OfferUp

I believe they are profiting from them somehow. Otherwise why would they allow these postings to stay up for 10 to 20 days and why else when i take the time to report these ads do they still stay up even when I report them 5 times.

Every experience I've had with them so far has been a straight scam they they on post your posting they claim it's this and that and they take your money they do this repeatedly this is a criminal Enterprise at best

They don't flag ads, and they don't remove ads that are just there and no response by owners. Site is a joke. Nothing but fake ads. Watch out for Scams

Please be aware of this selling platform. You are better off, safer, to use CPlus or Letgo applications. Customer service does not exist. There are several complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Offerup will not respond to the BBB. They will not respond to customers. When there is an investigation, they do nothing. When you ship your money is held 5-10 times longer then stated. When you ask them what' going on, you are ignored.

There is far too many scams. There are cars for sale that you need to use a hot mail account to contact. If you check the same car will be listed in several states and cities. They always claim to be listing it for a relative. Then there are several ad's that have unbelievable prices. You will never get what you paid for. OfferUp will not help and apparently they don't have a department to report scams to. I never got my bongos and congas and got zero help from OfferUp the scam is back up@ OfferUp

I posted a fish tank to sell, because it had live fish in it, they removed the post. Stating I was not using there guidelines and selling live animals. Now, I understand there were living fish in the tank, but really. I am selling the aquarium, and everything with it. Which included the fish. People, if the tank goes, where would I put the fish. In the bathtub? I will never use this app again nor will I recommend it.

Incredibly lame that their developers can't even get the arrows for navigating pictures on a posting correct. The arrow on the left points to the right, and the arrow on the right points to the left. $#*! backwards! I have never seen another website that screwed up something so simple. OfferUp is the worst of the worst. A complete joke and embarrasment.

Sometimes you'll get lucky to find nice things like electronics at good deals, but OfferUp SUCKS. They do Absolutely Nothing to remove scammers even after you report them. There is litterally NO-ONE working for them except someone who owns the app and makes money by "items people promote". It's a free-for-all for scammers with fake ad's from everything from Cars, video cards, cell phones, amd gaming consoles. At least 50-60% of all ads on "popular" items are scams.

So I sold an item to someone in another state. I shipped it out With a prepaid label and dropped it off at USPS. So the seller messages me that I somehow cancel the order, which was very incorrect. Apparently, the post office had and scanned my item in and manually entered it into the system. I guess offer up works on a scan system were if USPS scans the item then it tracks it on their end? Anyway, the buyer ends up sending me a message that they received the item about a week later. Offer up and refunded them their initial deposit and I get nothing. I sent offer up an email and all they said was that it was basically my fault because I waited until after the grace period to mail it out, which again was incorrect. I sent out the item within the given dates. The post office wasAt fault for not scanning the item in on time. Stay away from offer up. Now I'm out about $100 and offer up is not taking responsibility. Someone out there has my item and got it for free.

I get why people are upset - but it's not the app's fault... There are plenty of people out there that say they want something, and then just stop messaging...
If you expect that, then it doesn't matter when it happens. I don't go out of my way to sell something and make sure I have something set up before I go pick something up but all in all, it's great! I've sold a lot of items that I otherwise wouldn't have, have sent / shipped items, and just used common sense to protect myself...
The app is great!

Bought a car on Offer Up from a Man in my town. He gave me a title, I had the car towed to my home. When I went to resell the car the Man had given me a photo copy of a title.
There is no compensation for my loss. Reported to Police and didn't get any help. I provided an address of the Home I met the man at and had the car towed, Still no help to get this thief. Shame On Offer Up. Reported this Man to Offer Up and he's still selling!

I sold something on offer up, they provided me with their own shipping label, the item was delivered back on march 29th and offer up never gave me my money, I have contacted them several times and only get the same:

They have blocked my account, so I can only continue to email them and keep getting this same answer. I know it's not much $48.00, but why does offer up think that they have the right to keep money that does not belong to them. They do not even respond to BBB. I hope someone files a law suit against their fraudulent business practices

Over the last month I have tried to purchase some camera equipment. 100 percent of the sellers I contacted were scammers. The tell you OfferUp won't let them accept your offer, they won't ship with offerup, they try and get you to text them, they want your phone number, they say there from a specific city and there not. It is way to easy to get scammed offerup and offerup does very little to vet the sellers. Make sure you have the seller take a picture of the item with your name on a piece of paper next to the item at least then you know the item exits. The only safe way to buy from offerup is in person. Good luck!
