Task-Specific Best Practices
Bump Items
Recommended Usage:
Frequency: 2-3 times per day
Selection: Bump all items or select specific ones
Timing: Morning (8-10am), Lunch (12-2pm), Evening (6-8pm)
Maintain Order: Keep enabled to preserve item arrangement
Tips:
✅ Leave product selection empty to bump all items
✅ Or select specific items for targeted bumping
✅ Keep maintain order enabled to preserve organization
✅ Run 2-3 times daily for best visibility
❌ Don't bump excessively (more than 4-5 times per day)
❌ Don't run bump tasks back-to-back
Auto-Bump (Pro):
Start with 12-hour intervals (conservative)
Available intervals: 1h, 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h
Monitor for any Depop warnings
Adjust frequency based on results
Relist Items
When to Relist:
Items listed for 30+ days
Items that haven't sold despite bumping
Items that need a fresh start in the algorithm
Best Practices:
✅ Take screenshots before relisting
✅ Select items strategically (not all at once)
✅ Relist during peak browsing hours
✅ Wait 24+ hours before relisting same item again
❌ Don't relist items with active offers
❌ Don't relist items with ongoing conversations
Like Products
Smart Liking Strategy:
Limit: Start with 24 products per run
Frequency: 2-3 sessions per day
Timing: Spread throughout the day
Types: Use regular "Like Products" or "Like by Keyword" for targeting
Tips:
✅ Use "Like by Keyword" with niche-specific terms
✅ Start with limit of 24, increase to 48-72 gradually
✅ Like products from users who might buy from you
❌ Don't max out at 96 products immediately
❌ Don't run excessive like sessions (keep to 2-3 per day)
Like User Products:
Search and select specific users to target
Likes all products from that user's shop
Great for engaging potential customers or similar sellers
Follow Users
Effective Following:
Follow Buyers: Automatically targets active purchasers
Copy Followers/Following: Search and select users to copy from
Target: Users with 100-10k followers (engaged audience)
Frequency: 2-3 times per day
Tips:
✅ Use "Copy Following/Followers" to target engaged audiences
✅ Follow buyers for highest conversion potential
✅ Target users with 1k-10k followers (active, engaged)
❌ Don't follow massive accounts (100k+ followers)
❌ Don't run follow tasks excessively
Unfollowing:
Unfollow Non-Followers: Cleans up users who don't follow back
Unfollow All: Removes all follows (with optional whitelist)
Use whitelist feature to keep following brands/favorites
Run periodically to maintain healthy follower/following ratio
