Swappa is this first site I have seen in long time that is trustworthy. I'm glad to do business with them and will continue too!
I have bought and sold many phones on Swappa. The process is very simple, straightforward and inexpensive compared to other online sites.
Awesome experience on Swappa, Excellent seller item better then described, I would purchase from this seller again... Swappa has the best devices you won't be disappointed great prices, excellent customer care another satisfied buyer from swappa.com
Swappa staff they are very helpful and they always there for you. Thanks
At first I was hesitant to use Swappa. I had never heard of it before and I couldn't find any reviews other then a reddit post. It turned out to be really easy. I bought an iPhone 6 for my mom. It was described as mint condition, with the box and cables. It came exactly as described. Great experience, I will be using Swappa for future phone purchases
I was looking for a new device, and eBay was too cluttered. I'd heard about Swappa and figured I'd browse. Prices were comparable. I found the right fit for me and purchased.
I really liked the in-app messaging - everything was clearly documented if there was a dispute. I also liked that they forced the seller to include pictures and verify certain things in order to even have a listing.
Unit arrived as described, seller was good to work with. Swappa jumped in the conversation a few times too, which gave me a sense of comfort knowing there was something/someone there. On every message there's a button you can click if you need help, which I assume flags a human to jump in. Swappa really seems to focus on protecting the buyer.
My first stop for mobile device shopping in the future will be Swappa.
This was the 5th time I purchased a phone on Swappa but my first experience with a phone that was not what I expected. I was pleasantly surprised that there were no problems returning the phone for a full refund.
Deal was super fast, smooth and superior to anything I've purchased on Ebay.
Thanks for a great phone at a great price!
Swappa is thee best place to buy and sell your device. I love that the Staff is on site watching the comments from the buyer and seller so that things stay in control from unacceptable language and unsafe transaction.
Swappa is a great place to get good and trusted phones.

Swappa is hands down the best place to buy/sell devices. The site is designed well and the process is very smooth and easy to understand. I will be going to swappa for all my used phone buying and selling needs.
My first time using Swappa I purchased two phones for my children within about 3 days. The experience was super smooth, with easy and fast communication with the sellers. I received my phones within two days of making the purchase. Would definitely recommend and use Swappa again.
Super fast delivery and arrived in excellent condition as advertised.
I'm so glad i found this site! I have gotten 3 phones from swappa so far and have been extremely pleased with all of them! Shipping is always fast and there's any device from any carrier you can think of. The customer service is great, they respond quickly to any emails you send. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to purchase new devices.
Recently bought a Lumia Icon after getting burned on eBay. The phone came in even BETTER condition than described! Swappa feels much more personal and a great community to do business with.
Looking forward to more!
Couldn't be happier. There was a shipping snafu, USPS' fault entirely, but otherwise the transaction went off without a hitch.
Needed to replacement phone quickly, and did not want to buy another new phone. Craigslist is not the place I would choose to perform this type of transaction. A friend recommended Swappa, so I gave it a shot. Turned out perfect!
I am elong time bayer, was hesitant to buy from Swappa, did not know anything about them until saw a friend of mine talking about them on his Facebook. Gave it a try and got very nice deal (iPhone 6s plus 64 gb). Now I have full confidence upon them.

Answer: Yes, you should remove and keep your SIM card when you sell your used phone. SIM cards are tied to your account, so are not transferable. More information and why in our FAQ: https://swappa.com/faq/sell/sim_card_included
Answer: Because they are scammers and a holes. They can't be bothered with you. Awful site. Use eBay instead.
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.
