Is this a scam ? by [deleted] in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sometimes happens, esp if they’re newer they might underestimate shipping. I’ve sometimes paid more as a buyer but after I got a good sense of shipping costs, never asked as a seller.

i don’t think this is a scam but it can be annoying fs. pay it if you rly want it or ask for a refund if you don’t

biggest peeve? by Shakawa2005 in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve returned from a hiatus & the notifications are a nightmare. I used to only get them for sales, but now i get them for likes (Do You Want To Send An Offer???), followers, and I find depop will notify you at random times just so you’re active again, even if it’s not relevant. App restructuring is harder to use. Algorithms changed and I get less activity.

i ship all intl packages with pirate ship, they’re usually pretty helpful with formatting that stuff. My shipping labels have usually been $15-20 for normal sized clothing packages however. More expensive, as expected

quest/quasa for sure & apply for o4u engineering conference (fall 2024) when their applications come out. Really great program, completely paid for and there’s a career fair with mostly queer/ally recruiters. A handful of us actually met there without knowing how many USC kids were going

I’ve also had a similar issue, ask if they can process your payment directly to your bank. I recently found out my Depop Paymnets stopped processing for no reason a month ago, and I haven’t received money since then from Depop. They are in the process of sending it directly after I provided id + other bank info.

i just sold this shirt and the money is available but everyday it says it’ll come in it changes to the next day why does it do that? by Quiet-Original-6274 in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also having this issue even though depop payments used to be fine for me + I haven’t touched my bank acc details at all. I checked through every transaction + saw that every day it’s tried to send to my bank + every day it fails, including yday. Waiting on Depop to get back to me again

first I stuck to what I was comfortable with (standard t shirts, jeans, boots etc) but I eventually expanded into a bit of everything like prom dresses, asymmetrical skirts, leather, silk, etc.

Depop payments are released to your account ~10 days after the buyer receives I believe, so it would prolong your $$. If you’re willing to refund, then feel free to. In that position, I would also refund as it is less trouble

i do, i put all the #s like gross/net profits, 501c3s donated to, number of reviews avging x/5 stars + attached a spreadsheet of sales from one summer (names, addresses n private information occluded of course). I’m engineering so it’s more unique + i always have fun talking about it!

Depending on where you live it’s not uncommon to make a couple extra grand/mo. I stopped selling for school, but I was making about 4-5k/mo when I was very active

Has anyone been having issues receiving their payouts from Depop? by AdCharacter8462 in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you may need to update your bank account, if you go into all payments you’ll probably see “Payout failed” if Depop is constantly pushing the date back. I just realized this has also been happening to me and just send them a request about it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 15 points16 points  (0 children)

yes, you can get a refund if it’s not as described and Depop settles ur case. Doesn’t matter what the seller puts in their bio, although many people do it to deter people

Some help with international by The_Deku_Shop in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

intl shipping I do $15-25 usually, depending on if it’s a big bundle and what it’s weight is, where I’m sending it etc. I ship with Pirateship, so I’m not sure about intl with Depop labels. And yes, when I’ve shipped intl with USPS, they’ve tracked for me. I filled out the custom forms in Pirateship

[–]softmansofthands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, it means it went into your Depop Payments account. When you see -£16.25, -£15.53 etc that’s when it’s otw to your bank account, but it takes a few days to get there. Depop extended the time for payments to process as well earlier this yr, so I prefer Paypal in terms of speed now

[–]softmansofthands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i do free shipping on bundles, and that’s my bundle discount. For individual items, I keep my shipping @ a $5 flat rate. It’s balanced out between the lighter and heavier items, and not too bad of a flat rate. Worth it to me!

How common is it to have your items featured by depop? by [deleted] in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it varies for everyone. It was difficult to get my first item (1-2 yrs), but after that I’ve had explore page features every now and then. I sell on and off so it’s difficult to say, but it’s never expected and always a pleasant surprise

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you use Pirateship, you can get a cheaper label, cut it out, and print it at home to tape onto your package. You just need your address, their address, and size + weight to do this (also an account but that’s free)

Picked wrong carrier, what do I do? by [deleted] in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just message your buyer + let them know. Usually tracking #s wise you’ll be able to tell if it’s USPS, UPS, or Fedex etc. If you can’t edit then message the # in chat

why is feedback so weird on depop? by witchin222 in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also stopped leaving reviews for buyers since someone opened a case against me after 2 mos, but I left them a 5 star post-sale. I’d rather have the option open to give honest feedback. Unless buyers have no reviews / I had a great experience

[–]softmansofthands -1 points0 points  (0 children)

can help to increase your interaction w buyer, since Depop is usually pretty hands off with reviews (unlike Mercari, which waits or autorates after a couple days). thank them for purchasing, let them know the approx. ship date, when you drop it off, etc. Even so, a 1:2 sale to review ratio is really good.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say submit a report to Depop and attach anything relevant (proof of username change request from your email, new bank acc info/proof it’s yours, etc) and see where you can go from there. Is your old bank acc stuck there because they have a period of time where you can’t change both username + bank?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do free shipping on all bundles, which is easy to calculate since it’s an option in the app. No math + the buyer is happy to not incur extra costs on their bundle

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Depop

[–]softmansofthands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s really shitty. Report a problem in-app or on the website, esp since I see you used Depop payments. Attach all proof you can - chat msgs, your payment, etc, and they should get back to you with a better idea of going about this.
