I had a problem with my shipping address due to the fact that Swappa has to use the one that's listed on Paypal, but the seller and Swappa helped me to quickly fix the problem. My phone came in great condition, as advertised, soon after. In addition, the phone was much cheaper than Amazon's listing. I would definitely recommend Swappa to others. It would be nice if it were possible to search phones listed in order of price or other criteria, though.

Very successful service
January 13, 2017

Plain and simple. Just as advertised. Safe, straightforward service. Wouldn't go anywhere else. No problems and no confusions. I like how the service checks the codes on phones to make sure their not stolen and they are all unlocked phones.

Good sellers, great staff!
January 13, 2017

I purchased a nexus 4 on Swappa as a replacement for my previous budget device (a $20 Moto E from Wal-Mart). The first phone I bought was defective (missing touch on the right cm of screen). Both the seller and Swappa staff couldn't have been more courteous. Swappa staff walked me and the seller through the return and refund process via an open chat discussion.

My second time around, I purchased yet another nexus 4 from a different seller, for the same price. The second nexus 4 is flawless, and works perfectly (it even came with some cool accessories).

I've never sold on Swappa before, but if it's anything like buying on Swappa, I'm in!

I recently bought my second cell phone on Swappa. I rate this site 5 stars. Both were great experiences and I had excellent communication with the Sellers. This second phone was a Christmas gift for my husband new in the box. I suggest that if you need a replacement phone or want to purchase a new cell phone with no monthly payments, then check out Swappa.com

Best place to buy a phone
January 12, 2017

I've bought two phones through Swappa.com from two different sellers - a Galaxy Note 4 and an LG G5. Swappa requires a photo with unique numbers the seller has to include to demonstrate that the phone in the pictures is the phone being sold. I feel safe buying from them because they have a system set up to essentially guarantee the phone being sold is the phone I'm going to receive, in the condition the seller claims. They have an excellent customer service system and response time, and are paying close attention to each transaction. Both transactions I've done at Swappa.com were smooth. The phones I received were exactly as the sellers described. I feel a LOT safer buying at Swappa than Ebay, by far! And I've saved hundreds of dollars. I won't buy a used phone anywhere else.

Great website!
January 12, 2017

The website is very clean and organized. I found what I wanted for a good price, had it shipped to me earlier than expected, and the device was in perfect condition! I've already recommended it to other people and use it to help them find new devices!

Only way to a used or new cell phone.
January 12, 2017

Several phones bought and all deals were very smooth. Might take a little time to look and find what you what. But alternatives and comparisons really help

Great phone marketplace
January 9, 2017

Swappa makes buying a smartphone a breeze. Easily see what is available at the current prices, filter easily by memory size/model, and interact with buyers instantly. No hidden fees and pre-screened devices (no cracked screens, clean imei, etc) makes this a great place to get a new phone, or to unload your current one hassle free.

Date of experience: January 9, 2017

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.
