Playing Games
September 23, 2022

Usell is horrible! I sent the wrong phone and wanted to get it back. I've sent dozens of emails all I get back is computer generated messages. I've called there so call 800 number NO RESPONSE! They say they get to within 24 hours that's a LIE! I've contacted the better business department let's see where this goes. Usell is SCAM. They have my phone close to 10 days

Scam, total rip off
April 12, 2023

Just got my check today, for $3.00. The problem is, I sent 10 units, I should have been paid $30.00. I took the time to check each one and made sure it met every requirement. Filled out the paper work on line ( would only permit 1 unit entry on form). Enclosed packing slip, indicating 10 units. Got e mail asking if i wanted the deal, said, no, i sent 10 units, got $3.00 any way.
Long story short, find other dealers to sell to, this one is no good.

Lies lies lies
June 25, 2020

Throw your phone away. Easier and cheaper than trying to send it to these people. They claim they'll give you... $50! $45! Maybe $30!
Oh, but when you mail it to them something's amiss... every time..."oh- so sorry, your phone is worth $1, accept our offer or we'll ship it back."
Fraud, fraud, fraud.

My wonderful son, who was a vent-dependent quadriplegic for almost 30 years, died and I sent his old ipod to usell. Got the email that they'd received the box but over two weeks later I had received nothing more. I send in a request the it be looked into and received back a notice that I'd sent them a iphone6 instead of the ipod. This so did not happen. Then they tell me that they have no market for an iphone6 and they will recycle it for. Me. I told them that I want my ipod back and they shouldn't try to rip off little old grieving ladies! Let's see if I ever hear another word!

Rip off!
November 17, 2020

I wish I would've read reviews prior to sending in my iPad mini. It worked fine, almost perfect condition but after sending in, recd msg that there was a slight imperfection so only worth $1.00! What a joke! Next time I'll take my next device and get more pleasure by smashing it!

A cool item
August 4, 2022

Order was filled quickly. Assembly of item from stepladder was difficult for me. Difficult to judge distance up close with only one eye. However the assembly was completed from good directions. No other problems were encountered.

Liars
May 17, 2022

My phone was in good condition. The website offered me $45. I mailed it in and they said it was damaged - so they offered me $1! I had read the reviews and thought - well my phone is in good condition - I won't believe those reviews! Liars they are! Believe the reviews! I am so mad! I'd rather donate it than have them pay me a buck! Shame on you Usell!

Aaron's Iphone
July 4, 2022

Overall, the only thing I was disturbed was the pay for my iPod. It was a brand-new device, never been used, but you guys downgraded it to being "fair" device. That was very disappointing as at that time really needed the funds.

USell offered the best price compared to the many other used electronics marketplaces I explored. Once I accepted their offer, the process of sending in my device and getting paid was super easy. I was able to login and check the progress of the process at anytime, and received my payment within the expected timeframe. I definitely had a positive experience and would recommend uSell to anyone.

The worst!
March 16, 2021

I would have given zero stars if I could but had to choose one. Sent Samung Galaxy only two years old. Excellent condition no damage. Never been taken out of the protective case. Was supposed to get $120. Now wants to pay $27. Buyer lies an says there's water damage. IMPOSSIBLE! Phone never dropped nor has any water damage. I'm insulted! Told them to send my phone back & it better be in the same condition that I sent it in! This company deals with dishonest ppl. DO NOT SELL YOUR PHONE TO THIS COMPANY! You will regret it. They are LIARS!

Usell.com is a scam. Two weeks since my iPhone arrived and my account states "3-5 days for payment." The only option for contact is *******@usell.com and nobody ever replies. Seeing all these bad reviews, it would make sense to consider a class action lawsuit. I plan on following up. Usell.com is a scam, do not use them.

I mailed a like new condition iPhone 8 to USell on 9/1/19. Their automated system shows it was received on 9/6. Since this time I have received zero feed back on my device or any sort of payment. I have attempted on 6 occasions to contact USell however all calls and email have been ignored.

Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this company. They are running a scam.

This is a good website
December 1, 2014

This is a good website. I used them once before, but after checking around I was able to get better money for my items somewhere else. They are a comparison website so you are not selling to them so maybe that is why some people here have had problems using them, but if you consider what they do, they do it well.

I recently sent a phone to them for resell. The phone was in perfect condition, but due to their packaging it got damaged and will not honor the price quoted. I would not use this company.

I sent in a damaged phone back in early Sept and now more than a month later and still waiting for a response IT shows received, however there is no response to multiple e-mails asking for a status update. I can't find any other way to contact them, seems to be a complete rip-off.

ETA: I contacted them again yesterday after posting this review and then this morning a payment had been issued! No response to any of my e-mails, however something certainly got them to issue a payment response. They received my phone on 9/3/19 and payment was finally received on 10/8/19. Updating my review from 1 star to 2 stars.

U sell buys back your old cell phones while giving you top dollar for a used phone. You can also sell ipads, text books, ipods, and video games. The site has been featured all over the news so it is legitimate and gets you paid fast!

Worked for me
April 28, 2015

The site was really easy to use and select the correct options for me. Shipping was free and they paid the amount agreed upon. Took a few weeks, but it was completed. Got $81 for my iPhone, which isn't much in my opinion. But it was the easiest way to sell it for me.
