Depop advertising fee?

[AshevilleJam]

Can someone explain what this fee is about?

I finally figured this out.  The advertising fee is Depop taking their shipping $ back and their commission.  So the money you get in your paypal account is what the buyer paid minus the Paypal fee.  Then the payment that comes out of your paypal account is the "advertising fee" which isn't really an advertising fee. It's the shipping and the commission to Depop.

So they don’t actually charge you the $8 ? It’s just the Depop shipping fee that the buyer actually pays? I’m confused. Thanks

Right, nobody has been able to answer this question 😞 it doesnt make sense, if the buyer is paying for shipping why would they take the funds out of OUR PayPal accounts.. Depop keeps over drafting my account due to this very reason! -8.00 of "advertising" taken out of a $12 order every few days is NOT OKAY.... 😕

Hi, when the buyer is supposed to be paying for the shipping why would it still charge our accounts? Why would they ever need to take as much as $8 out of our accounts for orders with $3.50 shipping that the buyer pays?
