While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Checked the functionality of my device in various ways before sending it in. Sent it in, was told the device wouldn’t power on. Asked for them to send it back (which they guarantee they can), was fed... See more

TechPayout gave me the highest offer of all of the other buyback websites, so that was obviously a huge win. They also paid for shipping and paid me out the same day they got my phone (possibly next d... See more

Great transaction each time

I've used TechPayout a few times now and each time my item was processed quickly and I received the expected payment immediately upon the completion of their review. I've received exactly what I expected and haven't had any issues. Recommended, especially for items that some other sites don't take, like watches and more obscure tech.

Totally Satisfied!

I obtained a quote to sell my second cellphone that is no longer being used. I received the payment for the first cellphone that I sent to TechPayout. Although the payment for the first cellphone took a couple of days more than it should have, that was entirely the result of the US mail system. After I received the payment for the first cellphone, I obtained a quote for the second cellphone and dropped the package off at the local UPS store. Three days later I received an email from TechPayout saying that the second cellphone had been received and was accepted with no changes to the quote, which was the same result I received with the first cellphone. I expect I will receive the payment for the second cellphone sometime next week. Everything worked as expected and I am totally satisfied with the experience. Highly recommended!

This service is slow

This service is slow. It took several days to hear from them, and now I printed a UPS label and sent in my merchandise and still haven't heard anything from them.

The process of selling my phone to…

The process of selling my phone to TechPayout was pretty easy and painless. Not wanting to incur any transfer fees from PayPal, I chose to receive my payment in the form of a check. The website mentioned that it would take 5 business days to receive the check. I was a little concerned when I check the mailbox on business day 5 and it wasn't there. However it was in my mailbox the very next day. I would highly recommend these folks and will likely use them again next time I have a phone to sell.

Was offered a very fair price for my Motorola G6. Expected an e-mail telling me something was wrong with it, screen was scratched, etc, and that they could not honor their initial offer and try to low ball me. It has happened to me before with a different company. Pleasantly surprised to get an e-mail telling me everything was fine and getting paid the same day. Very pleased, I'll certainly try to use them again.

Fantastic experience!

Fantastic experience. Was skeptical to send my phone out because of all the scams out there, but they were 100% legitimate. Sent my phone, printed the label, shipped it, and got paid nice and quick. A+

Searched the internet for sites that would take my practically new phone and give me a good price. So glad I came across this site, they gave me way more than other sites had offered for my phone. I will gladly keep this company in mind for future phones, plus payment was quick! Thank you so much!
