eBay completed its acquisition of Depop on July 30, 2026. The announcement is about ownership, not changes: it doesn't say whether Depop accounts, fees or the app will change. On Nov 9 Depop ranked 17th on Apple's US free-app chart, and 4th in Shopping.
What the announcement says
- Depop will "operate as a complementary business, retaining its distinct brand, platform, customer experience, and culture."
- eBay's CEO Jamie Iannone said the goal is to "preserve Depop's strong brand, community, and product experience."
- The release says eBay's scale in "shipping, personalization, compliance, and trusted services" will help improve the buyer and seller experience, and Iannone said eBay will "explore synergies" between the two.
- eBay describes fashion as a category worth more than $10 billion a year in sales (gross merchandise volume) for the company.
