Listing the same jacket on the wrong platform can cost you both money and weeks of waiting. Vinted, Depop and eBay all sell second-hand clothing, but they attract different buyers and charge in different ways. Here's the breakdown.
Vinted — best for everyday volume
Fees: none for sellers (the buyer pays a small protection fee). Audience: huge and European, value-focused. Best for: high-street and mid-range clothing you want to clear quickly without losing a cut to commission. The trade-off is that buyers expect low prices and negotiate hard.
Depop — best for style and storytelling
Fees: a flat seller fee plus payment processing. Audience: young, trend-led, willing to pay for curation. Best for: vintage, Y2K, streetwear and anything that photographs well and tells a style story. Strong styling and a consistent shop aesthetic genuinely move the needle here.
eBay — best for reach and rare items
Fees: a final-value fee, typically around 13% depending on category. Audience: the broadest of any platform, all ages, global. Best for: collectibles, rare sizes, branded and designer pieces, and anything hard to price — the auction format finds the true market value. eBay's Authenticity Guarantee on bags, watches and sneakers also builds buyer trust.
A simple decision rule
- Clearing everyday clothes fast and fee-free → Vinted.
- Curated vintage and streetwear to a style-led crowd → Depop.
- Rare, collectible, designer or hard-to-price → eBay.
- Luxury bags and watches → consider Vestiaire Collective or The RealReal instead.
List smart across all three
Many sellers cross-list the same item on more than one platform and pull it once it sells. Catalogue your inventory in AGITE so you always know what's listed where, and use our estimator to set a defensible starting price on each.
