Proxies for OfferUp

OfferUp is a US local marketplace: what a buyer sees depends on the location and search radius set in the app, and many items are bought and collected locally. Car dealers, furniture and electronics shops and other small businesses list there alongside individuals. This page covers keeping a seller account steady and checking local prices in other cities.

What is different about OfferUp

How OfferUp localises, limits and checks traffic, and what that means for your setup.

Location and radius decide the feed

OfferUp shows listings around the location the buyer sets, within a chosen radius. Set the ZIP code and radius in the session and use an IP in the same area so what you see matches local buyers.

Identity and trust signals

OfferUp uses identity verification and profile ratings to build trust between buyers and sellers. A seller account that keeps changing location undermines that; keep it on one IP and one device.

Messages are person to person

Buyer and seller talk through OfferUp's chat. Mass-messaging buyers or posting duplicate listings gets accounts limited, whatever the IP.

Listings come and go fast

Local items sell or are pulled within days. For price research, check a category regularly at a low rate rather than crawling everything at once.

Which proxy fits OfferUp?

Our recommendation for OfferUp, and when the second option is the better choice.

Static ISP Proxies

Best fit

A business that lists on OfferUp every week wants its account to sign in from one place. A static ISP proxy gives the account a fixed US home-ISP IP with unlimited bandwidth for photo-heavy listings, so staff can work it from anywhere without the location jumping around.

starting from$0.75/IP

Dedicated static IPs registered to US and Canadian ISPs. The address stays the same for as long as you hold it, with unlimited bandwidth and HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 access.

Rotating Residential Proxies

Also works

To see what is listed and at what price in another city, use rotating residential proxies targeted to that city, together with a matching ZIP code and radius in the session. ISP proxies have no city choice.

starting from$0.63/GB

Residential IPs in 190+ countries with country, state and city targeting. Rotate on every request or hold a sticky session for up to 90 minutes; GB never expire.
