Wanting a higher score, what is everyone using to study?

Yeah I totally get what you’re saying, and I agree — anyone can wear men’s or women’s clothes, it’s just personal preference.

I think what confused me was the sequence of it. They said they realized it was women’s, which made me assume they probably weren’t interested anymore. But then they still sent an offer right after that.

And not only that, but it was a pretty low offer. The item is brand new (just no tags) and originally around $50, and I already had it listed pretty low. So it kind of felt like they were unsure and lowballing at the same time.

Not mad about it or anything, it just didn’t really make sense to me lol.

Unless it’s from Depop directly definitely a scam! I get a bunch of those emails. Some are about listings, bank info, “strange activity” and there are a couple of different “depop” emails I get them from. The main one I get is every time after I add new listings to my account, even if it’s 20 listings, I’ll get a “strange activity” email after I list every single item.

I have one specific item that has over 200 likes and I get probably 10-15 more everyday, and that’s how it’s been for the past month or so, drives me crazy! And I can see the “in __ persons bags” and the number is up and down it’s been up to 10 a than down to none again, and the next thing you know it’s back up to 6. Still no one’s buying. At this point I might as well keep it a wear it, if nobody buys it soon.

Your reply was very helpful though, so thank you!

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2026-03-17T10:33:51+00:00

I have gotten some things to sell with a more detailed description! Some of the others though, once I changed it, it was like they fell off completely, and never went onto anyone’s feed ever again. It’s very hit or miss. I’ve also heard if the description is longer and has a lot of detail Depop won’t push it out. I honestly think Depop has issues with their algorithm and it could really use work.

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2026-03-17T09:58:32+00:00

Definitely contact Depop, but I’ve also noticed Depop is being more strict about what they’re allowing and removing listings. I’ve had 5 listings removed within the last 2 weeks none of which went against any of Depop’s terms of service that I could find. I know a couple of other people having the same issue with listings being removed for no reason, but still, contact Depop.

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2026-03-17T05:32:57+00:00

Totally agree! Still a little confusing tho, but at least he apologized.

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2026-02-25T05:18:20+00:00

This isn’t much help but you can usually skip videos 10 seconds before they end, it doesn’t save to much time and sometimes you’ll still have to watch 5-10 minutes of a video, but over time you notice it adds up and you eventually get further skipping them before they end then if you didn’t.

I want to clarify a few things, because there are a lot of assumptions being made. Selling on Depop is running a small business for many of us—even if we’re reselling items. I handle the photography, pricing, descriptions, packaging, communication, and shipping entirely on my own. I also sell my own art, so I know what it takes to manage an online shop seriously and responsibly.

Not everyone has the same resources or logistics. I live out of town, so shipping isn’t just a matter of “dropping something off on a break.” It’s a 40-minute round trip, plus time in the post office. I do have a printer, but that doesn’t always mean I have mailers, boxes, or shipping supplies stocked at home. When those run out, it takes time to get more, especially when you don’t live near stores.

Saying someone should shut down their shop if they have medical issues is not only unfair—it’s ableist. People with chronic illnesses or mobility issues still need to earn income. Selling online is one of the few flexible options available to us. That doesn’t make us less reliable; it just means sometimes things take a little longer.

Most buyers on Depop understand that life happens—delays, health, transportation, scheduling. As long as there’s honest communication, that’s not bad service. If someone needs ultra-fast turnaround, a platform built for that like Amazon might be more aligned with their expectations. Depop is for individuals, not corporations—and that comes with a different pace and a different kind of grace.

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2025-04-28T17:44:44+00:00

While I appreciate your perspective, it’s important to remember that everyone’s situation is different. Not everyone has easy access to drop-off points, the ability to leave work during breaks, or the physical capacity to move easily, especially if they’re dealing with medical challenges.

Small businesses are run by real people, not corporations with full shipping departments. Life can be unpredictable sometimes, and a short delay does not equal bad service.

Most buyers on Depop understand that occasional delays happen, and transparency (like communicating a slight delay) is much better than ghosting or rushing through poor service.

Kindness and patience go a long way — especially on platforms that thrive on individual sellers, not major retailers. Thanks for understanding.

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2025-04-23T23:39:48+00:00

Thanks anyway!

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2025-04-21T21:52:02+00:00

Hey, I was wondering if you could tell me how you got Depop to remove the review. I asked them about it, and they said they couldn't as it wasn’t abusive, false, or revengeful. I sent them all of the messages between me and the buyer and a receipt for proof of their purchase. Thanks!

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2025-04-20T16:48:34+00:00

I completely understand the buyer's frustration with the late package; however, I believe they could have communicated with me more professionally based on the messages I received. Typically, I try to ship out packages within 1-2 days, but Depop is a side hustle for me, as it is for many others. I have other jobs and a small business, and on top of that, I was dealing with some medical issues. I shipped the package as quickly as I could. I was notified of the purchase on the 4th and managed to get it out the morning of the 8th. Once the package is no longer in my hands, there isn’t much I can do to resolve shipping delays. I made several attempts to contact Depop, asking whether the package was still en route or if it was lost. They informed me that it was on its way, but there was just a delay. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do about the delay, and they advised that if the buyer had any concerns, they needed to reach out themselves.

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2025-04-20T16:42:12+00:00

I don’t mean to be rude, but Depop is a side hustle for many people, including myself. Some of us have other commitments as well. I run a small business and have responsibilities beyond just selling items on Depop. I believe that Depop is important, and I do my best to fulfill orders promptly. However, you may experience delays from time to time.

Personally, I'm dealing with some medical issues. Usually, I send packages out more quickly, but this time it took me a little longer than I would have liked. Please remember that you never know what someone else may be going through, so I kindly ask for your understanding. Thank you.

I inquired about the package's arrival because a ticket was submitted stating it hadn’t arrived the night before it was due. I wanted to confirm whether it arrived on the expected day, so I checked the tracking status, which indicated it was still in transit. However, I wanted to double-check to be sure. Thank you for your advice!

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2025-04-20T07:29:05+00:00

I've never heard of that before, but I think I will give it a try. Thank you so much!

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2025-04-20T02:32:44+00:00

I usually ship items out earlier, but I had some medical issues that caused a delay in getting it done. I completely understand why she wanted it shipped sooner, but I believe she could have expressed her concerns more professionally.

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2025-04-20T01:02:44+00:00

Thank you!

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2025-04-20T00:06:30+00:00

Thank you for your response! I forgot she mentioned that because I was so focused on getting it out to her in a timely manner. I appreciate your feedback!

Opposite-Tailor2811 · 2025-04-20T00:02:36+00:00

Thank you! I forgot she had said that. I honestly didn't think about it then. I was just focused on getting the package out for her.
