Fixes For Offerup Error Code 403 “Forbidden’
- If you are having this error while accessing any messages which are sent to you, then it can be possible that the person who sent you the message was a scammer and Offerup identified it, so they have removed the user or the message. Or it can also be possible that for some reason the user itself has deleted the message.
- Also, check if you are accessing the right URL, it can be possible that you have mistyped the wrong URL.
- Try accessing the content under your browser incognito/private mode, if the error is coming because of cache and cookies then you will be able to access the content under incognito/private mode. If you didn’t receive the error under the incognito/private mode then clear your browser cache and cookies.
- In case you are using a VPN then consider disabling the VPN and then check if the error persists.
- Try accessing other content on the Offerup to check if they also show you the error. If you can access the other parts of the Offerup and have the 403 error with any specific content then this clearly indicates that the content has been removed or restricted.
