Help. I need somebody... Help. Not just anybody, Help, OfferUp!
Have you ever felt lost while using OfferUp and just wanted to learn how to use a specific feature? Before submitting an inquiry to our Customer Care team, did you know that we have a Help Center that can likely answer your OfferUp questions? Today, we’re here to go over how to best utilize this tool.
We currently have six helpful categories which hold all of our how-to articles and more. These articles will show you how to best use the features we offer. Those categories are: Buying & selling, Message & meetup, Shipping, Reputation, Account, and Rules & policies.
Our Help Center is designed in a way to empower our community members to answer their own questions. If you have a question on a specific feature, you can use our Search function to find the article on that topic.
If the article doesn’t answer your question, you will have additional ways to reach out to OfferUp Advocates, Experts, and our Customer Care team located in the lower right-hand corner of each page. This will either directly get you in touch via chat, or open an email ticket with our support teams where your inquiry will be routed to the agent best trained in that area or feature. A lot of the how-to type questions are routed to our community experts. (More on our Experts later 
) You can also get help here on these forums, read through plenty of tips and tricks, and see real testimonials from our community.
