"I’ve been looking around for a new laptop to use for school for a long time now, and I’m so happy to have come across Swappa. I received a great laptop in excellent condition for the price that I wanted! Prompt service. Laptop arrived sooner than I thought. "
"Though there are some extra steps to selling on Swappa, they're only required as means to make things as fair as possible for both the buyer and seller. Selling anywhere else is second to selling on Swappa, as you'll find that you get nicer buyers and make more money for the phones you've taken care of. I've had the best experiences overall as both a buyer and seller on Swappa versus other selling platforms like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and even eBay. "
"Overall I would recommend Swappa for buying used electronics. I find you can get a better deal than other places and have purchased several phones from there. I've had an issue with a phone not arriving in the condition listed, but Swappa was aware and the seller refunded me. Returns were a little unclear as it is totally up to the seller and buyer. Had to clarify with Swappa and print my own label, which the seller than reimbursed me for. Ease of use can largely depend on the seller if they are not cooperative though and if feel you are in the wrong and that might make it more tricky to get a return. I think Swappa should have a little more power at making sure refunds get made if needed."
"I bought a MacBook Pro in great condition from Abdi H on the Swappa site. It was just as described, I received it quickly, and it was well wrapped and packed.
As a first-time Swappa and Abdi H. customer, I’m very pleased. Thank you!"
"I have not many phones from Swappa all have been excellent experiences"
"Unlike eBay, Swappa allows sellers to pocket more money so that we don't have to overprice our products in order to make a profit. The staff are prompt to respond to any inquiries or questions and seem to be very knowledgable on the guidelines and best practices for selling and buying. The interface for creating a listing is straight forward, easy to use and understand, and allows you to get your item posted quickly with no listing fees. The price to feature a listing is low at $5 where your item is featured indefinitely until it is sold. Again, unlike eBay, Swappa makes your money instantly available on PayPal. Swappa is a very safe website to buy and sell items as they take precautionary measure to verify device's using the serial number or IMEI. Listings have to have valid and verifiable images in order to be approved. Swappa has seller and buyer resources so that anyone can easily understand what steps to take in certain situations in order to solve a problem."
"Phone was received exactly as advertised and works perfectly. Sellers are honest and upfront with their buyers and always communicate well. They even sometimes are willing to negotiate for a slightly lower price. The site itself imposes strict guidelines for sellers to list their phones for sale, so there’s little chance of being scammed or receiving a broken or blacklisted phone. Overall, very reliable and a great site to get amazing deals on a phone!"
"great website, smaller than eBay but more trustworthy in my opinion. Love the user interface; each product has a handy comment section. Was very satisfied with my purchase. Swappa has "Complete Sale" confirmation page after buying so you can resolve issues if any."
"They advertise "Safe, friendly marketplace," but my one and only experience with them was a nightmare. I purchased a phone secondhand after reading mostly positive reviews online. I received a broken phone. I thought it would be an easy process to return and get my money back. It was anything but.
After the seller accused me of lying and breaking the phone, Swappa "Help" (if you can call them that) simply said we don't handle returns. Contact Paypal. I'm still awaiting refund from Paypal, after Swappa washed its hands clean of any responsibility. I have still not received the $10 refund Swappa charged.
I have purchased many electronic devices from Ebay sellers and never had any experience similar to Swappa's swamp. Stay FAR away from Swappa."
"Smooth transaction! Hope to sell again soon."
"Kevin was easy to deal with and was very responsive in his communications. Phone arrived a day earlier than expected and was as described. I would not hesitate do business with again!"
"Don't trust them unless you check the IMEI number yourself. They cannot verify anything. I got scammed from a seller who gave me a stolen/ blacklisted iphone. He refused to refund me. I contacted my bank and they said they will take long time for investigation. Swappa staff are horrible/ They don't help at all. All they said that they cannot refund me because they are not a perfect system so it is normal to have thieves and scammers on their website. I have everything documented. "
"Clear directions, great website, easy to price appropriately. Easy to use as a buyer and as a seller. "
"I used Swappa for the first time to buy a smartphone and smartwatch. Great experience from the site and both sellers. I will definitely come back here again if I need something that someone here is selling."
"My first (and only) experience selling on Swappa was superb. It was incredibly easy to create a listing, the listing review process was very smooth. Almost immediately after publishing my listing, messages and offers from potential buyers starting pouring in. It was also simple to make modifications to my listing, be it for pricing or other details. Swappa's interface is a pleasure to navigate and easy to understand and use.
Once my device sold, I promptly received payment through PayPal and had access to the funds within a day. Furthermore, when I requested help from Swappa customer service for guidance regarding my transaction, I received a response in under 30 minutes. Overall, selling on Swappa was a great experience, and I'll be back again. Oh, and the fees required to sell on Swappa were reasonable as well."
