For most Canadian resellers in 2026 the real choice is between three platforms, not four: Vinted closed its Canadian marketplace on February 12, 2024. Of the rest, Depop charges sellers outside the U.K., U.S., and Australia a 10% selling fee plus payment processing, Poshmark Canada takes a flat C$3.95 on sales under C$20 and 20% on sales of C$20 or more with a prepaid label included, and Facebook Marketplace is mainly a local, meet-up channel in Canada, because Meta’s shipping and checkout help describes buying and selling across the continental United States. Pick Poshmark for shipped mid-priced clothing, Depop for lower-fee shipped fashion and younger buyers, and Facebook Marketplace for bulky or local items.

Which resale apps are available to Canadian sellers?
Depop, Poshmark, and Facebook Marketplace accept Canadian sellers, but Vinted does not. The Vinted Canada page says the Canadian platform closed on February 12, 2024, so any guide recommending Vinted to Canadians is out of date.
How do Depop, Poshmark, Vinted, and Facebook Marketplace fees compare in Canada?
Poshmark Canada uses a flat fee under C$20 and 20% above it, Depop charges 10% plus processing, and Facebook does not publish a Canadian selling fee for local sales. Every figure below is from the platform’s own page on October 3, 2026.
| Factor | Depop | Poshmark Canada | Vinted | Facebook Marketplace |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Available in Canada | Yes | Yes | No, closed Feb. 12, 2024 | Yes, mainly local |
| Selling fee | 10% of the item price, plus shipping if you do not use a Depop label (Depop fees) | C$3.95 under C$20; 20% at C$20 or more (Poshmark guide) | Not applicable | No Canadian fee published for local pickup sales |
| Payment processing | Charged separately (PayPal fees vary) | Included in the fee | Not applicable | Local sales are paid however you and the buyer agree |
| Shipping | Depop label where offered, or your own | Prepaid label included | Not applicable | Meta’s shipping and checkout help describes the continental U.S. |
| Promotion | Boosting fee of 8% outside the U.K. and U.S. | Sharing listings | Not applicable | Optional paid boosts |
| Best fit | Streetwear, vintage, younger buyers | Clothing, shoes, bags | Not available | Furniture, bulky, local, and kids’ items |
How much do you keep on a sale on each app in Canada?
On a mid-priced shipped item, Depop’s 10% leaves more than Poshmark’s 20% before Depop’s separate processing fee, while Poshmark’s flat C$3.95 is a large share of very cheap items. The labelled example shows the arithmetic.
Illustrative example
These are assumed prices to show how the fee rules work, not a forecast. Depop’s payment processing is left as “minus processing” because the rate depends on the processor.
- C$30 jacket on Poshmark: 20% × $30 = $6 fee, so you keep $24.
- C$30 jacket on Depop: 10% × $30 = $3 fee, so you keep $27 minus processing.
- C$15 shirt on Poshmark: flat $3.95 fee, so you keep $11.05 (the fee is about 26% of the price).
- C$15 shirt on Depop: 10% × $15 = $1.50, so you keep $13.50 minus processing.
- C$30 jacket sold locally on Facebook Marketplace for cash: no platform fee published for local pickup, so you keep $30 minus your time and travel.
Price the item, not the fee: a platform with more buyers for your category can still beat a lower fee.
Who should pick Depop, Poshmark, or Facebook Marketplace in Canada?
Choose by what you sell and whether you want to ship. This is a decision rule from the fee structures, not a ranking.
| If you sell… | Lean toward | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Clothing priced C$20 and up, shipped | Poshmark Canada | Prepaid label included; one simple fee |
| Lower-priced or trend-driven fashion, shipped | Depop | 10% fee instead of a C$3.95 minimum |
| Furniture, bikes, baby gear, or anything bulky | Facebook Marketplace | Local pickup avoids shipping |
| A mix | Cross-list, and delist the moment something sells | Avoids selling one item twice |
| Anything on Vinted | Move to the others | Vinted is closed in Canada |
What mistakes do Canadian resellers make choosing an app?
Canadian resellers most often follow U.S. advice, ignore the Poshmark minimum fee on cheap items, or sell recalled goods.
- Using U.S. fee tables. Poshmark and Depop charge differently by country; use the Canadian figures above.
- Listing C$5 items on Poshmark. The C$3.95 flat fee takes most of the sale.
- Planning around Vinted. It is not open to Canadian sellers.
- Selling recalled products. Check car seats, cribs, toys, and children’s items against the Government of Canada recalls and safety alerts database before listing.
- Meeting strangers carelessly. For local sales, meet in a public place in daylight.
Which tax rules apply to resale app sellers in Canada?
Selling your own used belongings occasionally is different from buying items to resell for profit, which is generally business income. Platforms can report seller information to the CRA, as explained in tax on reselling and gig apps.
If you resell as a business, add sales from every app together for the GST/HST $30,000 small-supplier threshold. Keep receipts for what you paid for inventory, as covered in record keeping. Packing supplies can be bought in bulk, such as poly mailers on Amazon.ca TODO-AFFILIATE.
