You're not the only one who's had enough.
Depop Sellers face unique challenges: The aesthetic-curation grind: model shots, styled flat lays, and a cohesive shop feed Gen Z buyers expect. Depop's fees plus payment processing eating into already-thin vintage and reseller margins. Hagglers in the DMs negotiating every price and asking for bundle discounts before they commit. Sourcing cost basis on thrifted and vintage finds for taxes once sales cross the reporting threshold. On top of all that, Wave charges $16/month ($192/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Depop Seller earns $32,000/year. Software at $192/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Smartphone for the editorial-style flat lays and model shots is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

Depop is as much a magazine as a marketplace, so my shop has to look styled or Gen Z scrolls past. Morning I shoot: a vintage tee on a model, a flat lay with props that match my aesthetic, fit pics because buyers want to see how it actually hangs. I steam everything first because wrinkles read as careless. Listing takes longer than selling because the photos and the curated feed are the product. The DMs are a negotiation floor: someone asks if I'll do a price, someone else wants a bundle of three for a discount, and I haggle all day before anyone actually buys. Depop's fee plus payment processing skims each sale, and on a vintage piece I sourced thin that skim is the difference between profit and a wash. I ship in recycled packaging with a handwritten note because the unboxing matters to repeat buyers and the reviews. Afternoon I source: thrift stores, flea markets, the occasional wholesale vintage bale, photographing finds and noting what I paid, badly. Evening I refresh listings, drop prices on stale pieces, and engage with my followers because the social side drives the sales. Once my sales crossed the reporting threshold I realized I have no real cost basis for hundreds of thrifted items, and that's a problem waiting for tax season.
