- Select the reason for your refund request and click Next.
- Choose the specific app, subscription, or item related to the charge on OfferUp and click Submit.
- Wait 24 to 48 hours for an update on your refund request.

Hello OfferUp Customer Service,
I recently encountered a billing issue with my account, where I was charged an amount that I believe was incorrect. The charge does not reflect any recent transactions or purchases. I kindly request that you review the situation and process a refund for the erroneous charge. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
OfferUp Refund Policy
OfferUp's refund policy states that in-person purchases are final and not eligible for refunds, while items purchased through shipping may qualify for refunds if they are fake, lost, damaged in transit, or not as described. To request a refund for shipping purchases, buyers must contact the seller within 2 days of receiving the item, and if the seller approves, they need to return the item to receive their money back.
