Caution: you will get ripped of by usell-they will send you a curious looking check-that will bounce. Your back WILL charge you a fee for that little gift. Then you will have to wait for another one that when you take it to the issuing bank- they will NOT honor it. (My bank eventually got it cashed, but not for almost a month). They will also tell you they will repay the bank fee-THEY WILL NOT. I have filed a complaint wilts postal inspectors, because they do this as a business practice.
I sold them an ipod I thought was 3rd generation but once they received it they realized it was 4th generation, notified me, and are now sending me more money than originally offered. Thankful for that and their honesty!
I sent them in a phone in LG that was in Flawless condition didn't so much as have a scratch on it the phone was barely two months old they turned around email me and told me it was damaged and down the price on what they would give me big time to $3 from $40 in perfect condition when it left my home I am now waiting for the return of it and it better still be in perfect condition because that phone was not damaged when I mailed it
This was a horrific experience, i was given a quote of about 100$ for my iphone i thought why not and decided to ship it to them, after almost 2 weeks i got the mailing packet finally and shipped it to them, no email no calls nothing for 2 weeks again, when i contact them myself they told me we sent u a check for 9$, i said what is 9$ i was quoted 100 and got the most vague excuse about the market going up and down and my phone has a scratch here or there basically saying total bs, i demanded my phone back and they said no read the terms and conditions which is longer then the declaration of independence right... people need to be aware of this scam and avoid usell unless you want to send them your valuable phone for free.
The site was really easy to use and select the correct options for me. Shipping was free and they paid the amount agreed upon. Took a few weeks, but it was completed. Got $81 for my iPhone, which isn't much in my opinion. But it was the easiest way to sell it for me.
This is a good website. I used them once before, but after checking around I was able to get better money for my items somewhere else. They are a comparison website so you are not selling to them so maybe that is why some people here have had problems using them, but if you consider what they do, they do it well.
U sell buys back your old cell phones while giving you top dollar for a used phone. You can also sell ipads, text books, ipods, and video games. The site has been featured all over the news so it is legitimate and gets you paid fast!
Complete and total scam. If you send your phone in, you have two outcomes.
1. Get absolutely nothing. No check, no word about your phone, etc.
2. Wait months and months and months and months and get a check for under 10 bucks.
What's their excuse? Either they didn't get it, or your phone was damaged. Stay away. Far away.
I used Usell a few months ago. I was skeptical however I had seen the ads on TV. Anyways, after sending my device (in good shape) they contacted me saying it was damaged even when I knew it really wasn't. I had two options, take a lower dollar amount or have the item sent back. At the end of the experience, I wasn't a happy camper. A few nights later a neighbor told me about American Buy Back. He said he had used them to sell his company's IT and computer equipment.
After a few weeks, I sold them 5 of my obsolete electronics including an original iPhone that was cracked, a damaged BlackBerry, and my retired iPad 2 that I had cracked by dropping it. I went through their site's catalog to find each of my items then sent them in using a pre-paid (free) shipping label. I chose to get paid via PayPal since I trust their security and have used PayPal a ton in the past. Long story short, I was paid exactly what their site stated within 3 days from shipping. I simply couldn't believe it. Some of the other ‘buy back' sites have tried playing games before by saying an item I say is in good condition is really in poor or similar. The entire experience was terrific and their communication was top notch.
They show the commercial on Cartoon network and make kids go to there website and sell there cells for a cheap price. For me i would rather throw my phone in the garbage before i sell it to them
Answer: There is no customer service is automated and they say one business day and they'll get back to you which means never
