OfferUpReviews 868

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

If you look at the reviews it's 1.2 Stars I think it should be more like zero Stars and it's not the people using the site ultimately OfferUp should have a rating system that includes negative feedback just like eBay and other websites. Basically offer up is enabling these people to do whatever they want without any repercussions... the reason I am so irritated is that I personally wasted 2 hours driving somewhere and the people assured me that meet up would be no problem they never answered their messages and there is no accountability to hold them responsible for wasting my time my gas wear and tear on my car and just because of the fact they're so arrogant and inconsiderate. I have wasted enough time and learn my lesson that these fools don't deserve my business and I will go elsewhere and this is a warning to everyone else that is tolerating this nonsense don't kid yourself it will happen to you and until OfferUp proactively monitors and includes negative feedback this nonsense will continue... I can only hope that enough people read this and leave OfferUp and give their business to someone else like eBay or Amazon that deserves it and that once Integrity in their website. I urge a boycott of OfferUp to give them negative publicity and force them to act..

They removed my account without any reason so I contacted customer service to ask about the problem. After a few days, I just got the email said I violated the policies with no explanation/information. After that, they ignored my email asking about which violation was. Sucks customer service, yes because they have a lot of users so they didn't care about the customers anymore.

I have been scammed several times using offerup.
Once I saw a carbon fiber tripod which was worth around $300 selling for $50. So I contacted the guy and arranged to drive 80 miles in order to meet him. When I was about 5 mins away from meeting him I checked the listing again and he had changed the price to $150! Once we met I said the price was agreed at $50 but he said his girlfriend told him he was giving it away and it was worth way more so he wasn't willing to sell it for less than $150. He knew at this point I had driven 1.5 hours to meet him and I was invested in time and gas so I was forced to agree to the $150. I felt he had used a scam to get me there and then bait and switch.
Another time I bought a brand new never used Nikon brand camera battery for my professional camera that sold for $140 + tax retail. This lady said she had a never used one brand new with packaging for $35. She said she sold the camera that she bought it for so she couldn't test the batter but I figured it was worth the gamble so I went. I again drove around 1.5 hours to meet her and buy the battery with cash for the stated price. Upon returning home and trying the battery out it turned out to be dead and wouldn't charge. It looked brand new but had been sitting dormant for too many years and became unusable. I messaged the lady and told her the battery was no good but she didn't respond to the three texts I sent her and I wasn't about to spend $25 in gas and 3 hours of my time to go get a $35 refund.
It seems eBay is more trustworthy because you can always open a case if the seller doesn't take the item back if it is dead on arrival. And since you pay with PayPal you will automatically get a refund. This is not the case when you meet someone face to face and pay cash. I have learned my lesson.

This is the worst app ever. Don't sign up or sell in Offerup. You will be scammed. Jealous $#*!s will flag your posting and Offerup, the piece of shut they are, will not check validity and just remove your item.

Offerup does not HELP you when there is a problem.
I will NEVER EVER use this App AGAIN
I let know right away & they still didn't help at all.
My loss, don't let it be you!

You register your credit card with offer-up to use for payment. After you confirm a purchase everyone ask for zelle, venmo or any other unprotected payment.

Their claim was that I went against community guidelines— but I've done nothing. I sold a checkered bag that was not a knockoff— but just a bag with checkered print. There was no infringing on copyrights no logos nothing. They stood by their decision and said I would not be allowed to come back.

I used offer up successfully for many years. I just recently marked all items sold - haven't had any sales in 18 months. Previous years had unlimited sales - all my items are quality. TOO MANY commercial dealers on it now - all ads. Shame that developers let it go to pot.

I don't have a ton of items that I sell, but of the eight or nine I do have currently, I've gotten one, ONE message in the past 6 months. I tried their promotion option for three days which they claim will sell your item "2 Times As Fast" as without it (then walk back into that claim in the fine print). I saw no discernible change in engagement, and actually the first two of the three days, my "natural" engagement exceeded the number of hits generated by the promotion. A promotion I never saw mind you. I looked myself, I asked my friends to check and nothing.

And whatever you do, do not engage in that data mining bull$#*! disguised as a job board, I made that mistake and the constant spam started almost immediately. Sending me job claiming to be from the state of New Jersey (while clarifying in the fine print that they are in no way affiliated with the state of New Jersey, duh, the non.gov domain gave that away immediately). It took me a solid few days of getting spammed to stop it. I'm still getting trickles here and there but not like I did at first.

Stay away, this used to be a great app but whoever the greedy $#*! is that took it over is running it into the ground.

With every OfferUp update the app gets worse! Always new bugs and glitches (i.e. The recent 'permanent 1 message notification that wouldn't go away-now unable to scroll through your listings after posting unless you close and reopen app again). Constant issues with every 'new' update (which seems to be every week)! Why can't the developers get it right? App used to be much better-now is so slow too! Plus the addition of ads and that stupid promote plus pay option step they forced into the posting process is ridiculous…no use to email support-they are non existent as well. Hope they start reading reviews and get their act together soon!

Sellers beware. They will take your site offline when they thing you have violated there policies. No explanation or return emails. Facebook Marketplace or Ebay is where I sell. This site is no good.

Offerup should be delete. Those people are really stupid. The customer service is the worst they never respond back to any messages people send. A customer send me a broken item i report it to offerup customer service its been 3 months still no response from them. I hate this app dont get it poeple.

The app is full of deceptive sellers. You can't judge the true condition of an item until you receive it. By then, it's usually too late.

With the exception of 1 offer, everyone that contacted me was a scammer. I don't recommend this site to sell your items. Watch out for the fake cashier check.

I signed up for a 3 day free trial. I deleted my account but they still billed me through Apple Pay. I wrote to ask them what to do and they basically said "$#*! off". No refunds, no reintatement for 30 days of prepaid service. Total rip off

Offer up is a joke I rather use marketplace. They cancelled my site because I wanted to offer free food and money to local charities and people in need. Sad they worry more about filling their pockets than to help needy.

They make the same thing as they're sellers, and they don't cover all the shipping fees btw, I would have been more happier using someone else like eBay.this was a waste of time. They don't even have a customer service number smh
