What information do I need to provide on my listing?

The following information is required to create a service listing:

  • Your business name
  • An introduction (about you or your business)
  • Your service details:
    • Service category - Select the category that your service falls under. If you’d like to request a category that isn’t listed, please complete the Services Interest Form, and we’ll consider it for future enhancements.
    • Location - The 5-digit zip code associated with your service area. Your listing will display in search results within a 30-mile radius of the zip code.
    • Pricing details

You may provide additional details in the optional fields. Please note that your account profile picture will appear by default on your listing. If you add a new picture to your listing, it will override your current profile picture.

Can I add my Google reviews to the listing?

Yes! You can connect your Google Business Profile and import up to five of your most recent reviews to display on your listing. To import your reviews, go to the Post a Service page, tap Connect With Google, then follow the prompts.

Note: You cannot choose what reviews get posted. We take the five most recent reviews from your business profile, regardless of star rating. Imported reviews may take up to 24 hours to appear on your OfferUp profile.

How much does it cost to post a service?

The introductory cost to post a service is $75.00 per listing, and each listing stays active for 30 days. Please note, pricing is subject to change at any time.

Why do I need to be TruYou verified to post a service?

To help keep our platform safe, we require all service providers to pass a TruYou verification screening. This one-time identity verification is quick and secure. To learn more, see TruYou verification program.

Will my service listing be posted immediately?

No. It may take up to 24 hours for your listing to post due to our review process, which helps detect and prevent scams on our platform. All listings must meet our service guidelines to be posted. If your listing doesn’t meet our guidelines, we'll notify you by email.

Tip: You can keep an eye on the status of your listing by going to My Listings and filtering by Services. Your listing will show Pending while it’s under review, and Active when it’s posted to the feed.

How long will my service listing stay active?

Your service listing will remain active for 30 days from the posting date. After it expires, it will be removed from the live feed.

How do customers reach out to me?
If a customer is interested in your services, they can send you a message through the OfferUp app. You’ll use messaging to chat back and forth, provide quotes, and schedule appointments. Make sure you’ve enabled notifications so you get alerted when you have new messages. To learn more, see Manage notification preferences.
Where can I manage my service listings?

To manage your service listings, go to My Listings and filter by Services. Here, you can view all of your pending, active, and expired service listings.
