1
Only purchase items through Depop. Do not buy from sellers who want you to make transactions off Depop and on a third-party payment app. In the event that something goes wrong, your Depop transactions are only eligible for a refund if your purchases are made in the Depop app or on the website.^{[5]

- Payments outside of the Depop app/website are prohibited and can get your account banned.
2
Purchase from sellers with good reviews. Check to see if other people who have bought from the seller are happy with their purchase. Their reviews can tell you if the items match the descriptions, if the seller ships quickly, and if the seller responds helpfully to questions and concerns.^{[6]

- In general, avoid buying from sellers who have a lot of negative reviews or very few reviews.
3
Carefully read the item description and look over the photos. To ensure you get the product you want to receive, check the item’s description to see if it has any damage or notes about how it fits. Then, ensure the photos match the description—if you see any damage that the seller didn’t note, reach out to them for clarity.^{[7]

- Be wary of sellers who don’t provide their own pictures of the item and only use stock images from the manufacturer’s website. Ask them to take pictures of the item so you know if it’s truly in good quality or not.
4
Contact the seller with questions before making a purchase. Simply reach out to the seller with any questions you might have about the product, like what it’s made out of and where it ships from. If you’re buying a luxury item, ask for proof of authenticity to ensure you’re getting the real deal.^{[8]

- Note: Keep all of your communication with the seller on the Depop app or website. This makes it easier to keep track of your messages in case something goes wrong.
5
Ask the seller to provide a tracking number and shipment updates. Getting a tracking number allows you to follow the item’s journey to you and stay up to date on any shipping issues. If a seller refuses to give you a tracking number, purchase from someone else.^{[9]

- Most reputable sellers message you when they ship your item and provide you with a tracking number, as tracking numbers help protect them, too.
