Quick response by swappa
December 18, 2016

The customer service at swappa excellent. I felt very insecure when I was making the purchase. They walk me through it and provided knowledge for me to proceed forward and have an awesome smartphone. It's hard to know who to trust on the internet and swappa are in mine

Hello I have used swappa.com over 30 times to check the validity of there ratings. Their slogan is no junk devices. There is no more of a false statement then that. Anyone selling on that site can claim what ever rating they want. Out of the 30 purchases 3 never showed up, 22 showed up completely over stated about quality mint=good, mint=fair in even more cases. 5-6 showed up as described but that had to do with the sellers honesty not the sites, they allow this to go on so that they get their cut of the sale and will do anything to protect that. I am just saying purchase at your own risk because when things go wrong they are of no help to the buyer and get more upset about having to refund your sale fee then the fact that you got screwed out of hundreds of dollars.

2nd Time Buying with Swappa
December 18, 2016

Security and regulation on Swappa is through the roof. I had bad experiences before trying to buy a used phone on eBay, and I've used Swappa twice with no issues and no anxiety about how it will turn out. I never had to wait more than a day or two once I bought my phones, and the process is monitored for everyone's protection throughout. I won't buy a used phone any other way.

Easy Peasy
December 17, 2016

This was my first transaction with Swappa and it went super smooth. Seller had good communication, answered all my questions without hesitation. I felt at ease buying a new to me phone. If I was in the market again for a new phone, I'd definitely look on Swappa

It's my #1 go to place when I need a new smartphone, smartwatch, or Chromebook... or when I'm looking to get rid of old devices. Site is well-polished and the user-base they've attracted is way better than the scammers elsewhere.

I have bought numerous and i mean numerous items on Swappa and only had one problem ever and that was the fact that the seller said something had more memory than it actually did. They check IMEI numbers of all phones listed on their site to make sure there are no activation locks, iclouds, or unpaid bills attached to the device, before allowing it to be listed. They require real photos and Paypal covers all purchases made through them. Love the site and will continue to use it.

Swappa for Ting
December 15, 2016

When Ting sold out of iPhones I was scrambling for a good used phone. Swappa was recommended and my shopping experience went quickly and smoothly. The phone arrived in a few days and appears to be in perfect working condition. I will use this site again in the future.

Pleasantly Surprised
December 15, 2016

This was my first experience purchasing through Swappa. I saw Swappa mentioned in a forum that I frequent, wanted a specific make and model of tablet, and decided to give it a shot. Boy, am I glad I did!

At first I was a bit nervous. Would the item be as described? Would the seller be on the level? Would there be any hidden charges?

Well, everything about the purchase was, for lack of a better term, PERFECT. The seller, the item, the price, and the shipping were all top notch. I'm very pleased with the entire experience.

Great job, Swappa!
