What steps does Swappa take to review and approve a listing?

When a listing is reviewed for approval here on Swappa, the moderation team runs through a number of crucial checks to help ensure a smooth transaction when the listing is purchased. This includes a number steps involving:

• Verification photos
• ESN/serial number checks
• Criteria compliance
• Seller history

Although Swappa reviews nearly every listing in the marketplace, Swappa does know that a listing's details can change after it's approved, so please be sure to take advantage of the flagging feature if you think a listing may need to be manually reviewed again by team members.

Swappa also advises potential buyers to closely review any listings they're interested in to ensure that it meets their needs. Unfortunately, even with the review process, Swappa can never truly guarantee that a seller will fulfill a sale. However, these review steps help prevent many failed sales by keeping poor sellers and garbage products out of the marketplace.
