The biggest scam is the overuse of the word "vintage". I've seen too many t-shirts that you literally can buy at a gas station for $12 brand new and people on depop label it vintage and post it for $35.
Hey ! Yesterday I purchased a top from a depop seller .i was the first to purchase from her she said she will ship the the day after which is today when i asked her if she shipped it or not she did not respond .Then I noticed that yesterday she was selling 4 tops on her depop but now she deleted all the items except the top i bought !!and she still didn’t respond!!!!!!!!!
I bought an item from a seller with zero reviews. They said their shipping time is a few days, but it's been almost a week and they haven't shipped it yet. They also take days to respond. Should I begin to think they're a scammer?
I paid for an item over 3 weeks ago, I've messaged the seller multiple times asking for the tracking number and they keep saying "I have sent it, i just lost the receipt" but I DON'T BELIEVE THEM, so I've done a dispute with PayPal. Does anyone know how long it'll take to get that money back? They have 5 star review so I am confused :/
I got scammed on a dress I bought on impulse without careful consideration. I want to get refunded because it’s a cheap dupe and I won’t wear it as the quality isn’t confortable. I payed way too much for it... However I’m confused on the refund. Do I have to contact the seller first and ask for a refund or I use the PayPal dispute? I don’t know how to handle the situation. and she is avoiding my questions. If I get the refund, do they get the money taken from them?
same here, so when I opened a dispute with paypal the seller got really arsey with me >:( Like all i want is the tracking number!! if they can't prove it, then in my eyes, they did not send it.
Crimson Skies with whats going on with the postal service there will be some delays. Have you asked for a tracking number? It is possible it is still in the post though
This girl is selling these hair clips for only a pound! And free delivery they are the pearl hair clips and their normally £3-£6, she is active and has a few reviews however all the reviews are from 40+ weeks ago how ever on her page things from a week ago are sold. I know its only a pound but im only 14 lol and am saving my money as much as i can!! x
Shæ i havent got much experience using bank transfers for sales but i’m pretty sure you could get scammed as theres not much you can do except ring your bank
My sister bought something off depop and the seller told her to pay through PayPal to avoid fees. So she payed the seller and this greedy seller tries to make her pay again by saying when you send the payment it says sent but it's not so you have to do it again luckily she didn't but it was too late anyway she already paid £40 and straight away the scammer removed their depop account.
i bought a pair of shoes like 10 days ago and they still haven’t came this is scaring me but i just messaged her so i’ll see if she responds it says she’s been active this week so that’s good
i want to buy shoes from this seller but their reviews don’t show them selling shoes. they have a bunch of good reviews but from selling other things that aren’t as expensive as the shoes. is that a scam?
There was a girl and I asked if the item I wanted was still available blah blah blah and then I said I’ll think about it and she said she will take the shipping fee away? Is it sus? X
She has a lot of good reviews a lot of her ideas are sold she has a lot of reviews and many followers do you think she would scam me I’m 13 and I don’t want waste my moms money
That looks promising shes a trusted seller, if you have paypal pay through that for extra precaution but sellers with great reviews on the whole wouldnt scam customers :)
hi what about trading, someone wants to trade my jordans for his pair, he’s got 0 followers and that’s his only post he added me on ig and he sent me a receipt and things and I’m a bit sceptical because I’ve never traded on depop before. Thanks
Hello, if they have 0 feedback i wouldnt do it, i’ve only traded once or twice to buyers that are very well rated and have lots of good reviews, i personally wouldnt unless youre sure they will 100% send the item to you too
i orders these shorts from this seller and everything seems legit and i’ve messaged her about my item but she seems to reply very late and i haven’t been able to see if she shipped my package/ or can’t track it. she just told me today she shipped it because she’s been slow with shipping , should i be worried ?.
I wouldn’t worry yet. I bought something from a girl who had awful communication and didn’t ship till like 3 weeks later with no tracking info or anything but in the end I eventually got it😂
Hey girlie!!! Love the video, really helps me out! I'd like to make a depop account to sell clothes I haven't used in ages, any tips on how to get an account started and on the go?
Mercedes O hey lovely! So glad it helped! Thats great hun, i would post your shop on your socials to get your friends to follow you and use hashtags to get your items seen more ☺️
Okay so I’ve seen this one account that’s keep coming up it’s like they keep getting removed from the app and keeps coming back on they are selling Jordan’s 1 for $70 only $70! And other shoes under $80 and they have no reviews they also say they can only use cashapp and zelle.
No one would sell Jordan’s for under $80. If the price is too good to be true, it’s a scam. Other red flags are no reviews and paying outside of the app
i wanna buy this juicy couture money purse the pictures seem rly legit she also has a video of showing the tag n it says the original price n it says “made in china” w that batch code on it n i’m not sure if it’s fake or not. the purse looks legit like others but couldn’t find the exact same one online.. they also said they can only postage every tuesday.. i’m rly scared it’s only like 25+7 bucks but i don’t wanna get scammed they seem legit but have no reviews n only one item says sold..
bitch hi i would be weary if they have only one review, have you asked them for the receipt or some kind of proof of purchase? If you can’t find the exact one online chances are its fake. If other JC bags are all made in a different countries it is more likely thats its fake. If you do end up buying it you can return the item to the buyer and if the dont agree paypal will refund you anyway if youve tried, hope this helps
I’m in the US and was interested in purchasing a pair of shoes from the U.K. While the seller has good feedback & was rated 21/27 sales, should I be cautious or proceed with the sale? It’s my first time buying not sure what to expect.
Doreen Sullivan hey, if all their feedback is positive you shouldn’t worry. Buyers don’t always rate their product, i’ve had a lot of buyers not even acknowledge they received the product. I would message them first to make sure they can ship international though
How do you know if a designer item is truly authentic on depop? I already messaged the seller she said it is but the price is a bit too low makes me wonder if it’s a scam!
Krae Nyarko should have some sort of code or imprinting on it being a designer item. Depends on the item though. Maybe check on the items original site for a code and if its authentic and how to tell
Krae Nyarko no problem lovely! Louis Vuitton have a a unique code on each item, pretty sure you can check that code online the LV website to check if its authentic x

