I bought a Note 4 in Mint condition. Swappa provided updates after the transaction started. I feel like I can buy with confidence from Swappa.
The phone was my first bought on swappa and everything went smooth and quick. Very happy and enjoying my device... can't out it down. Lol
I would definitely use Swappa again for purchasing a used phone. The phone I bought was in great shape and priced right. Shipping was fast.
The site is great and the people are to, it only took two days for me to get my phone and now im ordering another
This was my first time using swappa and it was wonderful. I purchased a phone for my father and will be buying myself one soon.
I had a very easy time, using swappa. 100% perfect. Thank you for a smooth and easy transaction better than eBay and Craigslist. By far.
After researching for some time what type of phone I needed (Android, recent build, good quality, with a long lasting battery and all LTE bands represented for my travel needs), I settled on finding the S6 Active. Shopping on eBay was a bit frustrating as listings are all over the map. Some sellers provided the phone's ESN's or even an image of their clean ESN from Swappa. Some eBay sellers are very professional about things and I was rather close to springing for one on eBay, but then I started looking at Swappa's listings. What made me feel reassured about buying from Swappa is that it is focused on the secondhand smartphone market. ESN's are not publicly shared but verified by Swappa itself which is truly the gold standard in that arena. Combine that with a review system which shows whether the sellers are good at what they do and it became much easier to focus on a device that made sense for me. Several S6 Actives were listed for sale for slightly less than the one I was interested in, but clearly my seller knew what he was talking about since it showed it was unlocked and had not been rooted. These are not commonly mentioned in descriptions even on detailed eBay listings from pro sellers. Communicating with the seller was lightning quick and a few messages later we came to a reasonable price that allowed him some profit and me some savings. I purchased using Paypal, the device was shipped the same day and I had it in my hand (from Florida to California) in 2 days by USPS Priority Mail. The device actually was in better shape than the photos the seller posted so I am thrilled. Testing it out for about 12 hours proved that it was a legit phone with no issues whatsoever. The whole Swappa experience for me was great - of course, this depends on the seller and item one chooses, but I think Swappa provides enough info so that you can make an informed careful decision on where you want to spend your $ on a used phone. I now have a 6 month old phone which when new is nearly double the price! Thanks Swappa!
Good good good, Phone as described,
(no missed appointments or scams like craigslist) i prefer the trusted sellers!
Highly recommended!
Seller replied quickly to my comment and was able to ship the phone right away. Phone is in great condition!

Phone was as advertised, and was shipped quickly. No complaints. I would definitely by from Swappa and this seller again.

Great way to get a new phone!

This was my first experience buying from Swappa. It was great. I am already waiting for another phone I purchased
Site very easy to navigate. Safe secure Paypal purchase. Purchase completed in couple minutes. Timely response to questions. Highly recommended
I discovered Swappa recently and made two successful purchases. Both were less than if purchased/bidding on EbaY and less stressful.

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.
