Golden Standard Buybacks Reviews 99

This has been a horrible experience. I sent an iPhone 16promax 1tb in very good condition and was offered $879. That was Dec 11 and have received two pmts with promises after promises that the remaining amt owed would be sent. That has not happened yet and it is March 9th. They still owe me $424.79 which includes 2 10% bonus pmts for the delays. I have tried and tried but the just won’t pay so I guess I’ll have to do like others and contact the Texas Attorney General’s office for help

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!! THEY ARE A SCAM!!!

I sent my wife's phone in last December. Zero response. Two months later I began chasing their "customer service" which is a text message chain they stop responding to. At least 40 attempts to get paid what was due for the phone. Then they went silent. Still - no response and no payment.

Do not fall for this scam like I did!! They suggest they pay the highest amount for your phone - and then pay you nothing and don't even respond to communications.

I have contacted the McCallen FBI agency and reported that they are operating an illegal business. The owners should be put in prison for cybercrime!!!

Great customer will definitely recommend

Just a follow up on a previous review. I was eventually paid after nearly 3 months they used PayPal. Look CLOSELY at the reviews! You will notice several with the last name of “Labrada” giving rave reviews. Guess what the last name of the person that paid me with PayPal? Labrada! Coincidence I think not, seller beware! These bastards are really slick cons!

Received payment on 03/26/26 - gentlemen sounded sincere and they had a bunch of issues that happened, He said he understands that they need to do better even when these things happen. I told him I would update my review for him so hopefully he keeps his word and makes everything right.

Been since December and still not paid a penny, they don't respond except generated responses. "Hi Douglas,

We are very sorry as this is our busiest time of the year and we did have a death within the office a few weeks back that we are still recovering from, which caused some delays. Your phones did seem to have low battery health so you should be receiving a call from our sales team to close your transaction hopefully today or after the new year! I will go ahead and put you in queue for the new customer bonus as well!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Sincerely,
GoldenStandardBuybacks"

"We are currently awaiting our scheduled transfer, which is expected to clear by Monday, or no later than Tuesday. Once received, your payment will be released immediately."
"Thank you for contacting us!
We are closed today (Monday) following Super Bowl weekend. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but we’ll be back tomorrow and will respond promptly once we return.
We truly appreciate your patience and support!?

never a call, response, payment, return of MY phones

**Completely Do Not Recommend**

I sent my phone to Golden Standard Buybacks for an agreed $933 payout. They confirmed receipt of my device but never paid the full amount.

I did not authorized partial payments but they did anyways. I received a small amount and then only received $400 via Zelle, sent from a secondary account listed as **Imperial Homes LLC (Golden Standard Buybacks Secondary Account)** — not directly from their main business account. The remaining $288 has not been paid, and my phone was never returned.

During the delay, I was given multiple excuses:

* “Death within the office”
* “Pending bank issue”
* “Payment already sent”
* “Waiting on bank confirmation”

No proof of any pending payment was ever provided. Communication eventually stopped.

Based on my experience, I completely DO NOT recommend sending your device to this company. Please be cautious!!!!!

don't use this buyback platform. its been 3 months and they still owe me. horrible experience.

Bought an iPhone 16 pro max, transaction went well, nothing wrong with the phone

Great experience! Everything went smoothly from start to finish. The item was exactly as described, in excellent condition, and works perfectly. Fast responses, fair price, and very reliable seller. Highly recommend!

The customer service experience with Erv was great as he was very helpful and updated me constantly along the way. I’m very happy with my purchase and recommend doing business with them.

Con artists! Wont pay you when they get your phones. Offered me about $525 for two phones. After two months PayPal me $270 and promised the balance later. Two weeks later they wont respond to any communication. TOTAL SCAM OPERATION.
UPDATE**** I filed a police report with their local police department in McAllen Tx. They said send GSBB an email giving them 2 weeks to pay or Im filing charges for theft by deception. Guess what? PayPal me the balance due within a week! Still took a LOT of hassle and time to get paid! Took about 3 months! I still will never deal with this company again!

they have stole my money, this is fake. I filed a police report

This is a big run around and strange. They took forever to get back to me. Once they did, they gave me a legitimate reason to reduce the price, which was fine. Now that it's time for payment, I am getting a huge run around and haven't been paid. Their tracking shows they have had my phones almost 2 months now. Other Company's that I have used were very responsive and quick.

First of all it took over a month for them to even look at my phone. Then it took another 2-1/2 weeks to get payment. They also gave me $130 less than they offered me. Saying the screen had scratches. I stated the screen had scratches when I sent the statistics. That being said, even if the screen needed to be replaced they don’t cost $130. They also promised a $10 new customer bonus which I never received. So all I have to say is “seller beware “. I went with them because they offered the highest amount. I would suggest checking out more buyers if you decide to take this route. You know that old saying…..if it sounds too good to be true it usually is!

Sold my 2 iPhones to this company for $739 01-01-26-46419 & 01-01-26-46420 they received my 2 iPhones Jan 6, 2026 No Payment Received. They have given me a lot of excuses no payment scammers stay away

I’m so glad I chose this company to sell my used cell phone! The process was simple and smooth. I was treated with professionalism and fairness. I would 100% recommend them!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The transaction was smooth, fast, and stress-free. I was very glad with the offer and truly feel I got top dollar for my phone. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking to sell their device.

I had a pleasant experience with this company. I had an extra phone I wasn’t using. They gave me top dollar and zero hassle.

I had an extra phone I didn’t need. They gave me a great offer for it. Everything went smoothly. Awesome customer service. Totally recommend
