In reality this is usually a routine security check, not a ban, and most reviews clear within a few days. Here is what it means and what to do.<\/p>\n<h2>What &#8220;under review&#8221; actually means<\/h2>\n<p>A review is Depop taking a closer look at an account, usually triggered by something automated: a new shop selling fast, a login from a new device or location, a payout detail change, a buyer report, or a random verification sweep. It is a pause, not a verdict. Most of the time nothing is wrong and the review is just a box the system needs to tick.<\/p>\n<p>While under review you may not be able to sell, list, or withdraw funds temporarily. That part is stressful, but it is usually short.<\/p>\n<h2>How long does it take?<\/h2>\n<p>Reviews commonly resolve within a few business days, though timelines vary and there is no single guaranteed number &#8211; so take any specific figure as a ballpark to confirm, not a promise. You can often speed things up by completing any verification Depop asks for right away: confirm your identity, your email, and your payout details the moment they request them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Respond fast to any verification request or email from Depop.<\/li>\n<li>Do not create a second account to get around it &#8211; that usually makes things worse.<\/li>\n<li>Keep selling and shipping normally where you can, and keep records tidy.<\/li>\n<li>If it runs long, politely follow up with support and reference your case.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why crosslisters keep you sane during a review<\/h2>\n<p>Here is the calm that saves you: if your inventory only lives on Depop, an account review means your whole business is frozen. If the same items are listed on eBay, Poshmark, Mercari and Vinted too, you keep selling everywhere else while Depop does its thing. That is the entire case for not putting all your eggs in one platform. Nifty is how I keep one set of inventory live across every marketplace at once, so a review on one app is an annoyance, not an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>If a review ever ends with Depop asking you to move your business elsewhere, quickly rebuilding your whole catalog onto other marketplaces is a big, repetitive job &#8211; the kind of bulk migration I hand to Claude so I am not manually re-entering hundreds of items.

The best protection is a shop that lives on more than one platform, so no single review can put you out of business.<\/p>\n<p>New here?
