Before you start

  • The tracking number, read off the printed label
  • The parcel already handed over, or going today
  • The sale less than 10 days old

On iOS

  1. Open your sold items

    In the app, select My Depop, then select Sold.

    You should see the items you have sold, most recent first.

  2. Open the order

    Select the item the buyer paid for.

    You should see the receipt for that sale.

  3. Mark it as shipped

    Select the option to mark the order as shipped and add tracking.

    You should see a field for the tracking number.

  4. Enter the number once, carefully

    Type or paste the tracking number, then read it back against the label. Depop states "You won't be able to amend the tracking information once added".

  5. Submit it

    Confirm the entry.

    You should see the order marked shipped and the number on the receipt for the buyer.

On Android

    In that drawer, select the option to mark the order as shipped and add tracking.

If it goes wrong

The number went in wrong

Depop's rule is "You won't be able to amend the tracking information once added" (depophelp.zendesk.com, checked 13 September 2026). Message the buyer with the correct number, keep the drop-off receipt, and expect to support the order with that receipt rather than the field.

You cannot find Sold

It is in a different place on each platform: My Depop on iOS, Selling Hub on Android, Your selling hub on the web. The steps above are written per platform for that reason.

The order was sold on Depop Shipping

Then the Depop label is the one to use. Shipping it another way and entering your own number means "your order may be automatically canceled and refunded".

What happens next

Entering tracking is what stops the 10 day clock: with nothing on the receipt within 10 days of the sale, the order cancels and the buyer is refunded. Depop Protection stays with Depop labels, capped at $300 in the US, and excludes "items sent using any method other than a shipping label purchased through Depop", so on your own service the carrier claim is yours to make.

With I'd Ship That

One number, straight off the label

Buy the USPS or UPS label in the app and the tracking number sits beside it, ready to paste into Depop once. Weight comes from your saved product presets or from what you type once, so a repeat item needs no scale. Nothing is written back to Depop for you, which is why the steps above stay in your hands.

Buy the label

On iOS through My Depop then Sold, on Android through Selling Hub then Sold items, and on the web through Your selling hub then Sold, where the order opens in a drawer.

No. Depop says the tracking information cannot be amended once added, so check the digits before submitting.

Yes, on the receipt for the sale. That is also where Depop looks for it when the 10 day clock runs out.

After. The receipt from the counter is the evidence Depop asks for if the buyer says the parcel never arrived.
