OfferUp

While it is possible to sell and buy most items safely using this app, it can be dangerous to search for a vehicle using the app. The site is flooded with advertisements like the uploads attached to this review. Multiple people selling the same vehicle using different names while advertising extremely low prices for extremely good-looking vehicles, can lead to you being scammed. I have not fallen for this, and I hope everyone who uses this Application, proceeds with caution. I attempted to contact the company with my concerns and received a standardized automatic email response which implies that Offer Up does not really care or make an effort to stop this.

Absolutely useless. Worthless. Dishonest. They sent Letgo users a pic of a new app with both Offer Up and Letgo names on the new app. Problem is, once you downloaded it, the OfferUp name and color was the only app. Any sign of Letgo disappeared. It was a con, a LIE to get Letgo users to download the OfferUp app. ALL signs of Letgo disappeared forever. Despicable and vile tactics. Very sleazy. Its nothing but the same, useless, garbage app it always was. They DIDNT merge with Letgo... they bought them out. Nothing transfered over, no reviews, no Letgo adds transfered over. Con artists. Liars. Rotten. A great app is gone and the lousy sleazy one stays. After 2 or 3 ads, the rest of the ads are 6 months, 8 months, a year old. 80% of their ads are expired LONG ago. They dont care about people selling things, they want you to order things from companies. God knows if any of them are legit. Its back to Craigslist and Marketplace for me. Goodbye Letgo, it was nice while it lasted.

I guess it is really not OfferUps' fault. I don't get the thrill of making an offer to a seller that you really don't want the item in the first place. I finally decided that my time is more valuable to me than to wait around for someone who isn't going to show up.
I decided I'd rather give the stuff to charity rather to some jerk (s) wasting my time.
Don't you idiots have something better to do? Are you really that board? Some people really need this income and to make false bids with no intention to buy is just plain wrong.

This app absolutely SUCKS! Today for the third time a buyer has agreed to an buy an item from me, negotiated a price and set up a meeting place and time only to back out at the last minute with yet another lame excuse. These wishy washy buyers suffer no repercussions whatsoever for doing this and all three times I had other offers that I turned down because I thought the item was already sold. Something has to change or I will never use this app again.

I have come into contact with several scammers while seeking to purchase a vehicle. I have reported each and every one. Somehow, they continue to post bogus vehicles for sale, while asking for money for vehicles up front. I wonder why OfferUp continues to allow these people to post with their personal email addresses, although they warn consumers to only deal with posters in the app. Why not flag all posters who try to use personal email? I have no confident in OfferUp. They allow the scams to continue.

After 5 days of no shipping I reached out to find that the seller listed an item they didn't actually have. OfferUp refused to return my money despite the seller cancelling the transaction. I'm also unable to leave a review for the seller despite them listing unavailable items and tying up my money.

I issued a credit card chargeback. Don't ever pay for anything online through OfferUp.

As a buyer, I'm always on time, follow through, and only ask for a deal on multiple items. As a seller, same complaints as others, people offer, don't show, don't respond, don't bother to check where I live. And the businesses take up all the space. I don't have time to deal with these flakes. EBay just seemed like such a hassle, but this site needs to ban these flakes as reported. They seem to ban others for no reason! I think people just have nothing better to do than mess with others. I have only met one good buyer! Disgusted.

This app has become the most useless app on my phone it never was like that when I'm looking for items near me the first things that pop of are on the west coast or someplace that has to ship stupid! And no my it's not because of my settings and way to many sponsors these company's OfferUp and let go have obviously sold out like I said most stupid $#*!ing app I had

They canceled an order as it was being shipped out to buyer and now the buyer has had the product more than 48 hours and i have yet to receive and kind of notice of payment because the order was canceled out by them... I cant get back in contact after sending multiple emails to there only for of contact with them you would think a company as big as them would have better customer service and at least a number to contact them on... I will never sell another Item through them ever again

I got scammed on Offerup by a man selling a washer and dryer. I asked in the message if the machines were working properly with no problems and I was told yes. When it didn't work the man said that he would replace it or give me my money back. He did not and ignored me from there. I filed a complaint with Offerup and they sent me a few generic emails that were no help. I can't sue because Offerup won't take action or give me his information so I can. They keep saying they will do something on their end that I won't see. I can't even write a review on the man because he didn't mark the items as sold. I also asked Offerup how I can rate him to warn other people and no response. Basically Offerup protects the scammers! Rating is a 0.

In a word Brothers and Sisters, don't. I lost money. Offerup has no phone system. Offerup is a racket. Example, you get two (2) days to return an item, they take four days to get back with you... and then tell you your time to return an item has expired... duh. I confronted the seller about the item she listed as "new, in the box, never opened". She told me to send the item back for a "partial refund". Since when does a seller get to be judge and jury? No doubt she thought she was doing me a favor. I'm not the only one to have this experience. May I suggest eBay. They have a free customer protection and it works very well, and eBay actually has phones with real people you can talk to.
I am a twelve year buyer and seller with eBay and have 100% positive feedback.
Twelve years of excellent eBay customer service, bravo!
Offerup are you listening?
Have a wonderful day, Doc
