Delete a listing before anyone buys it
To remove an item you're selling on Depop, open the app, go to your profile, find the listing under "Selling", and tap the three dots in the top right corner of that item's card. Select "Delete listing" from the menu. The item disappears from your shop when ready and won't appear in search results anymore. Buyers won't see it, and you won't receive any offers on it.
You can delete a listing at any time — whether it's been up for one day or one year. There's no penalty for removing items, and you can re-list the same product later if you change your mind. Depop doesn't charge you to delete, and the action is permanent once you confirm it.
If you're deleting because the item sold elsewhere, delete it right away so you don't accidentally accept an offer from a Depop buyer. If you're deleting because you want to change the price or photos, you'll need to delete the old listing and create a new one — Depop doesn't have an edit function for existing listings.
Key Takeaways
- Tap the three dots on any listing in your "Selling" section and select "Delete listing" to remove it permanently.
- Deleted listings disappear from search results and your shop when ready, and buyers cannot make offers on them.
- You can delete a listing at any time without penalty, even if it's been active for months.
- If you sold the item elsewhere, delete the Depop listing right away to avoid accepting a conflicting offer.
- To change a listing's price or photos, you must delete it and create a new listing — Depop does not allow edits to existing items.
What happens to offers after you delete
If someone has already made an offer on the item before you delete it, that offer disappears too. The buyer won't be able to see the listing anymore, and they won't receive a notification that you deleted it — the item will straightforward vanish from their saved items and search history.
If you've already accepted an offer and the sale is in progress, you cannot delete the listing. You must complete the transaction or cancel the sale through Depop's resolution process first. Once the buyer receives the item and the sale is marked complete, the listing stays on your profile as a sold item — you can't delete sold listings.
Deleting multiple listings at once
Depop doesn't have a bulk delete feature, so you'll need to delete each listing individually. Go to your profile, tap "Selling", and delete one item at a time by tapping the three dots and selecting "Delete listing".
If you're clearing out your entire shop, this takes longer, but it also gives you a chance to reconsider which items you actually want to keep. Many sellers find it useful to delete slowly over a few days rather than all at once, in case they change their mind about a particular item.
Why you might not see the delete option
If the three-dot menu doesn't appear on a listing, the most common reason is that the item is currently sold or has an active offer pending. Check the listing's status — if it says "Sold" or shows an active offer, you'll need to wait for the transaction to complete or cancel the offer before you can delete it.
Another reason the delete option might be missing is if you're looking at a listing you've already deleted. Refresh your profile by swiping down on the "Selling" section to reload your shop. If the listing still appears after refreshing, try closing the app completely and reopening it.
Re-listing an item after deletion
Once you delete a listing, you can create a new one for the same item whenever you want. You'll need to take new photos or use the old ones if you saved them, write a new description, and set a new price. Depop treats it as a completely new listing, so it won't have any history or reviews from the previous version.
If you're re-listing because you want to lower the price or add better photos, the new listing will start fresh in Depop's search algorithm. This can actually be helpful — new listings sometimes get more visibility than old ones that haven't sold.
Deleting listings on the Depop website
You can also delete listings from Depop's website instead of the app. Log in, go to your shop, find the item you want to remove, and click the three dots next to it. Select "Delete listing" from the dropdown menu. The process is the same as on the app, and the item disappears from both the app and website when ready.
Some sellers prefer using the website because it's easier to see multiple listings at once and manage your shop on a larger screen. The delete function works identically on both platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I undo a deletion?
No, deletion is permanent. Once you confirm "Delete listing", Depop removes it from your shop and all search results. You cannot recover a deleted listing, so you'll need to create a new one if you change your mind. Make sure you want to delete before you confirm.
Will buyers be notified if I delete a listing they're interested in?
No, buyers won't receive a notification. If they've saved the item or made an offer, they'll straightforward see it's no longer available when they try to view it. They won't know whether you deleted it, sold it elsewhere, or removed it for another reason.
What if I delete a listing by mistake?
You'll need to create a new listing for the item. Depop doesn't have an undo or recovery option for deleted listings. If you deleted it very recently, try closing and reopening the app to see if it reappears, but this rarely works. The safest approach is to re-list the item with the same photos and description.
Can I delete a listing if someone is currently messaging me about it?
Yes, you can delete a listing even if a buyer is messaging you about it. The listing will disappear from their view, but the conversation will remain in both your inboxes. If you delete the listing, let the buyer know through the message thread so they understand the item is no longer available.
