About notifications

OfferUp sends you notifications when we have something to tell you. For example, we’ll notify you when you have new messages from buyers or sellers, when new items are posted that match your interests, or when there are important updates to your account. There are 3 ways that OfferUp sends you notifications. 

App and web notifications

We send app and web notifications to your Inbox in the OfferUp mobile app and on OfferUp.com. This is the default method for receiving notifications.
