At a glance

Depop Removed Listings (24h) is the alert that fires when Depop takes down any of your listings in the last 24 hours. Removals usually mean a policy or content flag: a prohibited item, a brand or counterfeit issue, a banned keyword, or a photo that breaches guidelines. Even one removal is worth investigating, because a spike can signal a pattern that risks the whole shop’s standing if it continues.

Calculation

The card counts listings removed by Depop within a trailing 24-hour window and lists the affected items. Vortex IQ reads listing status changes from the Depop integration; the removal reasons surfaced depend on what Depop exposes for each item.

Worked example

A representative reading of Depop Removed Listings (24h) for a typical branded-resale shop on Depop. On 21 Jun 26 the alert jumped from zero to four removals in one afternoon. Vortex Mind grouped them and found all four shared a brand name in the title that had been flagged for authenticity. Rather than relist blindly, the seller revised the descriptions to remove the disputed claim and added proof-of-purchase photos before relisting. No further removals followed and account standing was unaffected. To review what was taken down, ask Ask Viq for listings removed by Depop in the last day with their reasons.

Reconciling against Depop

Where to look in Depop’s own dashboard: Depop notifies you of removals in the app and may show the reason against the affected listing. Reconcile by matching the Vortex IQ list to those notifications for the same 24-hour window. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ: Cross-connector reconciliation: read removals with feed-validation failures and listing quality to find shared causes.

Known limitations / merchant FAQs

Q: How often does Depop Removed Listings (24h) update? It evaluates against a trailing 24-hour window and refreshes on the standard data refresh. New removals appear on the next refresh after Depop records them. Q: One listing was removed. Should I worry? Investigate the reason, but a single removal is usually a content fix. The real alarm is a cluster in one window, which often shares a root cause you can correct across listings. Q: Can I just relist a removed item? Only after fixing the cause. Relisting the same content that was flagged tends to be removed again and can escalate account-level scrutiny. Address the policy or content issue first. Q: Can I customise this alert? The alert fires on any removal in the window. Related thresholds, such as feed-validation alerting, are configurable in the Alert Rules tab.
