sells devices in volume and has a track record of problem-free sales on Swappa. Power Sellers get <strong>Incoming Inventory<\/strong> for building listings in bulk, can use a <strong>profile code<\/strong> in verification photos instead of a new listing code for every device, can use <strong>representative photos<\/strong>, and can connect <strong>ShipStation<\/strong>. Fees are the same as every other seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-wp-bootstrap-buttons\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/business\/register\/power-seller\">Apply to Become a Power Seller<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-Is-a-Swappa-Power-Seller\"><\/span>What Is a Swappa Power Seller?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Power Sellers are businesses that repair, refurbish, or resell devices at high volume on Swappa. The program has two requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A registered US business.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A high number of problem-free sales on Swappa<\/strong>, both to get in and to keep the status once you have it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Power Sellers show a Power Seller badge with their business information on every listing. Their listings still go through Swappa&#8217;s staff review, phones still need an IMEI on the listing, and every device still has to meet the same <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/faq\/answer\/listing-device-criteria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">device criteria<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/faq\/answer\/condition-requirements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">condition requirements<\/a> as any other seller. The program speeds up the work. It does not lower the bar. Swappa&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/faq\/answer\/power-seller-listings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Power Seller FAQ<\/a> has the official summary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Individual-vs-Power-vs-Enterprise-Sellers\"><\/span>Individual vs. Power vs. Enterprise Sellers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Swappa has three seller account types.

You can start listings in any order, pause, and pick up exactly where you left off. It also lets a team split the work: one person uploads IMEIs, another adds photos, and a third writes descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Four-Ways-to-Add-Inventory\"><\/span>Four Ways to Add Inventory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Add Item.<\/strong> Create a single inventory item with its serial number or IMEI, product and variant, condition, price, headline, description, and a damage description (required for Fair or Good condition). Optional internal fields like a seller reference number, SKU, cost, and notes help you track inventory, and buyers do not see them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Import ESNs.<\/strong> Paste a list of IMEIs or ESNs, separated by commas or line breaks. Swappa tries to match each number to a product in its catalog. You can confirm the match, pick a different product, or leave it blank and fill it in later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Import Sheet.<\/strong> Upload an .xlsx or .csv file to create many items at once. A sample spreadsheet is available on the import page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Export from WholeCell.<\/strong> If you manage stock in WholeCell, you can send items straight into Incoming Inventory. See the integrations section below.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos-and-Batch-Editing\"><\/span>Photos and Batch Editing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos can go into a shared photo bank in bulk or onto individual items. The upload screen lists the current file types and size limits. Remember that your profile code, not a listing code, goes in verification photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To change many items at once, select them and choose <strong>Edit<\/strong>. You can update shared fields like product, model, carrier, color, storage, memory, condition, and cost in one pass. Fields you leave blank stay as they are. To clear a single field, edit that item on its own. You can delete items in bulk the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finalizing-Listings\"><\/span>Finalizing Listings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An item is ready to list once it has an IMEI or ESN, a product with its variant details, a price, and photos. Select the finished items, choose <strong>Ready to List<\/strong>, enter your ship-from ZIP code and location (plus an express shipping price if you offer it), and choose <strong>Create Listings<\/strong>. The new listings then go through Swappa&#8217;s staff review before they go live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Integrations-ShipStation-and-WholeCell\"><\/span>Integrations: ShipStation and WholeCell<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ShipStation<\/strong> is available to Power and Enterprise Sellers for managing orders and printing labels across carriers. Whatever tool prints the label, Swappa&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/faq\/answer\/safe-standard-shipping-policies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shipping policies<\/a> still apply, including tracking on every order and shipping within the required time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WholeCell<\/strong> is an inventory management system built for mobile devices. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/help.wholecell.io\/en\/articles\/4659957-syncing-with-swappa-for-power-sellers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WholeCell&#8217;s help center<\/a>, Power Sellers can select items in WholeCell and export them to Swappa&#8217;s Incoming Inventory with the manufacturer, model, variant, carrier, capacity, color, IMEI, SKU, and list price already filled in. When an item sells on Swappa, the order is created in WholeCell automatically for fulfillment. Enterprise Sellers get full inventory integrations with WholeCell.io, SellerCloud, and Linnworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fees-for-Power-Sellers\"><\/span>Fees for Power Sellers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Power Sellers pay the same fees as everyone else on Swappa: a <strong>3% seller fee<\/strong> on the Ask Price, plus payment processing of <strong>3.49% + $0.49 through PayPal<\/strong> or <strong>2.9% + $0.30 through Stripe<\/strong>. Buyers pay their own 3% fee, which is built into the listing price. Creating listings is free.
