Great Experience
March 29, 2016

First time I ever bought anything from your site. I was a little hesitant at first but saw nothing bit good reviews and positive feedback so I went through with my first purchase. I bought from "TSG_Wholesale", and while I ultimately had to return the phone I cannot say anything but "Great Job, and thank you!" - everyone was professional, courteous, and precise. I highly recommend Swappa.com, and from my personal experience with Tyler Scott (TSG Wholesale), the seller, I can't help but be impressed as everything was very well handled: the phone arrived fast and when I returned it, there were no hassles or excuses, just professionalism and respect. Very impressed! Will Recommend! Thanks again.

So much better than eBay or CL
March 28, 2016

Buy/Sell phones from people that know phones. Super easy and the market usually sets a very good average fair price.

We purchased 2 iPhones and an LG G3 - all equipment works and it was all in the exact condition described. The sellers I dealt with were all professional and considerate - I'll be using the site next time I am in the market for a user cell phone.

The only place I buy used phones
March 27, 2016

I have purchased at lease 6 phones using swappa.com. Each deal has been satisfactory in delivery and quality. There is an underlying fabric of integrity in buying and selling on the site. The users propagate that atmosphere with every honest deal. Also, transactions go smoothly thanks to PayPal.

Loving Swappa
March 27, 2016

I used to sell on Craigslist because it was fast and easy without all the gauging that eBay/PayPal inflict. Swappa's $10 flat fee is awesome. Makes it easy to buy and sell and everything goes QUICK!

N6 bought on swappa
March 27, 2016

I recently bought my Nexus 6 on swappa. I paid 1/3 of what one goes for brand new off of Google's website and about half of what it goes for on eBay or Amazon. Start to finish to purchase and receive phone was about 3 days. They use PayPal for buyer and seller protection, charge a 10$ sale fee that is already included in seller price along with shipping. Swappa staff check esn, and give the seller a code that has to be included in screen shot of device on, so you know the phone at least turns on and isn't banned for being stolen or an insurance claim. Link to device I just purchased: https://swappa.com/listing/YVP467/view

Good site overall
March 25, 2016

The site manages their sales well so there are no worries about getting a bad phone. Although if you pay with paypal (which some sellers require) there is a $10 fee that is unmentioned until you actually pay with paypal.

Swappa Steps In!
March 25, 2016

Overall I am pleased with Swappa! There was a communications lag from the seller to me, the buyer and Swappa staff stepped in and helped keep me at ease while forcing the hand of the seller to move things along in the right direction. The seller made a few errors but I am pleased with Swappa.

The best Jerry, the best...
March 25, 2016

I have been a Swappa user for a few years. After numerous transactions, both as a buyer and seller, I've had 1 problem that was handled quickly, honestly, and fairly. No junk, blacklisted phones, and with Paypal protection, you can't go wrong. If you ever got ripped off with a cell phone transaction Swappa will restore your faith in completing an honest transaction. Excellent site, and highly recommended. Give it a try. You won't be sorry.

From the business

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.
