About Swappa

Swappa was founded by Ben Edwards and launched in December 2010.

Back then, buying used phones online meant dealing with scams, unreliable devices, and shady sellers. We knew there had to be a better way to buy and sell used tech, so we built one.

From day one, our focus has been on safety, transparency, and putting more money back in people's pockets. After 15 years we still have fair fees, low prices, and real humans reviewing listings before going live.

What started with a single Motorola Droid sale has grown into a marketplace handling hundreds of millions of dollars in used tech. What still matters: No junk, no jerks, and fair prices. Swappa is real people buying and selling with safety and confidence.
