Yes — HMRC receives seller data from Depop under DAC7 rules. If you are selling your own used personal items, capital gains tax may apply only if items are sold for more than you paid. If you are buying items specifically to resell for profit, this constitutes trading income and must be declared via Self Assessment. The trading allowance (£1,000/year) may cover very small sellers.

Vinted charges zero seller fees (buyers pay a 3-8% buyer protection fee), making it cheaper for sellers on low-value items. Depop charges a 10% seller commission plus payment processing, making effective fees around 13% of the selling price. However, Depop's buyer demographic and search functionality differ — Depop tends to attract fashion-focused buyers willing to pay more for vintage and branded items, which can mean higher achieved selling prices than Vinted.
