sometimes. Overall though I am very pleased with this app. If all the cons are fixed, it would be awesome in every way possible. I go on the app daily and enjoy the process and the app itself. I highly recommend it.
