Swappa is your best choice. Stay away from EBay, it's a fraud zone their.
What's to stop some buyer on Swappa claiming the box was empty when it arrives? (common ebay scam).
I don't understand how Swappa prevents all of the usual bait and switch scams that affect Ebay.
Let's say you're Swappa. Who is lying:
Buyer could have received iPad Wi-Fi, taken picture of a box of rocks, and is trying to scam seller.
- Buyer complains that seller sent a box of rocks instead of iPad Wi-Fi. Shows a picture of a box of rocks he received.
- Seller says he sent an iPad Wi-Fi. Shows photos of iPad Wi-Fi and valid shipping receipt.
Seller could have kept the iPad Wi-Fi and sent a box of rocks, generating a shipping receipt, and is trying to scam buyer.
So based on Swappa's policies, who "wins"?
Swappa is no different from eBay, but is relatively under the radar and seems to attract more legitimate folks in general. But scams can and do happen. In the scenario above or any scenario involving a dispute, Swappa would recommend a) that the buyer and seller resolve it themselves and/or b) involve PayPal. PayPal typically sides with the buyer:

All Swappa can do is blacklist or publish a negative rating against the guilty party on their site, nothing more
what about touch disease?Sounds like you want a place that buys it and you send it to them? Like BuyBackWorld You can use this code to get 10% more APPLEINSIDER10
Unfortunately, Swappa says no cracked screens. The cracked screen will be a problem with trade ins as well. I have sold an iPhone with a cracked screen on eBay and got a pretty decent price for it.

This is pretty genius. If only eBay and others would implement this as a policyLock a fake iCloud account onto phone before sending it out, provide password when they ask you through messages what it is. Confirming they received the device.
I also second Swappa. Sold an iPad Mini 4 on there with accessories. Fees were cheaper than 10% of the sale price. Also the site facilitates easy communication between buyers and sellers.
For those asking about security, Swappa requires that you register the IMEI/ESN when you list. This is to ensure that the phone is not flagged lost or stolen. Also, they request that you place pictures of the device your selling with a handwritten sign that has the listing number on it, so that you see what you are actually paying for.
what about touch disease?
My carrier didn't enter the order correctly, so I missed out on a trade-in deal and need to sell my 6s plus. The on button works but isn't popping back out when I let go of it, so I don't know that it's a good fit for Swappa. Gazelle's offer is about half of the going price on Swappa. Still debating what to do.![]()
Tmobile is my carrier, but either way you make a great point. I should try again to have the carrier honor the promo. That's the simplest way. Thanks!If you ordered it before 9/25/16 on a Next Installment plan, you should be able to trade it in still.
It's not what you want to hear, but Craigslist. As long as Swappa keeps using Paypal, they are no different than eBay. While their staff members will do their best to mediate any conflicts between seller and buyer, they have zero influence over Paypal if a buyer decides to screw you.
You can sell that on swappa boneyard, no listing fees, just paypal fees.Would I be able to sell the phone with this wrong with it?
I read decent reviews about this site:One of those places that buys it and you ship it to them.
