The material public signals since late July remain eBay completing its Depop acquisition while keeping Depop as a distinct brand, and ThredUp posting second quarter 2026 revenue of $90.8 million with record Active Buyers before softening second half guidance for price-sensitive demand, according to the companies' primary releases covered in prior Mooselen Wire editions.

eBay Inc. said on July 30, 2026 that it has completed its acquisition of Depop, a consumer to consumer fashion marketplace with a Gen Z and Millennial customer base, according to an eBay press release. Fashion is already a more than $10 billion annual GMV category for eBay, the company said.

Vinted closed an 880 million euro ($1.02 billion) sale of existing shares late in April, a deal that put the Lithuanian resale marketplace above $9 billion, CNBC reported. EQT led the round, CNBC said, bringing in new backers Schroders Capital and BlackRock while existing investor Baillie Gifford expanded its position. The deal allowed current shareholders and employees to cash out but brought in no fresh money for the company itself, according to CNBC.

For two decades secondhand platforms competed on selection: more listings, more brands, more inventory. That race is ending. ThredUp, eBay, StockX, and Rebag are now working to differentiate on curated experience instead, deploying AI and celebrity partnerships to surface less and sell more, according to Business of Fashion reporting. The logic is defensive as much as strategic: when every platform holds millions of listings, breadth stops being an advantage and starts being a search problem.

Depop is removing the 10 percent selling fee it charged sellers and shifting the cost to buyers, who will now pay roughly 5 percent extra at checkout, the platform confirmed. The move follows a pattern Vinted set years ago: kill the seller fee to flood the marketplace with supply, then recover the take rate on the buy side where price sensitivity is lower.

eBay reported gross merchandise value of 79.6 billion dollars in 2025, a reminder that the largest resale-capable marketplace is not a fashion specialist at all. The pure-play resale names compete for a category eBay treats as one vertical among many, which is precisely why eBay is buying Depop to sharpen its fashion and younger-buyer position.
June 4, 2026
eBay agreed to acquire fashion resale marketplace Depop from Etsy for about 1.2 billion dollars, a deal aimed at strengthening eBay’s fashion offering and drawing a younger demographic, first reported as the largest resale deal of the period. Etsy exits a property that never fit its handmade-goods core; eBay gains a Gen Z-heavy fashion community it has struggled to build organically.
After eBay completed its acquisition of Depop on July 30, 2026, eBay chief executive Jamie Iannone said the combination expands reach with the next generation of buyers and sellers while Depop keeps a distinct customer experience. Depop chief executive Peter Semple called the move a new chapter and said Depop would continue delivering the experience its users value, according to eBay's press release.
