What Does PPU Mean on Facebook?
The acronym PPU is often used on internet marketplace sites like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist and it stands for: “pending pick up” or “porch pick up.”
Basically, someone will mark an item as “PPU” if they have already technically sold it to a buyer, but said buyer has not picked it up yet. This way, if for some reason the buyer does not show up, the listing is still active and the item can go to the next interested buyer. Then, the seller does not have to repost the item and gain interest a second time.
Someone will mark an item porch pick up if they plan to leave it outside for a contactless pickup. This way, the buyer and the seller never need to interact. Particularly if the buyer has paid online or the seller is not going to be home, coordinating a sale to be porch pickup only is convenient for both parties. Both of these meanings of PPU might be seen in item listings or descriptions.
The acronym PPU can be used when a buyer is communicating with a seller via an online marketplace.
