Long time Swappa user
June 16, 2016

Great site to safely buy and sell mobile devices. I've been a user for over four years now and have sold about 12 devices and purchased the same amount. Highly recommended over eBay and the like.

I was able to buy a pre-owned tablet that was in like new condition for a very reasonable price. I trust Swappa for electronics because of the involvement of Swappa staff to make sure everything is legitimate and handled properly. I highly recommend Swappa to people looking for quality pre-owned phones and tablets at reasonable prices.

Finally a Site You Can Trust
June 16, 2016

I was scammed TWICE on eBay, before giving Swappa a try. All I wanted was to buy an iPhone and receive it as described. At first Swappa sounded like another to good to be true scam. But its the real deal! They verify every listing and have excellent condition used phones. I felt safe knowing the staff checked the phones ESN, and the comment system allowed me to negotiate a great price, and stay in contact with the seller. Would highly recommend using this site over eBay if you're looking to buy a mint previously owned phone for a great price! From now on, I will always use Swappa instead of eBay!

Awesome
June 16, 2016

This was my first experience with Swappa and won't be the last. I found the exact type of phone the first night I used the site. Communicated with the seller and made my purchase the next morning. Received the phone in two days. Love this site. I'll be becoming an active user both buying and selling.

Twice Now
June 16, 2016

I have purchased two used iPhone 6's in the past 5 months. Both transactions went smoothly. I would use Swappa again and would recommend it to friends in the used cell phone market.

New phone new experience
June 14, 2016

I love swappa! The site was recommended to me by my son as I have no idea. From start to finish, it was so easy. Customer service is unbelievable. Never experienced such great communication before. Questions can be directed to staff or seller which made the step by step process even easier.

Very upset. Got what I tbought was a deal on a S5 phone in what was listed as a 32GB model that turned out to be improperly listed on Swappa.com but should have been listed as a 16GB model. Swappa rules and staff seriously need to require & or enforce pic posting prior to listing approval of label under battery with IMEI & or serial number blocked out. To prove your listing is as advertised.

Swappa was easy to use.
June 13, 2016

I saw the site advertised on XDA frequently, so wanted to try it out. Just like eBay or other direct seller sites. Swappa has good ways of describing the items for sale and sellers are clear about the items. I'll use it again.
