NEWS ALERT: Letgo has combined with OfferUp and has been incorporated into the OfferUp marketplace platform. See our OfferUp review for more information.


Selling your stuff to make extra money can be a pain, but the Letgo app makes it simple. Letgo is a marketplace where you can buy and sell items in your area just by posting a picture and a price.

How Does Letgo Work?

Steps to Sell Your Stuff on Letgo

  1. Download the app and set up your profile
  2. Click “Sell your stuff” and choose a category
  3. Snap a picture of what you’re selling
  4. Enter the price you want to charge
  5. Post and wait for a buyer!

You can add more pictures and edit the auto-generated description to make your posting more appealing to potential buyers.

Another thing you’ll want to consider is whether to post the item on multiple platforms like OfferUp, Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.

If you do, make sure you’re checking each of the platforms regularly to ensure you don’t miss messages from potential buyers.

You can sell pretty much anything with this app! Categories on Letgo include:

  • Movies, books and music
  • Sports and leisure

Is Letgo Safe?

Letgo is as safe to use as any other digital marketplace like Craigslist or Facebook. Letgo doesn’t do background checks, but they do have steps that let you become a verified user.

If you have a bad feeling about a seller or potential buyer, don’t risk it. You can also block or report a user within the app if you feel uncomfortable.
