Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp allows&nbsp;customers to buy and sell products ranging from used furniture to cars with everything in between.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OfferUp business model is making money by charging a service fee for shipped items as well as for charging promotional fees for products and select programs, while giving away the usage of the app and listing products for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Founded &#x2013;&nbsp;2011<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Founders&nbsp;&#x2013; Nick Huzar, Arean Van Veelen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headquarters &#x2013;&nbsp;Bellevue,

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp burst into the E-Commerce scene in 2011, primarily as a mobile first company and as a competitor to Craigslist and Facebook&#8217;s marketplace platform. The founders of OfferUp are Nick Huzar and Arean Van Veelen and the company is based out of Seattle, Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huzar had worked as Product Manager with Microsoft and T-Mobile and had co-founded&nbsp;Konnects, Inc, which was the first (SaaS) social media platform designed to assist traditional media companies to better engage and monetize their online audience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bazaarexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-2.png\" alt=\"How does OfferUp make money\" class=\"wp-image-2598\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arean Van Veelen (left) and Nick Huzar (right) &#8211; The co-founders of OfferUp<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>He then was in a CEO role with Deal Springer, which allows anyone to share deals instantly right from their pocket. Deal Springer was designed to promote deals to local mobile devices, Facebook, Twitter, emails, search engines and scannable window stickers. Users could take a photo with their phone, upload it to the app, and automatically share it with other mobile devices in close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veelen had worked in product and consultant roles at various companies before he joined as the CTO of Konnects, Inc and subsequently co-founded OfferUp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The creation of OfferUp stemmed from Huzar&#x2019;s experience with Deal Springer and from the personal needs of the founders as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company founders wanted OfferUp to address the gap in existing classifieds platforms. They discovered a lack of mobile options in existing classifieds platforms while they were trying to sell their used items to create space for their newborns and decided to create OfferUp to address this gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_OfferUp_work\"><\/span>How does OfferUp work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sellers can list items for sale and buyers can browse through listings on the app or search the products to find what they are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once they find an item that they like, they can then interact with the seller over the app&#8217;s chat functionalities. They can ask clarifications about the product or negotiate the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a price has been agreed upon, the buyers and sellers meet to buy or sell the products advertised on the platform. &nbsp;The buyer has two days to complete the purchasing process after the product has been successfully delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the transaction and after purchasing process is complete, the buyer can rate both the seller and the product and leave a review. The the seller can rate the buyer and they can leave a reviews. This increases the trust of the buyers and sellers on the platform and as a result makes OfferUp better for everyone on the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_post_on_OfferUp_and_make_money\"><\/span>How to post on OfferUp and make money<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Posting on OfferUp is super simple.

OfferUp has had as many transactions in the first five years as much as eBay did in its first ten years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Average Daily Time Spent per User on the app increased from from 13 minutes in November 2014 to 25 minutes in June 2015, &nbsp;on par with Instagram and Snapchat and more than Twitter and Pinterest. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.geekwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/meekerofferup1-630x478.jpg\" alt=\"How does OfferUp make money\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">via KPCB<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Currently, OfferUp has become one of the largest marketplaces for buyers and sellers. OfferUp is frequently named one of the best places to sell used stuff because the user interface is visually appealing and easy to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app is intuitive and supports large pictures optimized for smartphones and supports infinite scroll, making it easy to browse items for sale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This uncluttered user interface, reviews and verification system has differentiated OfferUp from its competitors and has made OfferUp app one of the top 50 most downloaded free apps on the App Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OfferUp%E2%80%99s_Funding_and_Valuation\"><\/span><strong>OfferUp&#8217;s Funding and Valuation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As of May 2020, OfferUp has raised $393.7 million in 8 venture capital funding rounds from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, GGV Capital, Tiger Global Management, Warburg Pincus, T. Rowe Price, and Allen &amp; Company and others. The latest $120 million funding was raised in May 2020, along with an agreement to acquire Letgo which has been a fast growing competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OLX Group, a Netherland based firm led the latest investment round. OLX already had a stake in Letgo and after the acquisition it was agreed that it will have a 40% stake in the combined entity. Existing investors who have a stake in OfferUp, namely Warburg Pincus and Andreessen Horowitz also participated in the funding round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp has declined to disclose its net worth. It was reported to be valued at $1.4B after the funding round in August 2018, according to PitchBook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OfferUp&#x2019;s users<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp has seen an explosive growth in the number of users since it started. In Aug 2019, the total number of app downloads was 80 million and there were 44 million users, both active and passive. Also, the transaction volume on OfferUp increased from $2.5B in 2015 to $14B in gross merchandise volume (GMV) in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OfferUp&#x2019;s employees <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp has 369 employees as of May 2020. OfferUp has acquired the US operations of Letgo and there will be some consolidation as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With