Excellent experience
August 7, 2016

The professionalism of the staff and the excellent communication between myself and the seller was by far the best I've ever experienced. I will only be using this site from now on.

Awsome
August 7, 2016

Sale was quick, required no communication with seller.
The Item arrived on time but my Office was closed(weekend). This was bought for my brother who has been bragging about how "Awsome" it is to everyone. And as far as the condition of the Item or Phone, imagine you drive a 98' Honda and your looking at Ferrari... affordability considered ~ decide between a used model BMW or LEXUS. The screen actually looks new, now as far as the Body/Case of the phone you may want a case to protect your investment. I highly recommend this Seller and site.

Love my new phone!
August 7, 2016

I was very apprehensive about buying a phone online. I greatly appreciate my positive experience on Swappa.com! My phone was delivered very quickly and in perfect condition. I saved hundreds of $$ and I will purchase on Swappa in the future!

Both the seller and Swappa staff were great. I had some questions about how Swappa works and how to ensure that a mint mobile phone was not refurbished and the Swappa staff responded quickly & accurately to all emails. I was very impressed with the service and would happily use Swappa again for buying a hardly-used-likely-never-used mobile phone. It is a pleasure to deal with professionals.

Buying phone on Swappa
September 6, 2016

I found Swappa to be a good experience; my first seller turned out to be a confused and conflicted little girl who was unable to fulfill delivery, and Swappa staff helped me through that; the 2nd attempt went through fine, quickly, fair price, fast delivery, device exactly as described. I would recommend Swappa.

Smooth Transaction

Bought an iPhone 6 on Swappa, phone arrived quickly and in condition advertised. This is our 2nd phone bought through this site. Probably won't be the last.

As a seller, Swappa is horrible. I had a buyer buying a working Iphone and then the preak turner around, said that the phone was not working properly. I had to return the money but when I received the phone, was a different Iphone. Not only the body was different but the IMEI number was different. I even asked Swappa before the refund if they could receive the phone and test it (as I knew it was working) but NO. Sorry, your loss... Again, another website who is only concerned with their slice of pie. STAY AWAY. You are better off at Ebay where they at least try something...

Great value, No contract.
August 4, 2016

I've bought several phones on swappa and never had a problem. The last phone I bought I was able to get for less than what the carrier wanted with no contract with a brand new phone, it just makes sense.

Excellent site!
August 4, 2016

Is the first time I buy in swappa, a friend recommended me swappa and I tried it... My experience was great, you feel confident buying a cellphone because they have some rules that sellers need to accomplish to get the listing approved what makes you feel secure about buying.

Love this site!
August 4, 2016

This is my second transaction purchasing iPhones with Swappa. I feel secure using Swappa knowing they are monitoring the transaction until it is completed. Both transactions have been without any issues, smooth and simple.

I highly recommend Swappa to anyone who wants a secure, easy transaction.

Swappa Shoppa
August 4, 2016

It's always a little bit worrisome to send money to strangers who promise everything's mint, perfect. And, we are novices--buying online and stepping into smartphone technology for the first time.
So it was with some trepidation that we bought the cell phone.
But we were very happy with the transaction. Swappa is a very friendly site that eases worries from the get-go by being both non-technical in its outreach yet radiating complete technical competence when it comes to the devices it handles.
The seller whose product we chose was extremely prompt, friendly, accommodating. An excellent experience.
We would highly recommend buying your next phone through Swappa.

Have used multiple times both to buy and sell phones. Great thing about Swappa is you can trust that the process will work or Swappa will fix the problem. Will continue to use for years to come.

The only place to Buy/Sell
August 2, 2016

The site is easy to use when browsing phones for sale. Putting phones up for sale is just as easy because a lot of it goes though Paypal. Overall I always come here to look for new phones before anywhere else.
