Great experience. Fast shipping, honest sellers and great support staff.
I have been on Swappa for a couple of years and have had many transactions, both as a buyer and a seller. Fees are reasonable for sellers and it makes a good deal for buyers as well. You know that if you buy or sale, your transaction is guaranteed. All phone or tablets are checked for financing or blacklisted. Again, this is my go to site.
Best price for a mint condition phone, very pleased
I have used this site to sell my phone and to buy a new tablet. Both transactions were very easy to complete. I researched multiple sites before selling my phone and I was able to get about a $100 more selling it through Swappa. And I was able to use that extra money to buy a ipad with Swappa for much cheaper then all of the competition. Great site! I will use them for buying and selling all of my electronics for now on.
I have purchased three phones off of the Swappa site. Flawless transactions every time. Sellers shipped quickly and items were as described. I will definitely be back and would recommend the site to anyone.
Swappa is the place to go, limited stupidity makes this a great sire for buying and selling. This is a monitored site so you are pretty safe, there are always people on these sites so you can have issues but for the most part, I have been very happy with Swappa!
Stumbled onto Swappa site while researching phones. The process was easy and it was assuring to know seller's had gone through screening process. Very complete instructions and follow up after sale. Easy to post comments.
Every time I need to buy a phone, I go to Swappa. The transactions are quick, fair and easy, everything a consumer wants. They even check the IMEI on the posting, to give the buyer piece of mind. Swappa also steps in to help ensure the transaction goes with out a hitch. I recommend this site to anyone looking to get great digital devices at great prices.
Made two recent purchases on Swappa. Both items shipped by seller quickly and exactly as described. Swappa staff very quick and helpful with any questions. Web site well made and easy to navigate.
The Swappa site is easy to navigate whether researching or looking to buy a specific device. I've had positive experiences with both devices purchased through Swappa. Helpful step by step process to validate sale and satisfaction. I consider Swappa safe and a great way to repurpose devices.
IPhone 6 purchase for my daughter's 16th birthday. Site was easy to navigate. And I cant believe how fast the shipping was. This phone looks brand-new I did not find a scratch or dent on it anywhere. It was a pleasure doing business with you thank you very much!

I have bought and sold on Swappa a number of times. Each time it is a pleasure to use Swappa. The site is safe and secure and also well organized to find what I want and also list what I want to sell. The staff is ready to answer any questions you might have and stays on top of any issue you might run into.
I have purchased two phones this way. Like that you guys test and qualify them first. It has saved me a lot of money and heartache.
Thanks Swappa!
Based on my experience worth swappa I don't think I will ever go back to a retailer to buy a phone. Great prices and guaranteed devices. I was comfortable and confident through my whole buying experience. It was a pleasure!
. Excellent experience. I bought a phone LG3 851-great phone, great price and very fast shopping. Will use again Swappa. Thanks.
The staff are very professional and the entire experience is setup with customer satisfaction in mind.
So awesome. Great phones and really great prices and no hidden fees or games. The only way to go for getting a new (be it "new" or "used") phone. Thanks for existing Swappa!
Swappa has been a great experience each of the 12 times I have sold items and 10 purchased. The people I have dealt with seem to be interested in much the same I am; A good deal, great products and fair cost of admission. Swappa certainly is the lowest in terms of fees related to sales and I look forward to continuing my smartphone/tablet/computer purchase and sales there.
Swappa is the way to get a phone without paying too much and a great way to get familiar with values on a site to trust. It makes no sense to buy from the big names and pay so much, along with getting tied into a contract. The first device was for someone else and it is still working. This most recent was a replacement and things look good.

Answer: Yes, you should remove and keep your SIM card when you sell your used phone. SIM cards are tied to your account, so are not transferable. More information and why in our FAQ: https://swappa.com/faq/sell/sim_card_included
Answer: Because they are scammers and a holes. They can't be bothered with you. Awful site. Use eBay instead.
Answer: Swappa guarantees it which goes above and beyond paypal. They are running IMEI checks and they do a great job. It's on you when you receive your phone to go through the phone check list to make sure it's good, checking cameras, microphones wfi, bluetooth, water damage check, things like that. Its really worry free buying.
Answer: Contact Swappa support. If an item is not as described by seller, the buyer is entitle to a refund.
Answer: Most sellers don't ship to African countries. This is because they include a reasonable fee on their prices to cover for shipping in the US, I guess shipping to Africa would come at a higher cost and they seem to be avoiding that for whatever reason. However, you can research and register for a freight forwarding company and have your orders shipped to them. In turn, these companies will forward your order to you when they receive it. As I pointed out before, this is something you have to read about and carefully consider. Hope that helps.
The place to buy and sell newish tech. Safety, simplicity and staff-approved listing make Swappa the better way to buy and sell used phones, tablets, laptops, video games, home tech and more.
