This platform is rife with scammers. I made a purchase after agreeing on a price with the seller, and made the payment. I received both a confirmation from depop and paypal that the payment was received. The item was listed as purchased under my account. The next morning the seller sends me an offer for the same item that i had purchased (on the same thread where we negotiated price nonetheless) I checked both the listing on depop and the seller’s page and found the item i purchased was never marked as sold. The seller never responded to my messages until i had to contact customer support. At that time i found out that it was “sold” and the item i purchased a fraudulent listing. Out of curiosity i checked back to see if that item was still listed and interestingly enough the sellers account comes up as “no longer on depop”. How convenient. Fortunately i was able to get my money back, and their customer support was helpful. My main complaint is that depop allows sellers to continue to list items that are already sold and sell them to multiple customers. Why are items “sold” but still listed as available? I have been using Poshmark and Ebay for years and have never had such issues. Depop needs to do better…My one and only experience with them was horrible. Never again.
