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: in the app, by email, and by push notification.
