Swappa has always been focused on providing a safe, secure, and easy-to-use marketplace. That aspect hasn’t changed, however, Swappa has grown considerably in other ways – notably, the size of the overall marketplace. And more specifically, in terms of new product categories which now include drones and drone accessories.
Buy and Sell Drones on Swappa
Starting today, you can sell and buy drones in the Swappa marketplace. You’ll find drones from Autel Robotics, Parrot, PowerVision, and of course, DJI. Along with drones, you’ll also find listings for accessories such as drone controllers and drone batteries.
Drone and drone accessory listings are similar to all other listings on Swappa, which is to say there are certain requirements that sellers must follow. A key requirement is that all items must be fully functional. Key requirements as they pertain to drone listings are as follows:
Required (must be included with all drone listings):
- Drone: Must be fully functional
- Props: Minimum 1 undamaged set
- Battery: Minimum 1 functional battery, and must include a charger if one is needed to charge the battery (some batteries are able to charge while in the drone via a cable)
- Controller: Must be fully functional, the controller must hold a charge, no cracks in the screen (if applicable), and sticks must be included (if applicable)
Drones must also be deregistered from the FAA DroneZone website and manufacturer account (if applicable).
Listings for drone accessories follow similar requirements as drone listings. For example, if you’re listing a single drone battery for sale, that battery must function normally. And if you’re listing a single controller, that controller must hold a charge, be fully functional, not have any cracks in the screen (if applicable), and all parts, such as sticks must be included.
Sellers are able to list drones as New or Used. New, in terms of drones on Swappa, is defined as unused and unflown (with zero flight hours).
