New to Depop? Depop Shopping 101: How to Actually Find Cool Pieces on Depop

If you're looking for one-of-a-kind, sustainable clothing, Depop is the perfect place to start. This online marketplace is a hub for sellers all over the world to showcase their pre-loved or handmade items.

But with so many options available, it can be overwhelming to navigate through the thousands of listings.

Here are some tips to help you hunt down the best items on Depop.

Depop Tip #1 - Be Specific

Firstly, use specific keywords when searching for an item. Don't just type in "skirt" or "jacket". Instead, use descriptive words such as "pleated mini skirt" or "oversized denim jacket".

This will narrow down your search and show you the items that match your preferences. You can also use the filter feature to set specific criteria such as size, brand, colour, and price range.

Budget Tip: You can also use this filter feature to look at items that are on sale or have free shipping

Depop Tip #2 - Follow Sellers

Another tip is to follow your favourite sellers. Depop allows users to follow other users, much like on Instagram.

By following a seller whose style you like, you'll be the first to know when they upload new items. You can also browse their "liked items" to see if they've liked anything that matches your style.

Depop features sellers on their home page, so be sure to browse these!

Depop Tip #3 - Check Descriptions

It's also important to read the item description carefully before making a purchase. This will give you an idea of the item's condition, sizing, and any flaws it may have.

Be sure to ask the seller any questions you may have before buying, such as measurements or additional photos. This will help avoid any misunderstandings or disappointments when you receive the item.

Depop Tip #4 - Don’t be Afraid to Send an Offer!

Finally, don't be afraid to make an offer. Many sellers on Depop are open to negotiation, especially if an item has been listed for a while.

However, be reasonable with your offer and don't lowball the seller!

Trust me, Depop sellers value politeness in the Depop chat!