Just a Question, i am a new seller on depop, i have never used it, never sold anything and as soon as i posted the item 2 people messaged me and asked for my email bc depop is asking them for my email due to me being a new seller. is this a scam i am unsure 🥲
The biggest scam is the overuse of the word "vintage". I've seen too many t-shirts that you literally can buy at a gas station for $12 brand new and people on depop label it vintage and post it for $35.
omg yess!!! they’ll call a used pair of shoes vintage and think theyre doing something😖
watch my most recent video lollll it makes fun of the scammers hahahah
I exactly! vintage means old, not new
I payed £30 via bank transfer yesterday and I’ve only just realised I’ve been scammed 😭😭😭😭
Never pay for anything on bank transfer
😞😞😞nooooo i’m sorry to hear about this
Jazz 101 I paid £190 for Jordan’s
Reuben Waite sameee i literally just got some jordan’s for £160 and i’m scared that i’m scammed as i paid through paypal friends and family

report to depop
If she hasnt responded open a dispute with paypal and escalate it to a claim

If theyre still responding no, however if they havent shipped your item by now I would contact depop for your money back
I paid for an item over 3 weeks ago, I've messaged the seller multiple times asking for the tracking number and they keep saying "I have sent it, i just lost the receipt" but I DON'T BELIEVE THEM, so I've done a dispute with PayPal.

Paypal usually take a couple of days to review it and get back to you but you need to escalate it to a claim to get your money back
i've sold shoes on depop but im wondering if the person will try to claim a case on depop and im sending the shoes tomorrow what should i do ??

z6e z9e if shes ignoring you just go straight through paypal, open a dispute and then escalate it to a claim if she doesnt refund you from that
does depop take my credit card info? i dont want anything to be stolen 😣😣
No as you link it with paypal :)
I’m still waiting on an item and it’s been over two weeks and that’s never happened before.
same here, so when I opened a dispute with paypal the seller got really arsey with me >:( Like all i want is the tracking number!! if they can't prove it, then in my eyes, they did not send it.
Crimson Skies i’m still waiting for this dress i spent so much on, its been 4 weeks (30 days)😭
xoxo talice file a dispute with depop
Crimson Skies with whats going on with the postal service there will be some delays. Have you asked for a tracking number? It is possible it is still in the post though
Pay through Depop but use the PayPal option
I dont know if the items are fake ... idk what to do !!
This girl is selling these hair clips for only a pound!

