Swappa vs OfferUp

Tired of wading through scams and useless junk when shopping for your next iPhone? Swappa is the smarter way to buy and sell used tech online.

No Junk, No Jerks

Quit scrolling through pages of scams, used clothes, and furniture listings. Swappa doesn’t allow junk, and we don’t tolerate jerks.

We Verify Listings

You’ll never know if that iPhone on OfferUp is blocklisted until it’s too late. Swappa reviews listings before they go live, so you can get good tech at great prices.

Real 24/7/365 Support

Swappa’s support team is available 24/7/365, and we respond in 20 minutes or less. Really.

OfferUp Seller Fees Are Out of Control

OfferUp charges sellers 12.9% if your phone manages to sell. But since buyers have to wade through pages of scams and used furniture listings, it probably won’t. Swappa charges just 3% per party, and we make it easy to buy and sell used tech.
