A great service for buying/selling used phones
February 4, 2016

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.

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!
