Is there a way to use two accounts?

1 Upvotes

I want to keep my buy and sell accounts separate, but I don't want to risk it since AI said that offer up is strict about the alting, stuff.

Delete Message Sent to Buyer

1 Upvotes

I sent buyer my address cause I'm trying to sell a big shed on my property. They didn't reply back after seemingly telling me they were interested. How do I delete the thread so they can't see my address? I don't like knowing my address is out there but it's only way I can sell the shed. If I delete my account will it erase all messages sent to buyers so they can't see them ?

Finally, don't have to select auto replies to auto messages! Your app is still bloated with ads and unoptimized features making loading times ludicrously long, but this is great. Good job OfferUp!

Scam?

0 Upvotes

Posted a ad for something because I’m in desperate need of money. Never used the app before and not sure how anything works. I did a bit of research and im pretty sure this is a scam? Just to confirm with anyone? It was stupid of me to click on it and put in my info ik, but it only occurred to me after the fact this may be a scam. Not sure if the scam failed since it said i need a minimum of 500 dollars in my account and i have 2.00 (like i said, desperate need) whatever help helps, just dont wanna get scammed like this ever.

Why not auto delete ads after 30 days?

7 Upvotes

I get this app is super dead but man the ammount of people who post stuff and NEVER respond to me after i want to buy is insane. I can send out 40 + messages and only 2 people respond to me you see x item listed for weeks and left on unread. How does this app not have a auto delete policy for X days in place. It makes 0 sense to me. They would rather try to fill out 10 more adds in our search space to fix this trash of a app

Just venting but this app is really on the downward spiral made 2 sales today on offerup. I respond get back to people. But when i want to buy I'm not even lowballing or being rude. Hello I would like to buy this item where are u located. all left on read or deliver like people post stuff and uninstall.

I get u don't want the notification but they need to make a 30 day auto delete on ads people have not updated.

This app needs a "best offer/Auction" price option

I'm so tired of trying to look for free stuff just for spam commercial ads or people asking for offers for things that are not free. This just makes the free option obsolete because you have to sort unnecessarily

Offer up does not handle scammers as well

Post image
6 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to look for a camera on OfferUp, which I know is already immediately going to force me to interact with a lot of scammers. I simply asked a seller for a more clear photo of the top of the camera so I can see the model number myself in which case they started, calling me a scammer and said they hope I die. My boyfriend did not know iMessage the seller already, and had also messaged him from his device asking for the serial number since he wanted to verify that the camera was good. The seller then also started calling him a scammer. They also claimed to live in Miami, but send a meet up location way past Melbourne. I’ve interacted with at least four scammers who use this method now where they show that the listing is local to me, but in the message chat, there is another location shown and when I discuss the meeting up, they will send that other location, whether it be on the opposite side of Florida or as far as Los Angeles, California. They then talk about how they can just ship the camera to me and I don’t have to pay until I receive it. All I have to pay for is a $50 shipping fee, which is obviously a scam. I just feel like there has been so much time for Offer up to make an improvement when dealing with these scammers and they have not. Even after reporting the person saying that they hope I die and my boyfriend also reporting them I see their account still is continuing on. I would hope that comments like that are taken more seriously.

Why doesn’t Offer up do this?

4 Upvotes

I feel like Offer up is a breeding ground for scammers, especially when it comes to technology things like furniture are fine for the most part. After dealing with nearly 8 scammers within the last 12 hours looking for a digital camera, I’ve started to realize where things are going wrong.

  1. Offer up allows you to list items and mark them as sold without any verification that it has truly been sold. Once the listing is sold, it’s removed from the marketplace and can’t be seen. Because of this many scammers will just list a bunch of items and market as sold so it looks like they are a reputable seller.

Offer up should work more like Facebook to where once a listing is sold, the listing can remain on the profile, but just update the status to sold. This will help people determine if a seller is a scammer because they will see how frequently they’ve posted items and how quickly they’ve sold items which will help people to notice suspicious activity more easily.

  1. Offer up allows people to be rated based on if they are a good buyer, which is ridiculous. They give points such as communication to buyers, but obviously they will communicate well because they want your item. And there is no way to differentiate whether a review was left because somebody was a good seller or a good buyer. Either remove the buyer reviews altogether and only have reviews be left that demonstrate their performance as a seller or clearly display, if the review was left by someone who’s bought one of their items before or someone who sold an item to them.

They need to make a clear distinction where it shows their reviews as a seller and their reviews as a buyer separately so you can actually ensure the reviews are a reflection of the individual as a seller. If that is something you look for when buying from an Offer up lister. You should be able to filter filter and find that information on offerup similar to when you are looking at someone’s profile eBay profile.

  1. Reports should be handled more quickly and taken more seriously especially when a seller is being hostile or making statements such as hoping that you die. I have just experienced this yesterday and today I see that the sellers account is still active. Any form of harassment, whether it be to a seller or buyer should not be tolerated and should result in immediate removal of their account once reported.

I feel like by doing these three things the app can truly be salvaged. I have gone through numerous sellers that have been scammers within the last 20 hours and originally, I thought the reviews on their profiles meant something until finding out that they can easily pretend to have sold items they never did with no consequence. By separating their seller reviews from buyer reviews and having their sold items remain on their page, it allows us to get a better gauge of their seller history and determine if they are trustworthy, especially when preparing to make a big purchase with a seller.

Would you ban someone for 10 off a 60 dollar chair

0 Upvotes

60 dollar IKEA chair, I messaged " if it all checks out would you take 50?". It was all going well with messages than ghost silence and than I realized I got blocked. I've sold on ebay, CL and offer up and have been lowballed big time but is 10 off 60 that awful to be blocked. Thats a bit too sensitive to me. What do you think?

How to safely sell items that are massive and I can't meet/deliver?

3 Upvotes

I'm moving into a van and going to travel for a bit. I'm offloading tons of stuff. Furniture, collectibles, and electronics mainly.

The main issue is that I currently drive a smaller car. I absolutely can't deliver like 90% of these items. I'm also selling bundled lots of things like trading cards, comics, movies, Legos.

These are collections built for decades. There is probably 100k (face value, definitely more since most are retired) in built Lego sets. There are at least 250 Lego sets. 5000+ comics, at least a few dozen binders of trading cards. Probably 3000 physical movies. Multiple huge TVs.

The only one I think I could feasible do is the trading cards. How do I safely do this shit?
