Swappa is a game-changing website that allows you to find the perfect phone, tablet, computer, game system, etc. All for a fraction of any price out on the market! Sellers are simple and straight forward and most importantly, verified! I've bought 5 iPhones for me and my fam and haven't regretted a single second! Totally fast and efficient and worth checking out!
Terrible service. Paid for feature and the. They removed it because I lowered the price. Company is a scam. Not only that. They never replied to my emails but replied to this review. Shady. Even the reply is untrue. They charged for feature and it's not active after their employees approved the ad. Had to dispute the charges
Very simple and easy to use website. Excellent experience. Very thorough description. I'll buy again! Thanks Swappa!
Easy to work with people, good organization, and solidly put together website. Great for selling and buying.

I think Swappa is the best place to go for used cell phones and laptops. Zero scams, great review system, etc... I use them regularly to buy MacBooks for new developers at our company.
I've bought 3 cell phones, a laptop, and a smartwatch on swappa. Much easier/faster/more reliable than wading through the crap on ebay or amazon.
I have bought and sold several iPhones and Apple Watches for myself and family on Swappa over the years. It's sooo easy to use, and when buying I like how many filtering and sorting options they have so you can find the exact device you want at the price you want.
Way less hassle than FB Marketplace because you have a wider selection and don't have to set aside time to meet in person.
When selling, I get way more for my old devices than when doing trade-in.

I have used Swappa in the past, and the sellers on this site are prompt, and the products arrive as advertised. I will continue to use this site as long as I continue to find good, quality products at reasonable prices and by reliable sellers.
This is the second time I've used Swappa to buy an electronic device and I've been extremely satisfied with this service. I've had no issues and love how easy it is to get a basically new product for much less than I would pay to get it new from Apple. Others' experience could vary depending on the seller I'm sure but Swappa seems to do a good job of vetting who is selling stuff on their site.
Swappa makes things easy to sell. It is scary figuring out who can screw you, but this site is full of great people.
Ordered 2 different phones at 2 different times and both phones came in better shape than the description that was given amazing website
You always can compare prices, check seller reviews and so far I am very please using this site (I only buy from here).
I bought an iphone 11 & it was everything the seller said it was. I did check his reviews which were 100% & asked a question which was answered quickly. The sales tax was a shocker but that is the government these days!
Great site. Easy to use. Lots of information and pictures that is required to sell on there. Sellers all have reputations and past comments from buyers. You can get a lot of information that you can't get on ebay or so.
Very easy to search and select what you're looking for by make, model and condition. I am very pleased!
Just bought a macbook air here for a great price, have bought phones and such on the site before and it has always been great.

I trust that what I buy on Swappa is what I will receive. This is in stark contrast to eBay and Mercari where you will most likely get a blacklisted phone or not the same phone that was pictured. I've sold and bought on Swappa with no issues. I know this probably won't continue as what good things in life do but if something bad happens I know Paypal will protect me.
Ordered used galaxy s7 and had it delivered on time, well wrapped, and operating as it should, very very good condition.
Thank you very much the iPhone is not in mint condition, is actually brand new. Definitely my first choice for future buying.
As a seller on this platform, it is by far the best selling experiences I've had. No ridiculous eBay fees & swappa will stand by their sellers in cases of buyer mistake or buyer's remorse.
Wide selection of products at good prices and in great condition. I've bought AirPods and an iPhone from swappa and was 100% satisfied with both. Will definitely use again. Highly recommended.

The site was great to shop on. The price and quality of the phones was great. Had some issues but all were handled as well as possible and resulting in a great shopping experience. Felt that the sellers have your back here
Provides a trusted and easy way to offload old devices! You get peace of mind due to the requirement for PayPal transactions, as well as identifying any devices with blacklisted IMEI
My experience with swappa is Excellent. Swappa works very closely to help Buyers & Sellers both for a smooth transaction.
Using Swappa was very simple and the phone that I ordered on there came in Great condition and arrived very fast. I also got a great deal on it compared to other sites.
Tip for consumers:
If you want a deal on a phone, don't be afraid to ask. I asked and the seller accepted my offer.

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.
Swappa was founded in 2010 by Ben Edwards, a long-time software and mobile developer.
The inspiration for Swappa sparked when Ben had trouble finding a good source for test devices for Android development projects. Turning to eBay and Craigslist proved perilous and time-wasting for buying mobile phones. Blacklisted phones, junk devices, inefficient communication, and downright fraud plagued the antiquated marketplaces.
Knowing there had to be a better way, Swappa began as a side-project to build a better marketplace for buying and selling quality mobile devices. Safety, simplicity, low fees, and the "human factor" made Swappa different then and still do to this day.
From the first Swappa sale (a Motorola Droid) to millions of dollars per month in commerce, Swappa has grown to be the ultimate used tech marketplace. We enjoy creating technology that makes it easy for people to directly sell devices to other consumers and everything we do revolves around this concept.
