Does OfferUp Charge a Listing Fee?
No. Posting an item on OfferUp is free within a monthly free-listing allotment set by category — and OfferUp takes $0 commission on in-person (local) sales. Paid single listings and listing subscriptions exist only after an allotment runs out, and their dollar prices are not published on OfferUp's help center. This page gives the yes/no verdict, the allotment table, and stops there.

Short answer: no — listing is free within a monthly allotment
No. OfferUp charges $0 to list an item as long as you are inside your monthly free-listing allotment for that category — and the allotments are larger than most sellers ever hit: 25 furniture listings a month, or 200 listings across all other categories. OfferUp also takes $0 commission on in-person sales. Money enters the picture in two places only: after an allotment runs out, and if you choose optional paid promotion.
| Charge | What you pay |
|---|---|
| Listing an item | $0, within the monthly category allotment |
| Listing after the allotment is used up | Paid single listing or listing subscription — price varies by category; not publicly available on OfferUp's help center |
| Commission on a local, in-person sale | $0 — no commission |

OfferUp free listing allotments by category
OfferUp's free-listing limits are set per category, per calendar month. The numbers below are the exact allotments published on OfferUp's help center — not rounded estimates:
| Category | Free listings per month |
|---|---|
| Cars & Trucks | 1 |
| Motorcycles | 1 |
| Appliances | 15 |
| Cell Phones | 15 |
| Furniture | 25 |
| Jewelry | 25 |
| Tools | 25 |
| All other categories | 200 combined |
Two refresh rules complete the picture: allotments reset on the 1st of the calendar month, and unused free listings do not roll over — a seller who posts 10 of 25 furniture listings one month starts the next with the full 25 again. Per About free listing limits, last updated 2025-04-02, fetched 2026-11-01. How Feebrief sources and dates these numbers: methodology.
What happens after you use your free listings
Once a category allotment runs out, OfferUp offers two paid paths — and being straight about both is the point of this page:
- Paid single listings: available to buy in the app once the allotment is used up; the price varies by category — the dollar amount is not publicly available on OfferUp's help center, so no figure is quoted here and none should be invented from third-party blogs.
- Listing subscriptions: available in select categories as a package; the subscription price is likewise not publicly available on OfferUp's help center.
That gap is deliberate. Rather than quote a dollar figure OfferUp doesn't publish, this page points you to the in-app price for your category. Per Buy single listings, last updated 2025-06-11, fetched 2026-11-01.
Listing fees vs. other OfferUp charges
Three charges get confused on OfferUp, and only the first is this page's question: listing is free within the allotment; commission on a local sale is $0 — OfferUp doesn't charge fees or take commission from in-person transactions, per What is OfferUp; and optional promotion is a separate choice. Promote+ is optional paid visibility at $19.99 per month or $99.99 per year — not a listing fee and not a take on the sale — and its cost detail lives on OfferUp Promote+ cost.
