You can remove a listing on Depop either by permanently deleting it or by marking it as sold, depending on whether you want to completely erase it from your shop or just indicate that it's no longer available for purchase.
Permanently Deleting a Depop Listing
To fully remove a listing from your Depop shop and history, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Your Shop: Open the Depop app and tap on the "My Depop" icon, typically found on the far right of the home bar at the bottom of the screen.
- Select the Listing: Browse through your active listings and tap on the specific item you wish to delete. This will take you to its individual listing page.
- Access Options Menu: Once you are on the individual listing page, look for the three dots (...) icon. This is usually located in the top right corner of the screen.
- Delete Listing: Tap the "..." icon. A menu will appear with various options. Select the option to delete the listing entirely. You will likely be asked to confirm your decision. Confirming will remove the listing from your shop permanently.
Marking a Depop Listing as Sold
If you've sold an item outside of Depop, or simply wish to show that it's no longer available without fully deleting its record, you can mark it as sold. This will keep the listing visible in your shop, but clearly indicate its sold status to potential buyers.
- Go to My Depop: From the Depop home screen, tap the "My Depop" icon on the far right of the home bar.
- Manage Your Listings: Find the listing you want to mark as sold among your items.
- Select "Mark As Sold": On each individual listing, you will find an option within the "Manage Your Listings" section to Mark As Sold. Tap this option.
- Confirm Status: The listing will now display a "Sold" banner, letting others know the item is no longer available for purchase.
Deletion vs. Marking as Sold: A Quick Comparison
Understanding the difference between these two actions is crucial for managing your inventory effectively on Depop:
| Feature | Permanently Deleting a Listing | Marking a Listing as Sold |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | To completely remove a listing from your shop and sales history. | To indicate an item is no longer available, while retaining its record and visibility. |
| Visibility | The listing is entirely removed and no longer visible to anyone. | The listing remains visible in your shop, but with a clear "Sold" status. |
| Location | My Depop > Individual Listing > ... (top right) > Delete Listing |
My Depop > Individual Listing > "Manage Your Listings" > Mark As Sold |
| Outcome | The listing is erased and cannot be recovered. | The listing's status changes to "Sold," appearing as a past sale. |
Practical Insight: Choose to delete a listing when you've decided not to sell the item, need to re-list it with significant changes, or want to tidy up your shop from old, irrelevant items. Opt to mark an item as sold if you completed a sale (especially off-app) and want to keep a record of the transaction or showcase your sales history to build trust with buyers.
