Etsy-owned Depop is going full speed ahead with new fee structure, expanding no selling fees to US after similar changes in UK earlier this year.

The fee structure changes and Black Friday/Cyber Week promos show consumer to consumer (C2C) reselling marketplaces are feeling pressure to appeal to sellers, not just buyers, as competition for in demand non-new in season goods, pre-loved fashion, and collectibles heats up.
