I would trust your gut instinct on this person then. I've had people come to my house before to pick up things before and they actually bought things from me. I never gave my address to anyone that I didnt feel comfortable with.

Was this done through Offerup? Is so, it might take a while for it to show up through your bank.

If someone requests you do payment off offerup and it is not cash, I would be highly suspicious. Especially, if he is prepaying for a couch he has not seen.

@AtlasAttic Offerup started out as an app and is mostly used as a phone app, so I would assume most of my buyers have smart phones and can use them. I'm not sure why they require phone numbers being verified on some people's accounts, but I assume that even if you use the website, you would have to verify your number there as well since it's the same account.

Report them to Offerup. If bought locally, you had time to inspect it before buying. If shipped, you can put a buyers claims withing 2 or 3 days of the shipment being marked delivered.

Do you have sufficient funds to buy the item? Are there any error codes being given besides the offer can been declined?

Hello @James98 what do you need help with? Your post is a little vague.

I dont know about adhesive labels, but Offerup will cancel if you dont ship it out within a certain time. They want you to use the label, but dont care how you get it on the package. I would honestly Google it if you haven't already, but at least you have a way to fall back on if Google doesn't work out.

I understand, but that's probably all you can do. I've never printed on adhesive labels and my package shipped just fine when I shipped on here.

You can print it on regular paper and cut it out. Then you tape it on the package.

Do you want me to respond or not? If so, there is no need for you to curse at me. I have been nothing but nice to you. I haven't mentioned anything about selling on this thread. I answered someone's question about the topic and you took it out of context.

It does go two ways, but I will let you be. You keep replying like you want me to comment.

@Crazychris I think you are twisting things out of context. No one is telling anyone how to sell. People come on here for advice on how to sell better and advice can be taken or ignored.

@Crazychris she wasnt looking for advice to sell. She was curious as to why she was only getting views and no messages.

I think that the profile links are good for sharing off of offerup, so you can draw more people into what you are selling and onto the app. I broadcast mine on a Facebook page I manage for my business. I also can share it with people that need specific things on Facebook. I made business cards as well.

@Sazygirl followers dont get notified if you post. It takes time for the right buyer to come along. I have a lot of views and I wait until the right buyer comes along.

Offerup has their own payment service called Stripe. They know that PayPal exists; however for the time being the only way to have buyer protection on this app is to pay with Stripe. I wouldn't recommend anyone pay with PayPal while on this app if you want protection from this app. If you do local transactions, cash is always preferred by sellers.

I think to post in free, just put 0 in the price. That will mark it in the 'free' category.

Were they shipped? Or was it bought locally? If locally, you had time to inspect before buying. If shopped, put in a buyers claim.

I would report the user to Offerup and then go to the police for advice. Everything was done on your part as far as telling him everything that you knew was wrong with it from what I can tell. You could try telling him that the sale is considered final due to it being a private sale and not a dealership and he should have had a mechanic come with him to check it out more thoroughly.

Sometimes it takes a while to have the right buyer come along. I am the same way. I had a person message me today about something I've had up for a few months.

I've sold some Victoria secret bags before, but it takes a while for a potential buyer to message me. Clothes and other similar items tend to vary. I haven't sold any of my clothing items yet, but I will be taking them to flea markets and yard sales.

If you file a report, you can give all that info to Offerup like report number officer name and number. They'll work with the police.

Offerup will take a look at the report. You can reply to the email they sent you regarding the report and explain even further what they did to your grandfather.

Unfortunately, @Fafaa we cannot help you trap him. You went off the app it seems to communicate with him. For future reference, you shouldn't take any communication off the app. Also you shouldn't accept any payment that isnt cash or Offerup payment system.

I'm from the southeast part of Texas just a couple of hours away from Louisiana. I get messages in Spanish. It's frustrating because while I can use Google translate, I dont want to or should I have to since everything is in English as far as description and title. There's a lot of hobby stuff as well as work stuff where I live but there is also a lot of people who want stuff for dirt cheap (more than half off).
