OfferUpReviews 868

I will try to make this as quick and concise as possible. I am 60 years old and I have done a lot of trading in my life and selling of automobiles and other garage type items. OfferUp tries to sell you on this idea of meeting people at agreed-upon locations, however I come from a Time and I don't think this ever changes when you like to see how a person and where a person lives for the feeling of security that you know where the item came from and they are happy to have you come out and they have nothing to hide just as I would welcome a buyer into my home anytime. I do not see how people could not come to the same conclusion is myself that it just seems so dubious, questionable, and highly suspect that you are going to meet in the parking lot of a Dunkin Donuts and exchange money and not know a thing about this person. And they could try to make it seem like the true you program they have going is just so magnificent. It's stupid and easy for people to lie and dr. Up. I was telling a hockey jersey that was a Stanley Cup jersey I met the man in Long Beach California and he grabbed the Jersey push me down and ran and OfferUp will tell you what did you tell the police did you tell us did you know the man? Of course not you wouldn't let me get his phone number or arrange to meet him at his house or him at mine. Bad bad idea and they'll try to sell you on some kind of crazy thing that I think they explained to me that well you know with robocalls and everything and people getting your phone number they could get your identity in your credit... that's not true

I've never had a problem in 6 months reviewing people or reporting people but at this point I have some c********** trying to annoy the s*** out of me. I tried blocking him wouldn't happen fix it or I will leave this company

I bought a vhs for 10 dollars from someone called lilo and stitch. I get it in the mail its a counterfeit and says Milo and stitch on the vhs. I write the seller he says he thought it was a misprint he bought it from a garage sale he noticed it and he will refund. So I contact offer up to see what we do next and I get a run around. Instead of confirming this issue through messages which seller knew about he asked for a photo. So I take a photo of where it says milo and stitch and shows a sticker on it showing its counterfeit. So he wrote back next day saying need a image of packaging too. Really? Is the image of i saying milo and stitch on a printed sticker on the vhs not enough? What about the seller knowing this before sending? Not enough? Just look at my messages im not lying the seller noticed it to he just didnt realize what it was. So I disputed with my bank and closing my account. If I cant get help on a 10 dollar item I would not buy anything of value on here. Never use this site again.

At first this was a great neighborhood resource for selling but has been taken over by autos bought from from auctions, multiple same listings- just beware that a lot of these items are technically not owners. Multiple listingReported 3 times about the same tires listed 100 times- yes 100 times but still not taken off?! Just a hint before you buy. Look at what that individual has sold or is trying to sell. Is they 50 cars sold or listed they are really a dealer who buys unwanted vehicles from actions. Yikes!

I paid for to a car on offerup which stated contact thru email and the seller replied back with full car information then had Ebay send me a invoice so I paid $1700 which included shipping to my house. I was Scammed and car never showed up at all. The bad thing is I reported straight to offerup and they Permanently Deleted my account for getting scammed on there web site. The other thing is offerup has no way of stopping the scammer ever if you report the scam department. I really think the scammer work for offerup. Scammer list same car or truck thu out the 50 states on 1 user account. When you see any car or truck that look perfect with low miles under 115k and price that states $1700 or lest is the SCAMMERS. Offerup Beware

Offer up is great as long as the seller to true legit. Awhile back my boyfriends 20" was stolen from in front of a store, I kept telling him to not give up and to keep looking well sure enough almost one year later a 16 year old punk posted up my man's bike. We went and got his bike from this kid, and I reported to offer up that the post was a stolen bike they needed to one remove it, and request bicycle sellers to disclose the serial number to trusted personal with offer up so a check could be ran through bikeindex.com ensuring they are not promoting the sale of stolen goods. It took 2 months before they agreed to remove the post even after I sent them a copy of the police report. Clearly they dont care in sure they would if they themselves unknowingly got caught in possession of stolen property.
So just be aware of what you're buying before you buy it.

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

The site is garbage now forcing users to subscribe to Trueyou just to respond to people. First off I put my credit card information on file for payment options and for others to make a payment. Why do I have to provide identification and pictures. I had not even used the credit service at all as of yet anyway. This site is a joke. Stopped any potential sales by forcing me to join true you. I unsubscribed, no business is forcing me into anything. They're are other sites just like this one.

So now they made it so I have to join "True You" to use the app or communicate with anyone about any item at all! Meanwhile They keep alerting me about stuff I can't buy. I can't even communicate about my stuff for sale. So I'll just leave my reviews up while I wait and find new sites to leave reviews, while they keep reminding me to do that with all those alerts. :) They were fine with taking $100 off my card without me being a "True You" member, but I can't contact the guy a block away selling a lawnmower without joining?
