The website is simple & intuitive & I really like being able to see all email communications between the involved parties. Makes for excellent transparency. The men & women of Swappa appear to be very particular about what & how a product is advertised & that's a huge sales point for the consumer. I have recommended them to many others.
Swappa has been really great. I've purchased two phones from Swappa. Both phones were in great condition. Exactly as described. Delivery is fast and it's much more comfortable than eBay and Craigslist!

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.
