Trash app Trash app. Posts that are nearly 2 years old or more proliferate the search results. Scammers and dead posts. Don’t waste your time.

They will delete your account once you file complaints on them OfferUp really is proving to be the worst app. I have never had issues with this app until recently. I think I am being punished for filing a complaint with BBB Because my account was deactivated without me violating any guidelines. Disappointing Customer Support and Unjust Account Deactivation I’ve been using OfferUp for my business, “I.G @ Hair Haven SF,” where I sell beauty products, mainly wigs. Recently, my experience with OfferUp has been nothing short of frustrating recently. First, I encountered glitches where multiple customers placed orders, but I never received shipping labels or notifications. After contacting customer support during business hours, I didn’t get a response until much later with a generic message. I was informed that my orders totaling $429 had been canceled and was told to ask the buyers to repurchase, which was supposed to fix the issue. It didn’t work and no time frame was given. I reported the issue several times, only to receive the same responses. Eventually, I was told OfferUp was aware of the problem and working on it, but no timeline was given. After filing a complaint with the BBB, I received a response claiming the issue had been fixed. Unfortunately, a friend who tried to reorder couldn’t even find my account after her order was canceled. To make matters worse, I then received an email stating that my account was permanently deactivated for violating community guidelines—without specifying which guideline I supposedly violated. Prior to deactivation, I had a pending balance of $213, which I haven’t received, and no clear explanation of what went wrong. I’m incredibly disappointed with the lack of transparency, the delayed responses, and the negative impact this has had on my business. I hope OfferUp addresses these serious issues to avoid further inconvenience to their sellers because just because I filed a complaint doesn't mean my account should be deleted.

Does nothing to protect you from scammers. If anything they enable scammers.

Never Never. Worst experience ever I closed my account because it was useless. Scams, stolen items being sold including my bike. No one would help me. You can't get a person and the responses are stupid with the automated chat.

Banned cause of a scammer I caught a scammer on offerup and called him out when he was trying to scam me. And before I could report him the scammer reported me and it was me who they close my account and banned from a profile I worked so hard to have all 5 stars and over 160 reviews and thousand followers. And one idiot and offerup screwed me over. Worst site ever

Awful Experience After many months of purchases and sales, and only perfect five star reviews, Offer-Up sent a notice that my account was being immediately and permanently deactivated for "breaking guidelines or community standards." No further explanation and no reply to my further inquiries and appeals except that the site reserves the right to permanently terminate accounts without warning if someone "breaks guidelines or community standards." Absolutely no idea what I did and they will not tell me. Lost a lot of time and effort and transactions in progress. Heed everyone's warnings: DO NOT USE THIS SITE.

Data collection platform full of fake or stale years old ads that they won't remove.

Banned using a VPN with their service, poor communication as a company and no help when things go wrong with their service.

Not small business friendly I sold many items on Offer Up over the years, however when I started trying to sell items from my licensed business, I found that big businesses on Offer Up don't have to play by the same rules. They really do allow larger businesses to post what they want in any manner they want and if you follow the same template as these businesses, your listing is removed. Very poor and not very fair oversight.

I sold an Item through offer up. The seller changed their mind and wanted their money back. I agree to do the return however it’s taking Offer up over three weeks and I still don’t have a resolution or response from Offer Up. Their support CHAT does NOT work. It just gives you bogus answers to”rephrase your question “. There is No person to talk to. Hence no resolution. Customer service does Not exist. Do NOT sell or buy anything with this app unless it’s local buyer and cash transaction. The OfferUp app is completely unreliable and untrustworthy.

Offer-Up took my money now won't let me get refund. I bought something on Offer-Up and they took my money out of my account before the seller had shipped item. We'll seller notified me they had dropped the item and it was broken. I've been trying desperately to submit a claim for refund. After they make it almost impossible to find where to submit the request I finally reach where you write description and write everything out I hit the submit bar and all it says is "Something went wrong" over and over. It's not the seller fault, it's like Offer-Up is screwing me out of $57.00. Offer-Up is a rip-off. Edward M. Kirk

Complete Scam Terrible service and in my humble opinion a scam! After listing my furniture and paying a promotional fee, I was informed that my account was removed due to violations of our Posting Rules and/or Terms of Service. After a review of your account, they have agreed to restore the account. Your account is now active. Keep in mind, I've NEVER used this service or posted to this account before this week. When I explained this was an obvisous mistake, and asked for a refund, they refused!

Inconsistent guidelines First negative is how glitchy the app is. I have had it completely blank out on me on 3 separate occasions. The timing was terrible as I was engaged in sales/purchases/meet-ups all three times. Second issue is the inconsistency with the guidelines. Offer up will remove an item from your listing refer you to reread the guidelines and then repost an item if you determine that they made an error. It's really odd, the items flagged and there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Furthermore, of the item removals I have experienced- guidelines were met. I was able to get customer service to investigate and restore, but why? Shouldn't this be done BEFORE your item is removed and you are threatened with suspension?

LAME STAFF LOSERS SCAMMERS HAVEN...way back offer up was good, I get banned for reporting the scammers. I now make many troll accounts just to play with the few remaining real sellers and buyers. If offer up cleaned the site of scammers and years OLD post that site would be naked. rally boyz rule

Worst buy/sell app there is. DO NOT use it!!!! I have used it for year,s and had over 100 postings. Literally, every item I posted on OfferUp was also posted on Nextdoor, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist wth NO issues. Today, out of the blue, they just DELETED my account which took countless hours to set uo all the ads with numerous photos and descriptions! I asked why, and here's their pathetic non- response: OfferUp reserves the right to remove items or profiles at its own discretion with or without previous warning or education efforts. Any pending offers have been canceled and funds released back to the method of payment. It may take up to 10 days for pending authorizations to disappear or for refunds to fully process. If it has been longer than 10 days, please reach out to your financial institution. Please be aware that opening a new account once your account has been removed is not allowed. Thank you, OfferUp Support

Dont get mad get even I hate offer up so much because they allow the scammers to run the site. I get even By trolling the site hopefully warning and running off the remaining good buyers (fools) In time the site will fail, right now 5 year old ads and scammer spam are about 70% of The post. If offer up cleaned up all the crap the site would be bare.
