Want to sell my iPhone 6 and buy an 6 Plus

The 6 plus is awesome, but it is laggy compared to the 6 I had. Not sure why. But its awesome aside from that.
I sell items occasionally on eBay (not electronics, just clothes) and it is a buyer rather than a seller's market over there. Ive never had a scammer but eBay makes you wait a certain number of days until they are sure the package has arrived at the buyers residence and more days to make sure there are no complaints until the money is released by PayPal (for new sellers it used to be something like 21 days, not sure if that's the policy anymore). So if a buyer turns out to be a scammer, they can say they got a box with nothing in it and end up with both your item and the refund.
I would look for a site that offers greater seller protection tbh.

I sold my 6 on swappa and bought a 6 plus. It took a while and people try to get bare bones for it, but I still got $620 for my 64gb model I owned since launch day.
Swappa is a much better solution (You will save a few bucks from the sale). They will also verify the Blacklist and Activation (I believe it is called like that) status of your iPhone, so it makes it more trustworthy. Also, since you kept it in a very good condition, you will be able to sell it in a very good price! Good luck! 
Switch to T-Mobile. I did yesterday. They paid what I owed on my 6 Plus (I was on Edge), it's almost $40 a month cheaper and I have a $190 credit on my bill and a brand new 6 Plus.
You won't get as much from a buyback program compared to selling it directly to the end user yourself. If you're concerned about fraud, there are a number of ways you can protect yourself as a seller. Let me know if you want more details about this. In regards to the value of your phones, there is a website called Movaluate that will tell you what they are worth based on their condition and average selling price.
