Fields to keep in the spreadsheet

Field Use it for Example
SKU Assign an internal SKU before photographing and listing the item. EX-DEP-BIN-A02-009
Style category Record clothing type so you can review margin by category. Vintage denim / Streetwear
Marketplace seller fee Copy any seller fee actually shown on the transaction. Use the seller fee shown on the completed order
Payment processing Log the transaction deduction separately from any seller fee. Use the completed-order amount
Boost cost Record a boosting charge only when it applies to the sold listing. Use the completed-order amount
Cross-post Track other active marketplaces so sold items get taken down. Active on Poshmark + Depop

Do not use the old 10% U.S. selling-fee formula

Depop announced that the 10% selling fee was removed for U.S. sellers on newly listed items from July 15, 2024. Its current seller pages still say there are no selling fees for sellers in the U.S. and U.K., while payment processing and optional boosting can apply.

Keep marketplace seller fee, payment processing, and boost cost as separate columns. For an eligible U.S. listing the selling-fee field may be zero, but keeping the field preserves older transactions, regional differences, and a clear audit trail if the policy changes.

  • Use the transaction receipt—not a legacy 10% formula—as the final fee record.
  • Record boosting only when the sold listing incurred that charge.
  • Do not combine seller-paid shipping with payment processing.

Make style data useful without losing the physical item

Style, era, category, brand, size, and condition help you review what sells, but the SKU and bin location are what let you fulfill the order. Create the SKU before photography and use the same identifier on every marketplace where the item is cross-posted.

Keep flaws and measurements in stable fields or notes. If the listing is edited later, the spreadsheet should still contain enough detail to identify the exact garment and explain its purchase cost.

Treat cross-post status as an operational field

Use a separate status for each marketplace or a structured cross-post field. As soon as an item sells, update the master row and end the other live listings. The profit calculation can wait; preventing a second sale cannot.

For returns, preserve the original sale, fee, and shipping values. Add the refund and relist outcome separately so you can distinguish a resolved return from a sale that was never reconciled.

FAQ

What columns should a Depop inventory spreadsheet include?

Track SKU, item title, style category, size, condition, bin location, purchase cost, list price, sold price, marketplace seller fee if charged, payment processing, boost cost, shipping cost, and net profit.

Does Depop still charge a 10% selling fee in the United States?

No for eligible newly listed U.S. items. Depop says it removed the 10% selling fee for U.S. sellers on new listings from July 15, 2024. Payment-processing charges and optional boosting costs can still apply, so copy the actual deductions from the transaction.

How do I handle cross-posted Depop items?

Use one row per SKU and a platform status field. When it sells on Depop, mark the other closets so you do not sell the same item twice.
