Does OfferUp Still Charge Shipping Fees? No — Shipping Ended in 2025
No. OfferUp no longer charges shipping fees because nationwide shipping no longer exists: new listings became local-only on 2025-09-23, and shipping was removed from all remaining listings by 2025-10-21. Local, in-person sales carry $0 commission. This page dates every fact so you can separate today's rules from pre-2025 guides.

Quick answer: No — OfferUp has no shipping fees because it has no shipping
No. OfferUp no longer charges shipping fees because there is nothing left to charge them on: new listings became local-only from 2025-09-23, and shipping was removed from all remaining listings by 2025-10-21. Local, in-person sales carry a $0 commission.
That closes the question structurally, not just for shipping: with $0 commission on local sales and no shipped checkout at all, there is no platform fee path on a standard OfferUp sale today.
What happened to OfferUp shipping: the 2025 timeline
OfferUp retired nationwide shipping in two steps, per OfferUp Help: Nationwide shipping ending (page updated 2026-09-22, checked 2026-11-01):
| When | What changed |
|---|---|
| Before Sep 2025 | OfferUp listings could offer nationwide shipping, and shipped sales went through OfferUp checkout |
| 2025-09-23 | New listings became local-only — shipping could no longer be added to a new listing |
| 2025-10-21 | Shipping was removed from remaining listings that still had it |
| Since 2025-10-21 | Shipping is not available for any listing; local pickup only |
If you remember arranging a shipped sale through OfferUp checkout, that flow no longer exists. Every listing now runs on local pickup, and the buyer and seller complete the sale in person.
What OfferUp sellers pay now: $0 commission on local sales
OfferUp's help center states it does not charge fees or take a commission from in-person transactions. Because local pickup is now the only transaction type, shipping fees are not merely reduced — they are structurally impossible. There is no shipped checkout left to attach a fee to.
| Sale type | What OfferUp takes today | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Local / in-person | $0 — OfferUp does not charge fees or take a commission from in-person transactions | What is OfferUp (updated 2026-08-31) |
| Shipped | Not possible — shipping ended (2025-09-23 new listings; removed everywhere by 2025-10-21) | Nationwide shipping ending (updated 2026-09-22) |
Optional seller costs still exist — the Promote+ subscription, one-time promotes and paid listings past a free allotment — but none is a fee on a sale. For those, see How much does OfferUp take? and OfferUp seller fees explained; the OfferUp seller fees hub has the full fee picture.
What about the old OfferUp shipping fee?
Shipping-era fees were real: before the 2025 retirement, shipped sales went through OfferUp checkout and OfferUp charged sellers on them. But the exact historical shipping checkout percentage is not publicly available on current OfferUp help, so this page does not quote one — inventing or recycling a number would tell you nothing about what OfferUp charges today, which is $0, because shipping is gone.
Be wary of older third-party articles that cite a specific shipped-sale percentage with no date stamp. They are describing a feature OfferUp retired in 2025; the figure may have been accurate once, but it no longer maps to anything you can do on the platform.
Promote+ is not a shipping fee
Promote+ (Promote Plus) is an optional advertising subscription at $19.99 per month or $99.99 per year — not a shipping fee and not a charge on any sale. See OfferUp Promote Plus cost for the full treatment.
