I haven't used swappa before, so I chose to interact with a company instead of an individual user. Had a great experience, phone came in condition promised, worked perfectly, saved me a few hundred bucks!

Great site for phone purchase
August 29, 2016

Swappa was recommended by a Verizon employee when I didn't want to pay for a new phone. I like how organized and easy to use the site was. The phone arrived two days after ordering and was in perfect shape although the vendor listed it as good. I've told others about Swappa.

Mint condition
August 29, 2016

My son told us about Swappa just at the time my wife needed a phone upgrade. He mentioned all the safeguards in place to give the buyer confidence in the representation of the product. Found a phone the fit her needs, listed as in mint condition. Just received it, and it is indeed in mint condition. Purchased it on the 23rd and received it on the 26th. Can't beat that!

Swappa was easy to use and device centric experience, unlike other well known resale and auction websites. A great experience.

Easy way to buy a phone or tablet
August 25, 2016

Swappa has an easy to use, intuitive website. I was easily able to find the product I wanted, search through the listings, communicate with the seller and complete the transaction. I've used Swappa twice and will continue to use it.

I've been a swappa seller and buyer for a few years - as seller the fees are less than ebay - as buyer the protections are also less than ebay - however - if you are buying from a reputable seller, with a few years and deals on the site - you are relatively safe. If the deal is too good to be true - it probably is not true:-)

Having said that - Swappa is a welcome alternative to Ebay for devices. Also remember to check out https://swappa.com/boneyard where you find less than pristine or broken devices.
