Accept an offer

If a buyer is interested in your item, they can make you an offer. You’ll see their offer in your messages and you can choose to accept or decline it. Here’s how it works.

View your offers

You’ll receive offers from interested buyers in your messages inbox.

To view your offers:

Mobile Desktop
  1. Open the OfferUp app and log in to your account.
  2. Tap Inbox.
  3. Tap on the message to view the offer.

Accept or decline offers

Accept offers

You can accept a buyer’s offer by replying to their message. The offer will appear as a message that includes the item you’re selling and the amount they’d like to pay. Let them know that you’re interested, then coordinate to find a convenient time to meet up. For tips on places to meet, see Suggest a MeetUp Spot.

Decline offers

You can decline a buyer's offer by replying to their message. Let them know that you’re not interested or that their offer is too low. You can also send them a counteroffer if you want to negotiate. Although it’s not required, we ask that you please respond to interested buyers even if you’re not accepting their offers. This helps maintain a positive experience for everyone involved.
