Easy, Fast, Reliable
April 29, 2016

I really appreciate that swappa allows us to leave feedback for sellers like ebay. (I wish they did the same for sellers to leave feedback on buyers.) I use trusted sellers. I also like that you have to put the listing in the picture with the item. No stock photos! I could spend hours on Ebay trying to win a good deal or just come to swappa and snag one almost immediately!

I joined Swappa, but mostly to sell. I used to compare to purchase and found this phone to be what I was looking for at a great price. I received it and it was in great condition, as advertised.

First time buyer on Swappa and gotta say that I'm highly impressed with their service, as well as with the seller I purchased my new Google Nexus 6 (Unlocked) from.

Will shop here from now on, bottom line.
Great service, security, clean ESN devices and snappy shipping, at least in my recent experience.

I see why XDA Developers back these guys!

Saw a phone, contacted the seller who answered my question, purchased the phone and agreed to split expedited shipping, and the seller was sincere and pleasant throughout the transaction. The phone, by the way, is fantastic.

Great experience
April 27, 2016

I was a little hesitant to buy an iPhone from Swappa just because I had never used them before. After receiving my phone quickly and as described I can say the experience was a great one from beginning to end. I like the rules that are in place at swappa as it covers some of the concerns of buying online before you even make a purchase.

My first Swappa buy
April 27, 2016

Just finished my purchase of a Motorola Droid Turbo cell phone with Swappa.com. Their website is awesome and walks you through the whole buying/selling process.

Another great transaction!
April 26, 2016

Swappa is kind of like the eBay experience when eBay was great. The seller was helpful and the swappa team make it clear that they were monitoring the transaction in case something went wrong.

Lovely, social and fast!
April 26, 2016

I loved how straightforward the seller was! The transaction was fast and efficient! The site was much more fluid than eBay has been as of late, and I'm loving the flat fee so far!

Excellect Costomer Service

The first phone sent out had an issue. However when I contacted them about it they sent me a new device out immediately in exchange for the old device. I'm very grateful for their excellent customer service.

I just registered a month back to this site (swappa). With in this time I found 4 to 5 great deals on the phones I/my friends wanted and bought all of them at the best price i can ever get in the market. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a mobile. This is a better site for sellers too. As there is no seller fee and no percentage charge on the sale price. Great site for both Buyers/Sellers to buy their loved phones.

This works
April 25, 2016

I've used Swappa twice - once to sell and once to buy a phone. The experience has been great. Swappa is a professional, responsive site. I feel like the sellers and buyers do a good job of representing products well.

From the business

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.
