How does selling phones online work?

The process of selling your old, used or even broken phone online can be easy and simple–if you choose the right place to sell. You do not have to visit any physical stores or take your phone anywhere to be evaluated. Everything is done either electronically online or by mail.

How to sell your old mobile phone online?

Here is how to sell your Apple iPhone at Swappie:

1. Start by answering a few questions about your phone. We use these to evaluate the value of your phone. This gives you a better idea of your iPhone’s value as well. In order to evaluate how much your old phone is worth, tell us its model, storage capacity and general details about the device’s condition.
2. If you are happy with the price we offer for your old phone, fill in other details such as your name and address. After this, we will send a shipping label to your email. Make sure to also clear your iPhone before selling it.
3. After we have received your old phone, our professional technicians will inspect it and check if your estimation of the phone’s condition is accurate. In case everything is good, we will send the payment for your phone. When everything is in order and your old phone is as you estimated, you should expect to receive the payment 1–4 days after we have received your phone. 
4. If, on the other hand, there is something wrong with your estimation, we will send you a new price offer. You can either accept the new offer or ask your phone to be sent back. Just like sending your phone to us, the delivery does not cost you anything in this case either.

Is selling my phone online safe?
