Payments

On Swappa we use PayPal for payments because they provide extensive buyer and seller protections.

PayPal helps protect buyers if what you receive is not as advertised or if you buy a device that is later blacklisted. Hopefully it's never necessary, but you can use their dispute resolution process to get your money back from bad seller.

As a seller it's a good idea to get your PayPal account verified before creating a listing.

PayPal does charge some fees on the payments they process, but it's worth it for the protections.
