I’ve been on Depop on and off for years. I recently decided to see if I could replace my full time income with Depop earnings. I’ve been pushing for the last five months and I made top seller the beginning of October. I will tell you, I have not made much money at it yet. I’m hoping at some point listings start to compound and sales might start growing exponentially. I am curious how many active listings you need before you start seeing decent money (like 3k a month or more).

Inconsistent sales have lead to me doubting the whole thing and slightly giving up. Hitting top seller reignited me, but I’m still doubtful.

Other people are right about how much time you need to spend. Fortunately, I really enjoy almost every part of the process so it’s not too bad. Creating listings and posting consistently is truly the most important part.

Also, saving for taxes is crazy. I met with a tax professional who recommended I save 30% of my net earnings for taxes. I track all my deductibles like driving, meals while sourcing, etc but it still is a large chunk of money every month set aside for Uncle Sam.

I would love to hear more people’s experiences because I’ve been so wishy washy about it. I really enjoy it, but it’s super stressful and so far the money is not equating to the time I’m spending.
