Frustration Mounts as OfferUp Adds Intrusive Ads, Fails to Remove Scams

I think it is ridiculous that I can’t access my conversations due to the multiple adds of “going premium”

Way too many ads, I’m just trying to scroll and then BOOM an unavoidable, unwarranted 1 minute ad pops up. At least give me the option to watch 3 at once and then leave me alone for an hour…it really ruined the quality of the experience.

Been trying on and off with this app but for some reason my listings NEVER show up. I even check from a different phone and nothing yet it says it’s listed. Emailed offer up with no response. Complete waste of time and extremely disappointing.

I just got an ad saying that my memory was low on my iPhone, which is freaking impossible because I have no apps open… That is predatory advertising and you’re gonna take advantage of people who don’t know technology you need to stop doing ads like that it ain’t worth the money sell me a dishwasher not software

I’m trying to leave a review for a seller but I can’t scroll down to submit. That’s a big problem right now I’m my iPhone.

Was working perfectly, now searching for another app with same features without the annoying ads. Why would I pay premium if I’m not buying daily??? Can barely view 2 items before an AD pops up and by then I just close it and go to the next app.

Too many scam sellers and it takes too long for them to be removed if reported. Offer Up let’s them create new profiles anyway. The app/company needs to drastically improve their security before I feel safe buying from anyone who isn’t local.

I don’t like when they send me a text saying they found something that I might like. I will do my own shopping

It used to be a good app to sell and buy things, but with the influx of having to go through ads upon ads is stupid!

There is no way to mark an item as pending. You cannot browse albums to upload a photo so if a photos is from 6 months ago, I have to scroll through thousands of photos before I find the item. Give us the ability to browse albums.

I’m now bombarded with intrusive ads with normal use. New as of the last few weeks. I like the old app better.

I’ve been wanting to use this app to sell some items but I can’t even post anything. Once I hit post, it just gets removed. As many times as I try

Very cool layout

Too full of ads instead of people selling locally

I’ve been using offer up for some time now, and the recent addition of ads as you scroll through as well as exterior sites being able to post, really gets annoying. If you had dedicated ad bars, that would be one thing, but having a pop-up ad where I can’t get out of it is absolutely ridiculous. I’m not playing some game, I’m actually looking for particular items.

Esta app es una maravilla, te ayuda a obtener cosas de calidad 🫶🏻

Ads cover the full window of your phone for a few seconds until the close option appears that is really small that it will still register that you clicked on the ad and will redirect you to a new screen. This should be illegal because it’s the same tactics used for malware.

I've been using it for 6 years and it just keeps getting worse! The fancy new random pop-up ad's are a pain, and most of them cant be closed!! You have to kill the app to get rid of them!! I guess you can pay $8/mo to get rid of the ad's, but I pay $20/mo for promote plus and I have to put up with the ad's?!? No more selling on OfferUp for me, subscription cancelled!!

I’m always on here cleaning out my closet or my Dads house-so much to go this app works for me on sooo many levels-thanks offer up!

It’s a app for selling stuff, not entertainment. Skip the forced ads.

Such a great app.

It’s a great app I really like it. I have sold and purchased many items. But you should implement a feature where unsold items get unlisted automatically after a month, unless you reenlist it. It’s really annoying to search for something and an item from three years ago that never got marked as sold by the user never got removed. Other than that the app is really easy to navigate and posting is a breeze. I know its the user’s fault to not marking as sold, BUT of they got removed automatically that would not be an issue.

Lots of bots and fakes
