Compare Swappa vs Gazelle

"The site has a variety of phones for sales, a majority of them are mint condition"

"Gazelle’s offer was significantly higher than the other sites. Within 3 days of their receipt of my phone, I received an email stating that they were increasing their offer and that my payment would arrive in 3-5 days. It was in my Paypal account two hours later. This satisfied customer is a talker and I will generously share this story with others. Thank you for your exemplary customer service throughout the process!!"

"Terrible service. Paid for feature and the. They removed it because I lowered the price. Company is a scam. Not only that. They never replied to my emails but replied to this review. Shady. Even the reply is untrue. They charged for feature and it’s not active after their employees approved the ad. Had to dispute the charges"

"I did a trade-in of an iPad Pro 12.9 256GB Gray Wi-Fi Only in near perfect condition. Thinking I was protecting myself on the rare chance there was a mishap, I took photos of the front and back prior to packaging and sending off to Gazelle. Gazelle received my device soon thereafter (Nov 15 2023), assessed my trade-in as scratched in excess and they downgraded my valuation from $469 to $216. If the iPad I traded in is indeed now scratched, it was done after receiving the device by Gazelle.I used Gazelles packaging and followed their instructions. After learning of the downgrade in validation, I called (on Nov 15) provided photo evidence and asked for an escalation to re-examine, hoping they made an honest mistake. 3 weeks later and after many phone calls and unfulfilled promises, I hear the same thing every time I call: We dont have a status update, we are sending an email to the warehouse, you will receive an update directly from the warehouse in 2-3 days. I dont know if this is fraud, incompetence, or theft but I am out $469 on a trade-in of a perfectly good device. I really wish I would have taken what Apple offered, $400. Yes, I am ****! I really wish I would have researched what I thought was a company with a stellar history. With very little hope Gazelle will actually re-examine my device and value it fairly (in line with its condition on trade-in as documented by the included photos), I now am in a state of disgust and feel like I probably lost $469 that I really could have put to good use this Christmas season. User's recommendation: Do NOT trust your trade-in devices with Gazelle. It’s literally not worth it and just might leave you with nothing to show like me."
