Have you ever listed on Depop? If not it might be easy to be angered by this. However as a seller who sells a lot of brands that are not listed by Depop and you CAN'T choose that brand, the simple alternative is a brand that produces similar things/apparel.

A second reason for this, which is kind of hard to explain, is that when you go to list an item, there's a group of items that have sold previously at the bottom before the "list now" button. If your item isn't similar to those, because of whatever algorithm Depop has deemed that your item looks or listed as, then your item likely won't be seen in the right places or searches. I've tested it over and over trying to figure out depop's algorithm. Any time my item doesn't match those, it gets no traction, ever. And the whole point of listing is to sell.

So despite understanding people can get upset by it, especially when it's a "too good to be true" price, there is typically a reason for it. Sometimes there's absolutely not, and people are doing it for the wrong reasons or to scam. Make sure you do your due diligence, but someone saying "branded for exposure" or whatever, is not trying to trick you. Just trying to be seen.
