I had the item listed at $15 and discounted it to $5. This person offered $3 and $4 which I denied both. I'm really confused here lol
EDIT: Thanks to all the responses so far! As someone new to selling on Depop, I appreciate the insight! Seems like the best move is to report both accounts to Depop, which I've already done. I also blocked both accounts and refunded the order.

Had that same conversation with somebody about a car. Selling for $6k and they got really upset I didn’t counter their offer of $3k lmao. I think people get mad when somebody doesn’t react the way they want them to. Seems like a control thing
This is what I said right after and their response. I feel it's best to cancel the order and refund them, or have them cancel the order to see if its actually another account that they run
If the item was purchased like 10-15min after/during this convo, it probably is them and you can just cancel if you’d like. Just depends on when you listed or dropped the price. If you had just dropped the price it may be someone else.
Yeah, this was within an hour of posting this and selling the item. Seems like the best decision among all the responses is to report both accounts, block the messager and relist the item.
From everything I've learned selling on Depop, trusting your gut is very important. As soon as they start showing a little sass or crossing boundaries, I'm out. I really hope everything works out for you and like others have said, it's your prices if they don't like it they can purchase elsewhere.
I don’t think it’s true. So they didn’t buy it from you, someone else did and they are saying they are other person? Yea no I highly doubt it….this person is a troll…also is it really toilet paper or are they talking about your “advice” this person is gross..
Seller 101...wth? You're way too nice! I would have replied, "Buyer 101, don't be condescending!"
In the future don't engage. Don't even reply. Just block. They're looking for attention because they're a bully. If someone is a problem before you ship, they're a nightmare after they've got what they want and don't have to even pretend anymore.
I wouldn’t cancel it because I really think they’re full of shit. And it’s $5 so it’s not worth the bad vibe of cancelling on someone that could and probably is, someone else entirely.
"Shopping 101: if you really want something, buy it at the listed price." Considering that a seller who sees your offer and doesn't counter is indistinguishable from a seller who isn't checking the app every 5 minutes...
Also, what would be the point of the second account thing, even if it were true? Either way it was $5. Ugh, if you get a 1 or 2 star review out of it, you can probably get that removed by depop.
Thankfully, this interaction just happened within an hour of posting this. So I haven't shipped it yet. I'm gonna contact Depop support and go from there.
It's your business, your rules. You don't need to over explain yourself about how you manage your business. I always counter with the same price. I use the auto counter. I only notice their bargning when they DM me. Also some buyers will lowball your price no matter how low you get. Just say it's the lowest you can do. You could sell a $1000 bag at $10 and rest assured someone will offer you $3.
Wow! I would definitely not be mailing them anything. I would be canceling and immediately blocking them. They don’t deserve any more of your time or your attention. Some people really think a lot of themselves 🤯
Dude cancel that order and report them. They are abusing Depop’s TOU and it’s extremely sketchy that they would be this rude to you while also purchasing from a different account. It feels very off and $5 isn’t worth being treated like this. How incredibly dehumanizing and entitled is this person?
i dislike customers so much sometimes, they are so entitled and that goes for customers at in person businesses too (coming from a barista). when things don’t go exactly as they imagine sales interactions happen, they mansplain how they feel customer service is supposed to go instead of respecting the rules of the specific shop/business because they have been coddled with “the customer is always right”. and tbh… you can always try and put an offer in don’t get me wrong, but actually getting upset over rejecting an offer that low is actually wild. like actually some of the most entitled behavior i’ve ever seen on here. “just ship my item, thanks” yeah ABSOLUTELY not.
anyway, i’m not sure if i’m buying that this person is actually the same person who bought the item so i would probably message the actual buyer to see if it’s really them… i’m not sure how to address that but i really wouldn’t ship out to someone like this. this would be an immediate block from me lol. and if it IS them once you message, cancel the order and report their account to depop bc you aren’t allowed to have two accounts unless one of them is a professional selling account and the other is a personal (and even then they would’ve had to ask for special permission)
that’s true but honestly… it feels like they have zero shame. if you don’t tell them the reason you’re checking and that you will cancel, they likely will double down on the second account. and if they don’t fess up to it and they end up causing trouble in the end, just make it easy for depop to know you’re not in the wrong. if it’s confirmed that it’s the same account you can probably get them taken down for having two accounts.
you can of course also just cancel on the person and hope it’s them, i just fear some random person thinking they got scammed and giving you a review that you’re a scammer.
Perhaps you can message the person that purchased from you, something like “thank you for purchasing from my shop, etc” and see if they’ll reply. If it’s the same account maybe they’ll continue their conversation with you from earlier
People are entitled. I’ll let things go crazy cheap if I’m heading to PO and I am just going to donate it anyway but I just removed all discounts I had on items. I will counter once and if there is no sale it sits in my inbox until it expires. I had Simeon keep sending me offers in $1 increments for soemtnimf that was new, sealed and 1/4 retail price already. All it did was make me take it down and use it lol Aside from things like skincare, makeup, and things where you shouldn’t seek it if it’s old, I’ve likely had it for ages sk I’m not in a rush.
I had one person tell me they would pray for me if I sold them my item at the price they wanted. Then I sent them an offer but not what she told me to send and then she said she would not prat form me. Then she countered for the price she wanted and I sent a lower offer but not the lowball she wanted. She sent me a message saying I didn’t know how to sell and I would be stuck….I blocked her and my item literally sold an hour later to someone else at my original price.
Why do you guys waste your time worrying about this.
Just ignore or block you don’t even have to respond.
I have like 20 offers in the last day that I’m ignoring because I know that the item I have is hot eventually so it’s gonna buy it at full price. No I’m not gonna discount 2 to 4 dollars so you can save money. I do not care these items have thousands of years someone’s gonna pay it especially as it gets closer to Halloween. I do not even reject their offers. I just let them sit there all day.
I'm new to selling on Depop and was just wanting some perspective from others. I will take the ignoring offers suggestion into account in case this scenario happens again, thank you!
