Promote Plus benefits
Make your item twice as likely to sell
Promoted items are twice as likely to sell because they get more exposure at the top of the feed. More exposure helps attract more potential buyers.
Promote an item for multiple days
Choose one item to promote at the top of the feed for as many days as you want. Endlessly promote your item with minimal effort and never worry about a promotion expiring before you want it to.
Switch the promotion to other items
Want to change out the item you’re promoting? No problem. You can switch the promotion to any of your active items whenever you want.
Save 58% on annual subscriptions
Opt for an annual subscription and receive a discounted price to promote your items for a full year.

Subscribe to Promote Plus
Promote Plus is available through the OfferUp app as a paid monthly or yearly subscription. Choose the option that best fits your needs. If you're trying Promote Plus for the first time, you'll enjoy a 3-day free trial period.
To subscribe to Promote Plus, complete the following steps in the app:
- Open the OfferUp app and log in to your account.
- Tap My Listings.
- Locate the item listing you want to promote, then tap Sell 2x Faster.
- On the Promote page, select Promote Plus, then tap Start 3-Day Free Trial.
- Select a monthly or yearly plan, then tap Start 3-Day Free Trial. Note: If you've already used your free trial, the button will say Go Promote Plus instead.
- On the app store purchase dialog, select your payment method, then tap Subscribe.
How it works
Your promoted item will appear with a Promoted label in featured spots on OfferUp, including the home feed, category feed, and in related searches. Your item will also show a Promoted label in My Listings so you know what item you’re promoting at all times.
Don’t worry if you don’t see your item at the top of the feed immediately. Promoted spots are shared between sellers. Items rotate among the featured positions so all sellers get fair exposure.
Additionally, you may not see your promoted item in your own feed at all since you’re not paying to promote it to yourself. But potential buyers will see your item in their feed. To check how many buyers are viewing your item in real-time, use the Item Performance Dashboard.
Switch out promoted items
You can switch out the item you’re promoting for another item you're selling whenever you want.
To switch out an item, complete the following steps in the app:
- Open the OfferUp app and log in to your account.
- Tap My Listings.
- Locate the item listing you want to start promoting, then tap Promote.
- Tap Use Promote Plus.
- On the Swap Promotion pop-up, tap Promote.
Change subscription plans
You can change to a monthly or yearly subscription plan at any time. Simply visit your app store to manage your plan. To learn more, see the app store instructions for your type of device:
Just know that if you change your subscription plan, your new plan will not activate until your current plan reaches the end of its billing period. When your current plan expires, your new plan will activate and a new billing cycle will begin.
Renewals
Your subscription will automatically renew every month on the same day until you choose to alter or cancel it. Payment occurs through your app store using the payment method associated with your Google Play or App Store account. To locate your renewal date, visit your app store account.
Cancellations
Cancel your 3-day free trial
To avoid being charged for a subscription, you must cancel the service at least 24 hours prior to the end of the free trial period. Otherwise, you will be charged for a Promote Plus subscription on a recurring basis until you cancel.
To learn how to cancel your free trial, see the app store instructions for your type of device:
Cancel your subscription
You can cancel your Promote Plus subscription at any time through the app store. To avoid auto-renewing for another month of service, you must cancel at least 24 hours prior to your renewal date.
To learn how to cancel your subscription, see the app store instructions for your type of device:
When you cancel, your Promote Plus benefits will continue to run until the end of your renewal term. Then, your monthly or yearly payments will stop, and any current Promote Plus promotions will end. You can re-subscribe at any time or buy individual promotions when you need them.
Refunds
There are no refunds for charges incurred by the 3-day free trial. Additionally, there are no refunds (prorated or otherwise) for changing or canceling your Promote Plus subscription. All plans run until the end of their renewal term, which allows you to enjoy the benefits until they expire.
