  2. [R8] Depop 5/5 · US Omg: Shoes
  3. [R11] Depop 5/5 · US lulu pants: 10/10 very nice and very open to offers !!!
  4. [R23] Depop 5/5 · US Amazing: I started using Depop a little over a year now, and all I can say is that I am obsessed. Perfect app for reselling your used products, and it is very protected. Anytime someone else or me has had an issue it immediately gets resolved. Huge plus is that they’re not like Vinted!!The only thing I can say other than great things about Depop is to bring back free shipping!!
  5. [R3] Depop 3/5 · US Keeps glitching: At first it worked fine and stuff but now it keeps logging me out and making me sign in every 2 minutes. This keeps happening while im trying to make a listing and when I log back in it doesn’t even save it as a draft so I have to do it all again fast before the app closes again
  6. [R15] Depop 3/5 · US It’s not 5 stars: While the app is easy to use it feels like a scam because you now have to pay for shipping again or a selling fee or a tax and it adds up yet it is always changing and there are other apps that don’t charge like Depop
  7. [R40] Depop 1/5 · US Inaccurate forced AI is ruining my listings: GIVE US THE OPTION TO TURN OFF AI AUTOFILL FOR LISTINGS!!! Everytime I go to make or edit a listing ive already typed and selected tags for, the AI assistance tries to guess my package size in which it ALWAYS gets it wrong and automatically changes it from what I originally correctly selected, which makes me have to also open depop in mobile browser bec
  8. [R48] Depop 3/5 · US stupid magic links.: the magic link login is the absolute worst to ever happen to this app. it never works and limits the amount you can send in an hour even when you can login because of an app glitch. i have one email that is only on my phone so i can’t login on my laptop and for some reason depop will not let me change my email associated with account even thought its an option in the app. cont
  9. [R13] Depop 2/5 · US Please: Please go back to free shipping. I just recently downloaded it and fell in love but the fees add up quickly and make me not want to buy anything. :(
  10. [R22] Depop 1/5 · US Shipping: Way to high
  11. [R24] Depop 3/5 · US Shipping: I love the clothing options on Depop, there’s so many styles to explore for good prices! One thing that gets me though is the shipping fee, I had bought a hoodie for $20 and it had been raised to $32 with shipping + marketplace fee.
  12. [R4] Depop 1/5 · US SCAMMING COMPANY: DO NOT SELL ANYTHING ON THIS APP. they let buyers get free stuff with out returns with free refunds and they wont let you do ANYTHING about it the owners of this app dont care about anyone !! thats why the customer service sucks!
  13. [R7] Depop 1/5 · US Won’t let me takeout my money: Sold items, was able to take out my money. Now it asks for stripe verification, stripe won’t load so I can’t verify it. There’s no help offered and on there official support requests this issue isn’t one of their preselected issues to help with. Why have some 3rd party service tied to peoples money have no official help. So now my money that I made, is stuck on depop
  14. [R19] Depop 1/5 · US not seller friendly !: this app is garbage and the AI responses to actual problems are garbage. happy to delete this app! Sellers beware
  15. [R1] Depop 1/5 · US Greedy: Depop charges the buyer for 3 different things meanwhile Vinted only charges a buyer protection fee, AND Depop charges the seller a fee as well but Vinted lets you keep all the money you earn. I’d rather sell and buy off of Vinted.
  16. [R6] Depop 3/5 · US shipping costs: depop i bought SO MANY clothes i have never spent more on clothing in one week bc i was getting great deals. that was until u took away our free shipping with no warning… due to my faith in the company i will wait to order anything new UNTIL free shipping returns its gotta happen someday until then im js gotta go to vinted or wtv other app
  17. [R63] Wish 3/5 · US Prices: Used to love Wish. I bought a 6 pack of underwear in the past for $35. Now if I want to reorder that same 6 pack it’s $149. Everything has turned so expensive. I may as well get the items from Amazon
  18. [R69] Wish 3/5 · US Dp James: I joined the WISH FAMILY in 2016 and I ordered a lot of things from them needless to say the items were HORRIBLE the clothes were NOTHING LIKE WHAT THEY ADVERTISED. They were very poor quality and not to mention they charged you for shipping FOR EVERY ITEM THAT YOU ORDERED!!!! OOOMMMGGG When I looked I was being charged for EVERY SINGLE ITEM THAT I ORDERED, I didn’t realize this until it
  19. [R72] Wish 3/5 · US You get what you paid for.: For the price, the product is good. Shipping cost is ridiculous and it takes way too long for u to get ur order.
  20. [R79] Wish 1/5 · US Just done: So pretty good but laggy and over priced you will see a really cheap thing but the shipping is extremely expensive and so many ai seller's
  21. [R29] Depop 5/5 · US Depop, the best in buying and selling: I was recommended this app, and to be honest, I had my doubts, but so far it has exceeded my expectations. It's the best app ever! I love it. I buy and sell things, the people are very friendly, and resolving problems is incredibly fast. I'm absolutely thrilled with it, and I recommend it 100%.
