A lot of sellers who use Offerup aren't posting their "excpected" price, it's more like a "Hey I'd like to get this, but realize it's Offerup, so willing to take something lower". Not every item/seller does this, as some expect to get their listing price for every item, but most will take offers lower than listed (just don't be a dick and try ...
OfferUp is literally a thieving platform that fucks sellers out of money. I’ve sold several items that I was never paid for. The buyers paid the money for the items, but OfferUp will not deposit my money in my fucking bank. It’s been nearly 20 days since the last item I sold was received by the buyer, but I have yet to receive my money.
OfferUp messages only show in the app and in your email, it doesn't send as SMS (text) to your phone ...
Well you shouldn't made any payments outside the app. App wouldn't cover you if you send money to somebody. Offerup doesn't give the money to the seller , buyer has 3 days to inspect item and request a return in case of something wrong with item. Offerup uses PayPal and PayPal gives buyers protection.
The 12.9% is higher than I'd like, but OfferUp shipping is just as high. And being able to reach a larger market and not have to handle marketing, IT infrastructure, payment processing etc is worth it to me. Before OfferUp bought LetGo I had quite a bit of success between those 2 and didn't use eBay much.
It looks like OfferUp manages everything shipping related (in an oversimplified way as one can tell) and while there's indeed a "buyer protection" clause set up, it's very briefly written, and neither the length of coverage nor the clarity + extensiveness of the fine print is anywhere near that of PayPal, as an example.
When I created my first posting I got a “welcome” email/message from OfferUp. I still have the email, but if I click the “button” in the email I get taken to the message in the OU app, but there’s no way for me to respond to it.
I received an email from OfferUp to my main email box that says I have a $30 credit at GoNift from them. I've used the platform for a few years, but these days I almost never open emails at all assuming they are scams.
BTW, Offerup is NOT working. I ran 150+ tests to bring out Seller Replies and I did not receive ONE REPLY. I offered Full price, nice opening conversations, "I'm local to them", etc. but NOT ONE REPLIED over 8 months of trying. That = Offerup. Craigslist, Nextdoor, Marketplace, etc. ALL have replies and deals get done in timely manner.
OfferUp is not forcing you to join "Truyou", but giving you a choice to stay on the platform. You can choose to either join Truyou or to leave the platform (in other words, to stop using OfferUp). There are other e-commerce platforms you can use.
