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.

To subscribe to Promote Plus, complete the following steps in the app:

  1. Open the OfferUp app and log in to your account.
  2. Tap My Listings. 
  3. Locate the item listing you want to promote, then tap Sell 2x Faster.
  4. On the Promote page, select Promote Plus, then tap Start 3-Day Free Trial.

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.

Items rotating in the feed like a carousel.

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.
