Photography — The Most Important Factor for Depop Sales
Photography quality directly correlates with sale price on Depop. Wear clothing to show fit. Use natural lighting. Include detail shots of tags, condition issues, and unique features. Interesting backgrounds outperform plain backgrounds for vintage fashion — aesthetic matters as much as the item itself.

'Vintage Tommy Hilfiger striped polo' dramatically outperforms 'polo shirt' in search visibility. Research successful comparable listings' tags to find what buyers actually search.
