Using Swappa was a very simple process. It's very easy to track your conversations with the seller and interact on the sale pages. A+

I was very pleased with my experience with the swappa site and the ease of service in purchasing a used iPhone 5C for a friend. The entire process took less than a week.

Swappa is a great option if you do not want to upgrade your phone with your cartier and add two years to your contract. This is the second phone that we have purchased. Good quality phone, great cost, and I received it within three four days after I purchased it

IPHONE 6 PLUS PURCHASE
August 1, 2016

Everything went incredibly smoothly. The phone was received as described and in only two business days! Couldn't be happier with Swappa. It did take 4 hours to find a Sim card for the phone, but that has nothing to do with the services rendered from the website. Thanks guys!

Awesome
August 1, 2016

I was very pleased with the experience. It arrived a day late, but that was USPS doing what it does, not the seller's fault. I'm very satisfied!

I found this site by accident and was really surprised to find that Swappa checks out the phones to be sure they are as listed and they are not stolen. The staff are really responsive and I would recommend this site to anyone buying a phone!

Great Site and Staff and Seller
July 29, 2016

The purchase of a new iPhone on this site was a pleasurable experience. It was easy to find a suitable device at a very good price. When I did purchase the device, there was a minor problem with the charging cable, but the Swappa staff assisted in getting the issue resolved and I have to give credit to the Seller for correcting the issue. I am very satisfied with both Swappa and the Seller.

Seems fishy, but it aint!
July 29, 2016

I was skeptical about giving the site a try but I went ahead and did it anyways. They had a LG G3 for sale for a good price. I bought it and two days later it was on my door step. I definitely don't regret it!

Very Pleased with the Experience
July 28, 2016

I have purchased two Galaxy S6 phones through Swappa this month. Both experiences have been excellent... quick and easy, and we've saved hundreds on the phones themselves. I am glad Swappa has a rating system for the sellers. This makes me feel more comfortable about buying from a third party. I had a minor issue with the second purchase due to the phone posted for sale was indicated as black and the one shipped to me was white, but that was with the seller, and wasn't a significant issue. I was otherwise pleased with the transaction.

I've used Swappa for 3 phones now, and each experience has been seamless and easy. The staff is vigilant about checking the accuracy and legitimacy of each listing. I especially like tracking the price graphs to know when I'm getting a good deal.

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.