I know its only a pound but im only 14 lol and am saving my money as much as i can!! x
If all her reviews are good then I would trust the seller, if any issues you can always get your money back through paypal :) sounds like a bargain!
What if they have sold like 30 but have no reviews
I’d be suspicious of that tbh but never seen an account like that
Great tips, thanks for sharing! 💖
My kid ordered a Jean. First time buying. I’m skeptical I hope he’s getting what he wants.
Can you get scammed by bank transfer like sort code & bank accounts?
Shæ i havent got much experience using bank transfers for sales but i’m pretty sure you could get scammed as theres not much you can do except ring your bank

Tara B she can still get her money back through paypal if it wasnt f&f
@@LifeOfCharl yh she paid through f&f unfortunately
i bought a pair of shoes like 10 days ago and they still haven’t came this is scaring me but i just messaged her so i’ll see if she responds it says she’s been active this week so that’s good
Did u get em?
i want to buy shoes from this seller but their reviews don’t show them selling shoes. they have a bunch of good reviews but from selling other things that aren’t as expensive as the shoes. is that a scam?
I would say they are reliable if they have good reviews, if there is any issues they seller will have to offer you a return option for a refund
There was a girl and I asked if the item I wanted was still available blah blah blah and then I said I’ll think about it and she said she will take the shipping fee away? Is it sus? X
I’d say not, if shes trying to shift her items faster sellers often do this ☺️
All most got scammed. Thank god this video is up!!❤️
How did you almost get scamemd
Scammed*

Is it dafe to buy with debit card??
Yes you’re protected by depops funding process
how do i get my money back from goods and services?
lil carti vert open a dispute and if they dont refund you escalate it and paypal will refund you
LifeOfCharl oh ok thank you !
LifeOfCharl i didn’t get a payment i only got an email confirmation because the guy didn’t confirm the money
lil carti vert if the moneys gone from your account and its a nee transaction you should be able to either cancel it or dispute it with paypal

The advice i'd give you is only buy from someone with less than 50 5* reviews IF they have a website
LifeOfCharl hello , can you get your money from if you buy in the depop website ?
i purchased an item from someone and it says they haven’t made a paypal account and the person is asking for the transaction ID is it safe?
danielle hernandez they wouldnt be able to sell items without a paypal account, be cautious and look at their reviews
LifeOfCharl yea i ended up just cancelling the order
if someone pays for an item and PayPal holds the money are they able to refund there payment?
mad rando paypal can do yes, usually the payment is only on hold when theyre trying to claim or resolve an issue
Rasclartt think I’m 9 months late, got scammed by some scum for 3bills🙃
what for bro
Are there any scams as a seller I need to look out for?
yes! watch out for people that say they email you or pay via PayPal bc it’s cap
How do you know if a designer item is truly authentic on depop? I already messaged the seller she said it is but the price is a bit too low makes me wonder if it’s a scam!
Krae Nyarko should have some sort of code or imprinting on it being a designer item. Depends on the item though. Maybe check on the items original site for a code and if its authentic and how to tell
LifeOfCharl Thank you for replying and It’s a Louis Vuitton purse.
Krae Nyarko no problem lovely! Louis Vuitton have a a unique code on each item, pretty sure you can check that code online the LV website to check if its authentic x

this guy posted the same thing like 20 times that i wanna buy is that dodgy
dont buy! depop is usually where you buy items you cannot get anywhere! so if they have many of the same item please be aware of scammers
Just look at the reviews they have. You can buy / sell anything on depop don’t listen to this clown
lena nguyen
Apple Sauce im not a clown lmao depop is where you buy rare items that cannot be found anywhere, having multiples is a little sketch
Wowwww you helped me!
A girl gave me a refund back do you know how long it will take for it to get back to my bank account because it’s been a could of days
ItsKHAPRI hopefully you have it now, but with paypal it shouldnt ever take more than a week
Just a Question, i am a new seller on depop, i have never used it, never sold anything and as soon as i posted the item 2 people messaged me and asked for my email bc depop is asking them for my email due to me being a new seller. is this a scam i am unsure 🥲
