Great place to buy phones!

The buying process is easy, they shipped fast and I've had good experiences with the two devices I've bought so far! They've arrived in like-new condition!

Awesome experience

Awesome experience. Prefer working with individual sellers vs business sellers as the product displayed may not be the ACTUAL phone. I want to know for sure what I am buying.

Amazing Way to Sell

This was my very first sell using Swappa, and very soon after my item was approved for my listing, I had a buyer! The process was very easy, and I would highly recommend using this app to sell or buy!

Shop confidently.

Shop confidently.

It’s nice to see the number of transactions & ratings each seller has, so when you make a purchase you’re more likely to get what you’re looking for without worrying about being sold a bill of goods with no return policy in place.

Quality used phones

I've bought my last three used, unlocked phones on Swappa and have had a good experience each time. Product was in good condition, as described. I appreciate having a place to buy quality, used phones.

My first experience with Swappa

My first experience with Swappa went very well. The purchase, for me, was a considerable amount so I was a bit apprehensive. In the end, the product was as described and the shipping was prompt.

Review

Product organization and layout are great. It would be nice if sellers posted the battery health provided in Android phones that send to be the big unknown when buying on Swappa.
