    Overview

    Statement from Swappa regarding their nature of business: 

    Swappa (https://swappa.com) is a marketplace that allows users to act as sellers and post listings to sell mobile devices (e.g. iPhones, iPads). Other users can act as buyers and purchase a listing, paying the seller directly. Swappa does not sell phones and is not a middle-man to the transaction. Swappa is just a facilitator for sales, and receives a small amount for each successful transaction for their services of hosting the site, advertising the listings, etc. While Swappa does review listings and undertake extensive anti-fraud measures as part of their service, the seller is paid directly from the buyer and is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and fulfillment of their listing and sale. All users the site are informed this before buying or selling, per clear documentation and their terms of use.

    Answered
    On Nov 20, 2023 I purchased a phone listed in "Good" condition on Swappa. The phone arrived on Nov 25. Upon inspection, I realized the seller had grossly misrepresented the condition of the phone. The screen was heavily damaged. Per Swappa requirements, for a phone to be listed as "Good", it must meet a standard of "Excellent condition, minor wear and tear". I contacted the seller and submitted pictures through Swappa. On Nov 26, the seller wrote "I completely understand if you want to return the phone..." I returned the phone to the seller on Nov 27, after which the seller refused to refund payment. USPS tracking info and the seller's own admission (on Swappa) show the seller is now in possession of the returned phone. Both the seller and Swappa still refuse to refund the purchase amount.

    I have had more than 5 transactions with Swappa and find them to be a company that provides reliable transactions between buyer and seller and has competent staff to help when needed. From my experience, professionals in their field.