OfferUp acquiring Letgo&#x2019;s US operations, the OfferUp and Letgo marketplaces have been combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The acquisition is specific to North America, so Letgo&#x2019;s business outside of North America will be separately owned and operated as part of the OLX Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Letgo already had 100 million downloads worldwide, so there will be an increased user base for OfferUp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Letgo will not be supported in Canada as OfferUp hasn&#x2019;t expanded to Canada yet, so some of the user base in Canada will be lost as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, listings such as jobs, services, rental listings, and gift cards that were supported on the Letgo app are not being supported by OfferUp, so there is a chance of losing users for those categories as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the founders are up beat about the acquisition, as OfferUp and Letgo are two very similar marketplaces and would bring about good synergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of the acquisition, it was predicted that the combined active user base will be more than 20 million users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OfferUp%E2%80%99s_USP\"><\/span><strong>OfferUp&#8217;s USP<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp&#8217;s Unique Selling Proposition is its frictionless user experience, trust factor and community based selling and buying experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time OfferUp was launched, Craigslist was dominating the internet marketplace scene. Craigslist had a minimalistic interface and considerable safety concerns. Users had been murdered while meeting strangers on Craigslist and this received a lot of negative press for Craigslist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, this was the time that users were moving over from desktops to mobile devices. The founders were fast to capitalize on this move, whereas Craiglist did not adapt as quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp soon dominated Craigslist, which had a clunky and outdated interface by going the mobile first approach and creating a delightful app that allowed users to list a product they were selling in seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the app was designed to buy and sell nationally, it is geared towards ecommerce in local marketplaces.  <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/bazaarexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OfferUpMobileApp-1024x640.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bazaarexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OfferUpMobileApp-1024x640.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/bazaarexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OfferUpMobileApp-300x188.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/bazaarexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OfferUpMobileApp-768x480.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bazaarexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OfferUpMobileApp-24x15.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/bazaarexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OfferUpMobileApp-36x23.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/bazaarexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OfferUpMobileApp-48x30.jpeg 48w, https:\/\/bazaarexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OfferUpMobileApp.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">How does OfferUp make money<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>OfferUp positioned itself as a safer platform compared to Craigslist, by introducing TruYou, a program through which sellers and buyers opting into the program could increase their trustworthiness through the verification of a state ID, a phone number and a validated profile picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, users can block and report users exhibiting suspicious or harassing behavior, making the platform safer as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_OfferUp_Safe\"><\/span>Is OfferUp Safe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp is no different when it comes to scams just like Ebay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scammers are ingenuous when it comes to devising new methods of scamming people and there are a number of Offer Up Scams that you should be aware of for your physical and financial safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp recommends paying by cash for in person transactions and to use the OfferUp payment within the app for shipping transactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buyers\"><\/span>Buyers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp advises its buyers not to pay sellers by certified check, electronic gift card, or use payment apps like CashApp, Venmo, or Paypal or make a wire payment through services such as Western Union or MoneyGram. OfferUp also advises against accepting invoices from sellers for shipping, since all fees and transactions can be done through the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sellers\"><\/span>Sellers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the common scams that sellers get pulled into is when buyers pays more than the list price and then ask the seller to ship the item to a different address, use a different carrier or use a different means of payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"General\"><\/span>General<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>OfferUp cautions users not to click on links sent to them and disclose their user name and password. In general, it is advisable not to disclose any personal information such as email and phone number outside the OfferUp app, as this can lead to identity theft.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other common forms of scams that you need to be aware of are &#8220;investment opportunity&#8221; or an &#8220;easy way to make money&#8221; scams where random people ask you to send money to profit from an attractive investment opportunity. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is best to be extra careful when you meet strangers you&#8217;ve connected with over the internet. <strong>OfferUp launched MeetUp <\/strong>in 2017&nbsp;to address the safety concerns. OfferUp has partnered with businesses and police stations to create Community MeetUp Spots, which are brightly lit and have video cameras, to meet sellers to inspect products and complete transactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see the MeetUp Spots highlighted when you look up a location on the OfferUp app. The MeetUp program now has more than 1,900 locations across the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/bazaarexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Meetup.png\" alt=\"How does OfferUp make money\" class=\"wp-image-3429\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">OfferUp Meetup Spot<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Through social validation and validation through traditional methods, OfferUp seeks to allay the safety concerns of its users.
