@RickPhan Can you elaborate? If you sign out or leave for a short period your items will still be there. Is that what you wanted to know?

@Privetfla I'd assume In Search Of is another way of saying Wanted Ads "Looking to buy Nintendo with 3 games." Since text ads are no allowed you can't clearly convey that. But, this kinda defeats the purpose of the app I think. You are meant to search for what you're looking for — just seems lazy and less fun. If people know what they no longer need, it will be posted.

@Clodoveo They did respond, as did many others if I recall. The gist of it was 'if they are within the posting guidelines, they are allowed to post.' You can report them if they break the posting rules. • Duplicates • Stock Images / Website Screenshots • Text Only ___________________ But I agree, they should be monitored more closely. If they're posting daily, I could see that becoming a problem.

@Shayfitzgerald3 Those are no scammers, just flaky people who don't update you. What are you trying to sell? Many of us have sold and bought over 100 items, the app is not 'broken'. There are people out there who will follow through, don't give up. I felt the same way starting out. Although it shouldn't be on you, I'd advise asking for an update from any interested buyers. "Hello. Are you still interested?" Furthermore make sure descriptions are accurate so you get less questions asked. Be polite and reply to everyone. Do your images look good?

@RiverDweller A bump is different than being featured. If you go to your Offers tab you'll see a Promote option under your posted item. Apart from bumps you have the option of be featured for X amount of days. __________________ Pretty sure a regular bump just takes your item back to the top of the main feed.

"Should I be going back in and offering more money? I'm not sure if that's how offerup works?" As stated, no that's not how it works. A simple "I'm really interested in the item. Let me know if anything has changed please. Thanks." would be good. If they said they were offered more money, it may be a tactic to make you bid. I personally move on if they try to make me bid by using this tactic. Don't give them the time of day if they don't seem reliable.

Best way? Meet in public during the day. Have a friend with you if possible. Shopping Center as suggested or local shop with cameras like Starbucks. Personally, 180+ transactions later — nothing has happened. "convenient" as in relevant to the item you mean? I'd think about it, but it really depends on what they're asking, their tone —

@Zero1 Areas? I know plenty of people who live in areas, which some would classify as 'ghetto' or sketchy. Yet, I've done business with them with no problems. Just set-up a meeting time during the day — weekends if you're able. Meet at a local shop — Starbucks / Target are common and have cameras. Ask questions beforehand or if they're buying ask them if they have any. Make sure to test and fully inspect any product before committing. If they're able to deliver for some extra, great. ________________________ If by areas you meant categories. Electronics can be a bit difficult to test at times. Do your research prior to asking questions.

It's usually first come first serve, this would defeat the purpose. Just like with eBay buy now or any other type of selling platform. So like Lapua said, you'd need to setup some third party app or custom rss There is no in app option to do what you want.

@CH60 You can't expect everyone to respond or do business the same way. There's no reason why you can't negotiate — although I personally hate this back and forth 'haggling' Just ask what the lowest they'll take is. If they don't want to go lower just wait a month or two and ask again.

@A14 No sales yet? There is a lot of talk. It's not WalMart, so there will always be some back and forth. Maybe something on your end needs to change? Is the description accurate? Images look good / well lit?

I'd like to see a section where people can provide small extremely short term services or advice on a given subject like say computers etc. Assuming they have been on the app for a while and are rated well. Is the section perhaps Local Connections? Recently a buyer helped me solder something real quick — brought up a project I was working on and he wanted to help.

@P1990SI The sad truth is unless they are breaking the rules / posting guidelines there's nothing that can be done. This has been brought up in the past. If you see them spamming or using stock images / text only ads, report them.

Who's to say they won't flake? I wouldn't deliver that far personally. As for pricing someone said in the past something like 10$ per 5 miles is reasonable — I forget exactly, but sounds about right. If the item is cheap enough to mail do that if you receive non-refundable payment first or apologize if you cannot.

This would be great — only issue is some users don't have credit cards. There are good people out there who only have physical cash, wouldn't want to ignore them or put them last on a priority list. Wouldn't be surprised if people began to complain about being forced to bid even after the agreement. This topic was brought up before, I forget where.

@TheTechDoctors "the scammers" ?? Do you flag multiple people a day? Are they within guidelines, how do you classify a scammer? Maybe OfferUp blocked your end since your spamming their inbox. Works on this end.

@AlwaysOnTime Did you have to travel? In any case it's always wise to get an update so ask a couple min (like 20) before meet up time. If they don't respond, don't head out or move on to the next interested person if you're dealing from home. Some people don't have the decency to tell you that they lost interest, don't stress yourself out. If you feel like blocking is appropriate or you think it will deter a potential heated argument, then do so. Remember though, there are good business people out there still. ________________ Don't know if a feature to make flakers known is possible. OfferUp would need to hire more staff just to sift through messages like the NSA to catch a few flakers when reported.

I agree with Lapua, you need to break the lot up. Sell the games as a lot or individual at a firm price.

Buy a marker to check bills. Or look for the ghost on the bill. If they get upset just say "Nothing against you, but I just need to check since it's happened before. You may not be aware of it either." or make a joke out of it. "100? Haha This real?" and check real quick. You take pictures of people without their consent while doing business? That's kinda creepy. Take a picture of their ride if they have one instead, but that assumes you forgot to check which I doubt will happen to you specifically anymore.

Agree. Honestly don't care if you smoke — you do you as long as it doesn't affect others. If the app doesn't allow it, don't negotiate with it. So much wasted time from these types of people. Guess they see cash value in it, I don't. I mean, is it really worth a ban?

"Is it OK to post multiple photos?" Multiple photos yes — Make only one ad for each bag / item though. Try all the advice given and let us know if anything changes ☺️

@CanaryIsland "Offer Up should make the seller" Force sellers to mark things sold? I agree biding sucks, but that's one unfortunate way some people like to negotiate. The issue with this suggestion is — it assumes the buyer will actually buy. That's not always the case and if the buyer flakes, you'll have to repost everytime someone does. If people are greedy and want more money than asking price because "someone offered me 80 what's your offer" it's completely up to them, you'll learn to not make deals with that person anymore. Not everyone is like that, just continue looking.

@DiVa33 What makes you think it was removed because of possible counterfeit? Did you get an e-mail stating this? There are other reasons it was possible removed. Maybe you were using stock images which is not allowed. Maybe you were posting duplicates / spamming which is also not allowed. Try and re-post again. Make sure the images are well lit and description accurate as well. Do that for now. In the meantime maybe staff can look into your account or @Elin can link you to support if it continues to happen. But try the above before anything else and make sure you're following up posting rules.
