* Archive Your Listings: If you have valuable listings that you don’t want to delete, archive them instead. Archived listings won’t be visible to buyers, but you can restore them later if you change your mind.
* Sell Your Listings Elsewhere: If you’re sure you want to delete your Depop account, consider selling your remaining listings on other platforms such as eBay or Poshmark. This will help you recoup some of the value of your inventory.
