This was a great purchasing experience. I'm picky about my electronics, and this phone was literally mint condition. I couldn't tell it from new.

Great transaction
August 20, 2016

The whole sales process was so good, especially compared to a recent similar experience on *bay. Night and day better on Swappa.

I feel that the phones sold here are much more accurately described than elsewhere.

The seller was certainly great to deal with.

I will SO use Swappa again!
August 20, 2016

Love that the item has to be mailed within 2 business days. Quick easy transactions, PayPal guarantee, and easy to follow instructions for everything, including what/how to check the item before you complete the transaction saying "complete".

I was a little leery at first because I had never heard of swappa. But after using swappa, I am more than glad that I chose to get an account and will be using swappa in the future. Great site, great helpful staff, and I couldn't be more happy with the product I've received.

I've been using Swappa for about two years now. I've purchased and sold several devices through them, and the experience has been absolutely stellar. They charge a very reasonable flat fee, provide security by verifying the IMEI, ensuring the phone has no debt on it, and stay on top of the sale very well. Swappa is my go to site for buying or selling cell phones, smart watches and accessories. Much easier and better than other options.

Very happy with Swappa
August 18, 2016

Swappa is great. I had an amazing experience, my item was sent to me very quickly, and I would definitely buy from Swappa again in the future. I have had horrible experiences with other websites where I have bought iPhones from, but when I bought my iPhone from Swappa, the item came so fast, and came exactly as described. I would recommend Swappa to anyone.

Great transaction!
September 18, 2016

Everything was fairly simple. At first I was a bit hesitant just because I wasnt familiar with Swappa and to pay a good amount over an Internet transaction made me a bit uneasy. Main thing for me was just to find the right Seller and I did. She had fantastic reviews. Super fast shipping and the product came as advertised. I've heard good things about Swappa so it made me feel more comfortable and it seems like they have everything well organized and secure.

Outstanding service
August 18, 2016

This is a great way to buy good used android phones. I have bought 4 over the years and my family has bought another 3. It is my go-to source so that I can keep my Verizon unlimited data plan paired with the best smartphones I can afford.
