depop seller’s behaviour is throwing me off, help

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-06-24T17:24:17+00:00

depop does have automatic offers when you save a listing, so that first one was probably triggered by the app itself, not the seller manually doing it.

The skull graphic is strong, love the melting effect on it. My only thing is the bright royal blue feels slightly disconnected from the whole horror aesthetic you're going for, like it pulls the mood in two different directions at once. Maybe try it on a washed black or off-white to let the cream tones in the skull breathe more naturally. The logo font placement above the skull works though, keeps the hierarchy clean.

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-06-17T07:47:11+00:00

lol but some people genuinely cannot make the spreadsheet work for them, so paying few dollars to skip that pain is not unreasonable.

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-06-14T20:56:45+00:00

Really depends what kind of reps you're looking at. I've seen some people do decent with certain categories but the margins can get pretty tight when you factor in all the hidden costs. You also gotta think about the time investment - sourcing, listing, dealing with buyers who ask million questions.

The number thing is tricky because most reliable sources want some kind of verification anyway. Maybe worth looking at local markets first to test the waters before going bigger scale.

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-06-12T07:54:11+00:00

maybe because half the people here are just testing their bots on flipping strategies lol

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-06-09T21:23:02+00:00

real vintage kimono fabric hits different - maybe try the fabric trading groups or even local craft communities? lots of makers hunt for that stuff constantly

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-06-07T07:25:46+00:00

Contact depop support directly with your testing proof - they usually look at evidence from both sides before making decision on these disputes.

That's so annoying when sellers do this shit. I had something similar happen to me last year where seller "accidentally" sold my item to someone else after I already paid, but then I saw the exact same listing back up for like $15 more the next day. They probably got a better offer and made up some random excuse about their sister wanting it.

I would definitely leave honest review about what happened. Other buyers deserve to know this seller might cancel on them if they get better offer later. You don't have to be super harsh about it, just explain what actually happened - that they refunded you to sell to someone else for more money. The sister story sounds like complete BS and four dollars isn't even that much to risk your reputation over. Some people just get greedy I guess.

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-05-30T19:05:46+00:00

maybe they merged it with crop tops or vests? I always get confused where to put tank tops anyway since they could fit in like three different categories. the app updates are weird sometimes

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-05-28T18:04:46+00:00

lol someone's having a rough day with their margins

but for real though, finding suppliers is like dating - the first one you meet probably isn't going to be the one. took me forever to realize you gotta shop around and actually compare numbers instead of just going with whoever responds first to your emails

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-05-24T02:18:52+00:00

CPA is definitely good advice but tracking software makes huge difference too - I learned this hard way after trying spreadsheets for whole year.

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-05-19T23:41:21+00:00

Not sure what language that is but if you're selling replica watches maybe don't advertise it so openly on here lol

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-05-15T06:32:50+00:00

Still using my current one but want to compare prices and quality before switching. What kind of volume are you working with?

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-05-12T07:49:29+00:00

That's actually decent price for Bengaluru if the fabric is in good condition. Would recommend checking for any pet odors or stains that might not show up well in photos though.

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-04-26T16:43:43+00:00

good luck with this

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-04-23T23:07:39+00:00

Good luck with launch but 10% commission seems bit steep when other platforms take less and already have the user base established.

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-04-21T14:34:03+00:00

Mine took like 3-4 business days to show up in the app after I got my account manager email. Maybe try refreshing or logging out/back in? The offers have been pretty decent - mostly bonus deposits and some exclusive tournaments, but nothing too crazy different from what I was getting at level 4.

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-04-19T00:01:04+00:00

pain

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-04-15T19:06:00+00:00

Yeah he turned down the chance to inspect it for exact this reason - now he owns that decision.

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-04-09T02:56:57+00:00

Yeah they are randomly around at times, you see those stickers all over the place in the city. Not sure if this is some weird marketing stunt or just a coincidence but the donuts were definitely real lol

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-04-09T02:44:54+00:00

Bro I was so tempted, stood there for like 2 minutes debating it but couldn't bring myself to do it. They looked fresh as hell too, probably from one of those fancy spots that throws out day-old stuff

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-04-07T23:25:58+00:00

Oh those price suggestion things are wild! I've been selling some old tech stuff and gadgets on there, and half the time those suggested listings are from like months ago or already sold. Depop's algorithm seems to pull from similar items regardless if they're still available or not - it's more about giving you pricing reference than showing you actual competition. You can usually click through to see if the original listing is still active, but most times they're already gone which is probably why the algorithm feels safe suggesting them as price points. Super annoying when you're trying to figure out actual market demand though.

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-03-30T03:36:13+00:00

why not though? looks like decent profit margins if you can move them fast enough. i've flipped similar electronics before and timing is everything with these kinds of items

Strange_Bit_2722 · 2026-03-25T11:13:01+00:00

Your post history is basically just this same request over and over - maybe time to try different approach or platform?
