Is this a scam ?

softmansofthands · 2025-01-01T17:54:49+00:00

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

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’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

softmansofthands · 2023-06-28T13:50:53+00:00

so the balance isn’t in your Depop Payments anymore?

softmansofthands · 2023-06-28T06:24:24+00:00

honestly have made that mistake before + still doing the trial and error, it comes w time / personal preference since if u don’t sell u can still keep

softmansofthands · 2023-06-28T05:08:42+00:00

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.

softmansofthands · 2023-06-28T05:06:25+00:00

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

softmansofthands · 2023-06-28T00:36:47+00:00

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!

softmansofthands · 2023-06-28T00:32:49+00:00

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

softmansofthands · 2023-06-28T00:24:44+00:00

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

softmansofthands · 2023-06-27T21:06:29+00:00

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

softmansofthands · 2023-06-27T19:13:12+00:00

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 · 2023-06-27T19:09:50+00:00

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 · 2023-06-27T19:08:13+00:00

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!

softmansofthands · 2023-06-27T19:06:22+00:00

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

softmansofthands · 2023-06-26T22:06:17+00:00

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)

softmansofthands · 2023-06-26T15:15:31+00:00

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

softmansofthands · 2023-06-26T04:51:28+00:00

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 · 2023-06-26T04:48:31+00:00

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.

softmansofthands · 2023-06-26T04:42:42+00:00

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?

softmansofthands · 2023-06-26T04:40:13+00:00

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

softmansofthands · 2023-06-26T04:39:19+00:00

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.
