Can I Negotiate the Price with a Seller on OfferUp?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, negotiating the price with a seller on OfferUp is not only possible but is also quite common. OfferUp provides a platform where buyers and sellers can communicate directly, allowing for discussions about the listed price. When you find an item you are interested in, it is perfectly acceptable to send a message to the seller expressing your interest and proposing a different price. Sellers may be open to negotiations, especially if they are eager to sell the item quickly or if the price has been listed for a while. It is important to approach negotiations respectfully and politely. Offering a reasonable counteroffer rather than a lowball offer may increase your chances of reaching an agreement. Keep in mind that the seller has the final say on whether they accept your offer or not. Ultimately, the ability to negotiate is part of the OfferUp experience, and many users find it helps them secure better deals. For any specific questions regarding pricing or negotiations, you may want to refer to the current resources available on the OfferUp website.
