How does Depop Boost work for Australian sellers?
Depop Boost promotes your listing in search results. You pay an additional 8% fee only if the item sells through a boosted placement — there's no upfront cost. You can set a daily budget and choose which listings to boost. Boosted listings are marked for buyers. Boost is most effective on already-performing items with good photos and accurate descriptions — it amplifies what's working, not rescue poor listings. Monitor your boost spend against the additional sales generated.

Key things to know for Australian sellers
Australian online selling has its own quirks: GST registration thresholds, Australia Post rate structures, and platform-specific buyer behaviour differ from the US and UK advice you'll find most readily online. Checking ATO guidance directly and using the Australia Post postage calculator for accurate quotes are good starting points.
Using multiple platforms together
Most successful Australian resellers end up selling across at least two platforms. The marginal effort to list on a second platform is much lower if you already have photos and a description, and reaching two different buyer pools meaningfully increases your chances of a sale.
