If you\u2019re anything like me, you probably have a desk drawer or box full of unused tech. Rather than allow it to gather dust, why not sell it off and get back some of the money you\u2019ve invested? With so many online marketplaces, it\u2019s hard to know exactly where you should sell your used stuff.<\/p>\n
You probably want to avoid low-ball offers and uncomfortable face-to-face meet-ups. You probably also want to keep the seller fees<\/a> as low as possible. When it comes to selling your stuff online, eBay is a household name. But name recognition alone doesn\u2019t automatically make it the best.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re trying to sell electronics, you should look towards a marketplace that specializes in used tech — a marketplace that has no seller fees, such as Swappa.<\/p>\n You should sell your used tech on Swappa because it is the safest (and best) marketplace for used tech<\/a> — keep reading to find out why.<\/p>\n There are a handful of reasons why you should sell your used tech in the Swappa marketplace, but one of the biggest reasons is seller fees. Swappa has fair fees<\/a>, which are split between the buyer and seller — allowing the seller to pocket more money. On Swappa, sellers set their \u201cAsk Price\u201d (the amount they want to sell their item for), and otherwise, they only have to consider the cost of shipping and PayPal\u2019s payment processing fee.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> Swappa Market Fees (Swappa vs eBay)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Devices listed for sale on Swappa must be fully functional. This includes all buttons, ports, the camera, and more. In addition, devices cannot have any cracked or chipped glass, or water damage, they must include a functional battery, and they cannot have an outstanding balance with a carrier.<\/p>\n Essentially, if your device had a feature when it was new, that feature must be working for your device to meet Swappa\u2019s listing criteria requirements. Swappa also doesn\u2019t allow any jerks.<\/a> Without needing to worry about getting a junk device or having to deal with a jerk seller — Swappa is an overall safer and more enjoyable place for buyers and sellers.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> Swappa\u2019s Device Criteria Requirements<\/a> & Listing Review Process<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Swappa is powered by real people — on the staff side and on the buyer and seller side. Swappa works hard to keep the jerks away, which means a better experience for buyers and sellers. The Swappa community of buyers and sellers is a like-minded group of people who simply want to buy and sell gently used tech without having to worry about getting scammed.<\/p>\n And, while we always work to prevent issues before they happen — you shouldn\u2019t stress if there is an issue. At Swappa, a real, honest-to-goodness person is never more than a few clicks away.

They are sort of like a flea market, just done online. But while flea markets are good for certain things, such as collectibles and other hard-to-find items, they aren\u2019t best for buying or selling used tech. You can sell your used smartphones on Swappa, and you can also sell your used video game consoles, games, home tech, cameras, laptops, and wearables, and more. Swappa is a marketplace for used tech. And because we focus on used tech, we know what to look for and how to keep junk from being listed.<\/p>\nWhy Sell on Swappa?<\/h2>\n
