Don’t start a business – Depop | Buy & Sell Clothing Review

If you’re downloading Depop to start a business, maybe don’t. The 1% of Depop users who do this have niche content and have been doing well for a while. On top of Depop fees, PayPal fees, materials, product and shipping; you will be hard pressed to turn any kind of profit. Especially compared to the amount of work you will put in. Depop was a portion of my income and four days before Christmas, Depop shut my entire account down. Wouldn’t respond to emails, wouldn’t rectify it, didn’t care I missed out on sales over the holidays. The customer service rep seemed very annoyed to help me and offered no consolation. This is such a great concept and after etsy bought them, I thought for sure the app would improve and be a friendly user experience. No such case. You can do everything right and if a buyer wants to tank your reviews, demand a refund without returning the item, and harass you via email if they really want an item that you won’t sell for less, they absolutely can. Depop will not care.
