Week in Review — February 22, 2026

The Depop sale continues to dominate seller conversation, alongside the seasonal shift now fully underway toward spring.

Depop sale: reaction still processing

A week on from the announcement, seller discussion continues to focus on what the sale signals about Goyal’s strategic direction, given her direct prior connection to the business being sold. No further official commentary has emerged beyond the original announcement as of this writing.

Wedding-vendor scam confirmed circulating

Following Friday’s alert, several additional sellers reported similar fake partnership pitches this week, consistent with the pattern of scams attaching themselves to genuine, currently relevant seller goals, in this case, spring wedding season growth ambitions.

Spring wedding season planning underway in earnest

Consistent with our coverage this week, sellers in relevant categories describe actively working on new listings and revisiting last year’s performance data, a good, early start to what’s typically one of the year’s more significant revenue windows.

St. Patrick’s and Easter: modest but real early activity

A handful of sellers in relevant smaller categories report early listing publication already underway, consistent with the narrower-but-real opportunity we described earlier this week.

What we’re watching

Continued reaction to the Depop sale as more details emerge, and spring wedding season’s early momentum building through the rest of February.

Back next Sunday.
