Can I bring my Depop shop over?

Not from a file: Depop only lets you download what you've sold. Post the items you still own from your own photos, a few at a time, and tag the band.

Is MerchVice a shop too?

It can be. Every item in your closet is Showing off, Open to trade or For sale, and you change that whenever you like. The closet is for all of it, not only what's for sale.

Does MerchVice boost listings for money?

No. The feed is newest first and nothing is paid to rank. Anything promoted sits beside the feed and says so.

Showing off and trading are free. Selling has one flat fee, shown before you list, and no fee on shipping.

MerchVice vs Depop

Depop is a shop in your pocket. MerchVice is a closet: the shirts you'd never sell get a page too, next to the ones you would.

Checked October 2026. Every fact about Depop here comes from its own help, fees and terms pages, each with its source and the day we read it.

The short answer

Depop makes selling a shirt from your phone quick, with no selling fee in the US and UK and AI filling in the listing from a photo.
MerchVice is for the whole collection: a closet for what you keep as well as what you sell, pages for every band and design, trades between fans, and a feed that is newest first with nothing boosted.
Use both. Sell there when you want to sell fast; keep every item here, where people who love the band will find it.

Side by side

What matters	MerchVice	Depop
Built for band merch	MerchViceYes Every page is about band merch: shirts, posters, records, pins and patches.	DepopNo A marketplace for secondhand clothes of every kind. A band tee is one listing among the rest. Source
Find by band, tour and year	MerchViceYes Band pages, design pages, decade filters and shows, so a shirt finds its tour and its year.	DepopNo Search ranks by relevance, popularity and your habits. Listings carry brand and size, not band, tour or year. Source
A closet for what you keep, and a Top 8	MerchViceYes Post what you own to show it off, not only to sell, and pick a Top 8 for your profile.	DepopNo Your shop shows what's for sale. Nothing keeps the things you're keeping, and there's no Top 8. Source
Trading, item for item	MerchVicePartly Mark an item Open to trade today. The trade itself, with the item moving to its new owner, is coming.	DepopNo Buying, selling and offers. No item-for-item trade. Source
Date your shirt's tag	MerchViceYes Free: photograph the tag and get its era, with the sources, whether you join or not.	Depop Nothing on its own pages says either way.
Free to show off and trade	MerchViceYes Free to show off and trade. Selling is coming, with one flat fee shown before you list.	DepopPartly No selling fee in the US. Payment processing still applies, and buyers pay a marketplace fee of up to 5% plus up to $1. Source
Newest first, nothing ranked	MerchViceYes Newest first, for everyone who follows you. Nothing is ranked and nothing is paid to rank.	DepopNo Results are ranked by relevance, popularity, your habits and boosting. Boosted Listings rank apart from the rest. Source
No ads in the feed	MerchViceYes Nothing in the feed. Anything promoted sits beside it and says so.	DepopNo Boosted Listings are paid placements: 12% of the sale in the UK and US when the item sells within 28 days of a view. Source
Buying new from the band	MerchViceYes Bands claim their page free and put their official merch and store links on top.	DepopPartly A business can sell on Depop as a business. There's no band page and nothing marks a band's own merch. Source
Following bands	MerchViceYes Follow bands, members and tags, and hear when they add new merch.	DepopYes Follow sellers you like. Who you follow is public by default. Source
Taking your data with you	MerchViceYes Download everything you posted from Settings, any time, as files you can open.	DepopPartly Download your sales from Selling Hub, three months a file, on a computer. Your live listings have no download. Source

Where Depop is better

No selling fee in the US and UK. Source
List from one photo: the app fills in the description and details for you. Source
Send an offer to the people who liked your item, right from the listing. Source

Use both

Nobody is asking you to leave Depop. Bring your items here as well, so they have a home that is about the music.

Depop's only download is your sales (Selling Hub, then Stats, then Download sales, on a computer), and those items have moved on to their buyers. Post the items you still own here from your own photos; say Yes when we ask if AI may suggest the band and details. Source
