It's a decent app, but it would be nice to see prices on each item. It wastes time to have to look at each item individually to see it's price. Also, not every posting shows when or how long a post has been online. It would also be nice if there weren't any dealers or businesses online. Car dealers have blasted numerous vehicles in individual posts and makes it a challenge to weed through ads to find private sellers. Same with mattress businesses and others.
Reviews for OfferUp: Buy. Sell. Simple.
BIGGEST BATTERY DRAIN in the App store. Also the biggest use of TRACKING. In 4 days my phone reported 220,075 TRACKING ATTEMPTS from the offer up app. this app ALWAYS RUNS in the background. If you have SECURITY concerns (and you should) even if you just don't want to drain your battery you should consider not putting this on your device. Good Luck. I didn't think it could get WORSE but they added full page ads with sound. P.S. Now they added waymo ads with NO EXIT.
1. I hate that I have to click on something to see the price. 2. after choosing nearly everything that I'm interested in, I clicked on a car to see the price and now 90% of what I see is cars! 3. I tried clicking on a shoe to throw off the algorithm and now shoes make up 9% - the remaining 1% is random and ads 🙄 reviews say it's great for selling, maybe I should sell something🤷🏽♂️
Definitely changed, no longer a good place to sell. First time i was charged subscription fee, even thought they deleted my posts over my dislike of 3rd party having access to my phone. They refunded . 2nd chance, paid fee then frozen again because they cant have 24 location on me. This is major right violations. Tracking me 100% is their priority.
Has several drawbacks. Prices are not shown and one has to open an item to see them and then return to the main screen. Another problem is that there is no ability to post from a computer - posting is available only via the app. Also, items listed remain forever regardless if the seller is still active. In addition, it automatically signs one up for notifications, some of which are useless and intrusive.
1. It subscribes you to emails for each individual person you talk to on the app. It's obnoxious. 2. You have to select the product before you see the price because they took it off the main search page. Devs are morons. 3. There's no way to filter old the old products that won't get replies. 4. Constantly reloads so you lose what you were looking at and have to hunt it down again. 5. Clunky and bloated for user navigation and notification within the app. 6. ⚠️Scammers everywhere!!!⚠️ Beware.
Cannot make an account. It says I already made one. This message will not leave. Customer service was not helpful. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and the message went away. Now I keep getting notifications even though I have them turned off. I still get notifications while all notifications are off. I am unable to rate buyers who show up several hours late or never show up at all. the worst part about this app is so many people waste your time, but you can no rate them, so they keep doing it.
Used for about 3 months . My experience with messages about items was like this: 1)people would seem interested in an item then when I respond they never write back. 2)people would offer $20-45 less on an already fairly priced item (item for $70). One person offered to pay the $70, then when I asked when can they pick it up they asked can they have it for $50. 3)some messengers seemed scammy. New account,changing where they live, fake sounding name, etc. Very few messages in 3 months as well.
As if OfferUp doesn't make enough money off of sales, they force non-skippable video ads on you while you browse for stuff to buy. I just force close the app and go to eBay when that happens - it's insane. I can't imagine a company taking a cut from every sale through the app would need to sell out to low-quality mobile advertisers yet here they are, doing just that.
This app is a shell of what it used to be. Random full screen ads play while browsing and virtually zero sellers are active. They don't display when an item was listed, when a seller was last active, nor automatically delist years old items. I've tried ordering ~5 shipping items and not a single one has even had a seller response. I've sent 10 messages for local items and also not a single one was responded. Unfortunately the platform is just so much worse than it was 8yr ago.
