Media from reviews





Why can't I sell from my computer?
- - OfferUp only lets selling via smartphone app, not on a computer.
- - They report zero support and question privacy and the app requirement.
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?
- No help
- Cant use the computer
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution

Verified Reviewer |Unwillingness to rectify a mistake made on the part of OfferUp and ignoring me as a OfferUp platform user no company is too big
- - The account was suspended without an explanation.
- - Lack of support response caused frustration and prompted posting reviews.
My OfferUp account was recently suspended. I knew I hadn't done anything for this to take place.
However, I contacted them many, many times, and the more I contacted them and they did not respond, the more angry I got. I've talked to several people who have had the same issue. When they can't give you an explanation for the suspension of your account, they ignore your request for communication with their staff. So now I'm leaving bad reviews everywhere I can, and there are a couple of reasons: one, it does cost money when they do that, and they don't have a reason to do it; and the frustration of not being accountable on the part of OfferUp is definitely reason enough to leave angry reviews on other platforms.
So people can see, and OfferUp can feel the pressure of conducting bad business. On to my next platform.
- Offerup is an exceptional sales platform for small business entrepreneurs
- Only recently their refusal to rectify a situation where they clearly made the mistake
Preferred solution: I would like to get a rectification of my account but more than anything I would like for them to not continue ignoring me and my emails and deliver me the customer service that I deserve
User's recommendation: My recommendation to future customers is that should there be mistakes and unprofessionalism on the part of OfferUp that they hold them accountable with as much notoriety as possible
Scamming customers
Scamming people forcing them to subscribe to expensive items no customer service support or number to caa
I'm having problems with the app. Specifically with downloading a photo.i tap on photo button and nothing happens. Could some one check on this app to see where the problem is? Thank you.tracytrotter2
When I try to download a photo, the photo button does not respond..please check the app. Thank you.tracytrotter20@***.com
Can't get into my account.
- - Logged out unexpectedly; password reset emails never arrived.
- - Three chats over two days, reinstalling app and rebooting the device yielded no help.
Woke up yesterday and tried to check my account. Had been logged out (I did not do it) can't remember my password.
Try to do password reset. Receive no email. 3 chats over 2 days, delete and re install app, restart my phone. No emails, dozens of tries.
If no emails come thru why am I waiting for customer service to email me in 1 to never days? Meanwhile for some reason I keep getting notifications of my messages that I can't open. I was in the process of buying something.
Also more than half the ads on there never get a response. Terrible app.
User's recommendation: Don't use unless you absolutely have to.
Resolved: Rip off
- - OfferUp takes payment and deletes posts.
- - They can't explain what happened and blame posts as dangerous material.
Offer up takes money then deleted my post immediately. Like it never happened.
You cant call them you have to deal with the issues on line.
When they cant explain what happened its your fault for posting dangerous material, like coffe tables and motorhome covers. The real danger is in taking a chance and posting with OfferUp to begin with.
User's recommendation: Don’t use offer up
SCAM THEY STILL YOUR MONEY

Verified Reviewer |Worse customer service
I sent something to a buyer, and OfferUp canceled after it was already sent. Now I am not getting paid.
The buyer said he would Zelle the money. I have nothing.
Preferred solution: Full refund
Do NOT get involved with OfferUp
- - A minor could set up an account without consent.
- - A person from Latvia scammed $250.
- - There is no live support and the platform is insecure.
This company is horrible. My minor son was allowed to set up an account and do business with adults without my consent or knowledge.
He got scammed out of $250 by a guy ftom Latvia. This platform couldnt be less secure.
No way to talk to a live person about it or anything else. Stay away from this company.
User's recommendation: Do not do business with OfferUp

- - Did not receive the item I ordered
- - Tracking hasn't updated since 9-3-2025
- - Opened a case for a lost package (ID 21268****); no support reply.
I never received an item that I ordered. Tracking has not updated since 9-3-2025, nearly a month ago!
I opened up a case (purchase protection ID 21268****) for the package being lost, but Offerup support has failed to respond. I have emailed them as well but no response.
User's recommendation: User a different buy/sell platform.

- - Customer reports difficulty contacting a human agent; AI keeps prompting.
- - Same information is requested repeatedly with no new help.

Verified ReviewerResolved: No support
- - I had recurring account issues.
- - I wasn't comfortable with them having my driver's license, but they said it's required to buy and sell.
Maleka was the best representative I had through this whole issue she finally fixed the issue for me thank you Maleka. Ask for Maleka.
I was having issues with my account, the same issue over and over and over and over. They finally told me I had to upload my driver's license ID in order to keep my account. I told them I was not comfortable with them having my driver's license, and they said that's the only way I could be able to buy and sell.
- Great if you can use it
- Having to do the true you to be able to buy and sell not everyone has to do that
Preferred solution: My account back without having to show my driver's license
User's recommendation: Use Facebook marketplace. No ID required

Verified ReviewerI never advertised on your site. I attempted to advertise a dress. I obviously didn't do it correctly, because it never appeared. I give my own lack of tech skills credit for this.
- - I did not receive the item.
- - I was charged $19.99.
- - I need details on the fee structure and whether it is yearly or charged per advertisement.
I never got the item advertised, but you did take 19.99 out of my bank account, which is more than I was asking for on the dress. Is this a yearly fee.
Is this charged every time a person advertises an item? I need to know more about your fee structure.
Tried to get an answer about a QR CODE
All I am getting is some weird BS. I am supposedly a winner for $100.I told the first lady and then the man after she hung up
All they wanted was all this info. They will not give you the answer until they obtain your info the OFFERUP already has.
2 phone calls and NO answer?
Has anyone been helped?
Can anyone tell me where the QR code is and how to download it?
User's recommendation: It must be based out of India, they want to gift me $100 from China? WTF

I couldn’t find my delivery is almost 3 months she charge me $56.84 for AiriPhone
OfferUp is useless because when you try to use it and look at stuff it's from 4 years ago who the *** wants to look at all the stuff that isn't for sale.
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.

So you want a Kindergarten for business ?
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.
I agree. That is friggin lame.
I can post better ads and do it faster from my computer. 1 Star is all they get.
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
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!
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.
*** offerup, it's ran by idiots
true
I can not even log on from my PC. I will not switch to using my phone.
I will use Facebook market place instead. Thanks for nothing Offerup.
i used to post from computer but recently the option is gone!
Damn Straight - phone is for Calls
yes, they bought letgo and changed their garbage platform. i never used the apps in the phone, i am a pc user, they are so blind they do not realize the flow of buyer traffic they are losing, not everyone has a smartphone
OfferUp is yet another example of the world addicted to cell phones. These sites seem to allow full use via a PC/windows, but then when you go to buy or sell suddenly you discover that an "app" and a cell phone are required. So frustrating.
Something is very odd with this app. Had the same problem cannot use my computer so we used the phone.
Once they had all my info i got lick out impossible to get back in! Wrote emails, they reply saying it’s fixed but still have the same error message ! They don’t have customer service phone line ! At the end we lost the clients and we do not know where all our personal information went!
They getting a lot of peoples information but we cannot contact them?
That is very odd. Are they in USA?
after buying letgo, they are trash, sad they were a good site with no spam, bought letgo and they are nothing but spam, scam and no shows, you waste your time selling on here. i moved to mercari and fb marketplace and my sales tripled with shipping
