the title may be misleading, because i truly have no experience with depop.
however, i've realized how easy it actually is to sell on it. i've always been in the loop on depop and have bought a few things myself, as i really enjoy thrifting! i am someone who is definitely not a huge consumer of clothes. i have issues with spending money, in the sense that i hate doing it, therefore i don't usually buy myself as much as i'd like/want (but this is a whole other post i should probably make).
with depop, i've had really smooth sailing so far. i got it yesterday and just decided to list some clothes that i either don't wear, got as gifts and never returned, or that i feel would be better in the hands of other people. much to my surprise, i've sold 7 items in the span of 16 hours!
i genuinely thought it would be very difficult to actually go through the selling process, mainly because i didn't have any parcels to ship in, and my transportation to the post office is based on whenever my mum wants to drive me!
after i finally dug up the courage to ask her to buy some parcels (for like 1 dollar each at dollar tree!!), it was super easy to print my own labels and package everything.
i've run into some very understanding, kind, and easygoing people! i love that i'm now able to become part of a community with people who love to reuse and repurpose things!
i find it so especially fulfilling when someone expresses their enthusiasm about an item. a girl messaged me about some jeans i was selling and said she really wanted them for back to school and that she was super happy to get her hands on the pair! i'm glad i can provide someone with that confidence that comes with a pair of jeans they genuinely love.
i have heard of bad experiences on depop, and it's super unfortunate. i'm lucky enough to not have run into anything like that, and i hope my time selling continues to be positive!
i wish the best for anyone reading this who is also a seller! feel free to comment your depop shops and i will totally check them out!

as someone who also struggles with spending issues, ive never used depop because online shopping specifically feels very wrong. This post however, is making me reconsider and maybe i will do a lil depop shopping. super fun & relatable read ! <3
