Whether you call it billing, a system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most depop sellers in Birmingham stack up QuickBooks, Wave, FreshBooks, Square along with other platforms. That's $684/year in subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $3,420.

For depop sellers in Birmingham weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
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.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a depop seller's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a depop seller — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
