Why can't I sell from my computer?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

OfferUp doesn't let me sell things using my computer. They only allow me to use my *** smart phone!

I don't want that *** on my phone! Why don't they let me sell stuff using my computer, the way I do everything else in the world? This is so damned frustrating!!!!! And they have ZERO help available, no way to reach a human.

So you are just stuck in their limbo forever. Are they trying to get an App on my phone that does other things?

Are they snooping my contacts and messages? Why do I have to use an "App" to do this?

would like to contact the administration of the OfferUp company and those who monitor the site, if any rules are violated. I like to buy and sell on your site, but for some a reason I don't understand, my account was a terminated.

-I think there are envious people who write some complaints, or something to the site administration, so that you close your account. I know that I did not do anything Against the rules, Offer Up site. I'm familiar with the rules, but anyway my account was closed.. I'm very upset because I've been on eBay for over 18 years and have no problems with the administration, not with clients.

The way you act, it humiliates the person and leads to depression. Before closing an account, you must notify and explain what the member has done against the rules. You should have special lessons that provide information about the correct bargaining and buying on the site. The seller spends a lot of time to exhibit their products and have the confidence and interest of the buyer, and in one moment you destroy all our work.

-This is not correct, and this behavior is not acceptable in a normal business society. -Also you should give a chance to the seller and the buyer to rehabilitate at least once or twice, after the account is closed.

I am currently dealing with the same nonsense. I am writing letters to the executives within the company now and will be referencing your post.

www.ask.offerup.com ...well, my Samsung cell phone is too old to upload the OfferUp app. So, I went onto YouTube, to see if there was a workaround for my desktop; found that & applied the workaround to my desktop.

Got set up; downloaded pictures and descriptions of my items and waited...I was asked to "try" TruYou to further establish my identity, but I just wanted these sales exchanges to be local and with cash, and with as little data exchange/recognition as possible, for safety reasons. Yesterday, I received an email about my OfferUp account that I have to fill out the TruYou verification (to prove that I am not a bot, acc. to a fellow OfferUp person, doing sales); otherwise, my listings will stay in the "archived" area & no one will be able to view them. So, I hit the TruYou link and imm.

run into a roadblock b/c I cannot use my desktop to "scan" a picture of me...my desktop has no built-in camera, nor do we own a webcam. I could use my Samsung phone...it has a built-in camera, but, again, it's too old to upload the OfferUp app (and TruYou, concurrently)...hence, my using the desktop, in the first place. So, I make images of all of my notifications, my replies to the notifications and send an email to "support" who tell me to shut down and restart/reboot my account (which accomplishes nothing, b/c I'm still right back where I started). If that doesn't help, to "contact support." This time, I Google and find a support phone number (1-844-633-****)...which gives me a newish email link: www.ask.offerup.com And, nothing else.

I Google, again, and find another support phone number, though it warns me upon calling that this number may not be set up any longer for its original purpose. Well, I take a chance and call; and I am asked to hit buttons for free prizes...? But, nothing else. I am now composing a 2nd email w/same attachments and updates, to www.ask.offerup.com.

Not feeling very hopeful & am looking for a workaround to the facial scan...LOL, I took a previous one in January for my IRS client account...maybe I can substitute that on TruYou...? Stay tuned...

P.S. UPDATE: the email address www.ask.offerup.com did not go anywhere...my email service stated in the recipient link that it was "non existent/not supported"...

Completely agreed. Ridiculous you can't use the PC to post but ONLY the app

Guest

I wanted to sell on offer up, sure do miss let go. But all they want you to do is install the app., why?

I don't have enough to upload that app. I only wanted to sell some stuff. Why make it so difficult. Not sure.

But, you know I would never sell on offer up after all this.

I sure do miss Let Go, It was so easy. Bet, they wish they never purchased let go, Offer up sucks the big one!

Guest

I guess the fact that I don't understand the point of limiting sellers to posting via their smartphone is evidence that I'm ancient or something. There are other platforms that allow the poster to decide whether to use a PC, laptop, tablet or phone.

This seems much more democratic. OfferUp's approach is very strange to me.

Its a great app, but its not working anymore.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

So I've been using offerup for about 6 or so months and just within the last month it has stopped allowing me to send or receive messages. I have made two or three different accounts yet they all do the same thing even after I verify the emails for each account.

It will let me search every type of item and find them and I can technically "send" a message but it does not send. I sent a message on the app to my friend but he did not receive it and still has not.

I just hope that they fix it. This has also happened to my fiance but not her mother or anyone else I know.

Pros:
  • It when the app worked

  • That it started to screw up

I'm trying to reach a seller I had messaged before the merge and update on OfferUp, and it seems she isn't seeing my messages as it doesn't show the two white check marks. It looks like the seller has uploaded new things, but no response to messages or offers or even showing read. Idk what is going on, but I need to get ahold of the seller.

I have recently as of last night just experienced the exact same thing it's deleted all of my posting that I had up for sale I also cannot message anybody and have them receive it I've done new accounts gone to old accounts and it won't verify anything keeps saying network error are some other baloney crap

Guest

same here deleted my items and now on posting item network error. confirmed all other apps on my alcatel phone work.

Guest

This means that they have blocked you from using the app.... Usually they do this when you have violated terms of service, your account is suspicious to OfferUp administrators, OR most commonly it means people have reported you.

Offer up is with holding my money.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
OfferUp - Offer up is with holding my money.
I sold an item on offer up in January 2023. I mailed the item to the recipient and waited for my payment from Offer up. They notified me on January 20 that payment was approved but I needed to add a deposit account to receive that payment. They claim that the paid my bank even though their system still does not accept my deposit account. After 5 email requests. The still insist that they somehow sent money without ever receiving a deposit account that they have used correctly. So my money has not been paid to me.

Offer up charged my card for a monthly membership of $19.99. I did not authorize it and I will be looking into this with my son who is a lawyer. I am very upset. I have submitted a claim to my financial agency. The company OfferUp cannot use my Apple ID card without my consent. In regards to the photos that I sent. OfferUp, ask you to enter your financial institution information to give you a five dollar refund.Unreal . Something's wrong here! I will figure out whats going on, and my son will proceed in court.

There's no customer service phone number to better explain to someone what issue I had with a customer. I was only able to report her for her inappropriate disrespectful attitude.

I followed up about how I shipped off a digital camera to her and she claims the screws were loose, and that it won't turn on and took forever to respond to me after i asked her to text or email me.videos and pics . I don't know what she did to that camera but that camera was 100% working I never had no issues with it and it wasn't loose . I have 100% proof too! She quickly blamed the shipping people .

And then requested a refund . I don't know what to do . I don't want to receive a broken camera that I know was working . I don't know what she did maybe took parts off .

And offer up only replied to me about her disrespectful attitude and apologized for it . Nothing else .

That doesn't help . I don't want to get scammed !

I had purchased a straight-up Walker for $70.46 that was included with the $14.99 shipping and handling.. I've purchased that Walker on the 28th of November this is now the 3rd of December the seller has not bothered to ship it out at all did not respond to any of my messages offer up has it done anything so far as I know to fix the issue I demand a unapology a refund or there will be they will be facing a LAWSUIT if the issue is not solved I don't appreciate being taken advantage of and them insulting my intelligence they said that they would give that seller a 5-day window her 5 days is up she didn't ship out the item I want my refund and if they're supporting her stealing from the other customers then maybe OfferUp should be the one that be responsible for this because they are probably allowing the seller to destroy the customers then this is and also this will be the last time I've ever used OfferUp I do not like the experience and I'm having I'm very disappointed in their service.
