For the 3rd or 4th time in the year or less I've been using Depop, I've yet again purchased something from a verified user who is ACTIVE, has ACTIVE LISTINGS, POSITIVE REVIEWS - and not only do they NEVER ship my item (after a week) but they have not once responded to any comments, messages about where item is or what's going on, or even the Paypal dispute I had to open to get my money back. And guess what? THEY'VE BEEN ACTIVE EVERY DAY THE ENTIRE TIME (the app tells you on the person's profile when they were last active on the app) and what does Depop do? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. This EXACT scenario has happened to me several other times, and every single time the person is allowed to keep buying and selling without repercussions. Depop doesn't have standards - all they care about are ratings from dumbsh*t, useless, phone-addicted teenagers, like all of the ones who have tried and failed to scam me.
Also, enough with this "influencer" garbage. The only people who are considered "influencers" on Depop are all of the kids still living with their parents, not having to pay rent or work a job like the rest of us while they "build their brand" and "disrupt the industry" - because guess what? They have the free time and the complete lack of responsibilities to facilitate that.
