    Overview of BBB Rating

    Overview

    Phobio, LLC, provides assistance to make the trade-in process as simple and clear as possible for customers to get the most value for their used gadgets and reduce e-waste. We're committed to the customer experience and making trade in a valuable option for every customer.

    Products & Services

    BBB has received the following information from Phobio, LLC outlining their trade in process:


    'When you create a trade online, you'll get a quote for the maximum value payable for that
    device model in the physical and functional condition you select. It is important to make sure the
    device and the condition you declare are accurate to ensure your quoted value is correct and
    will not need to be adjusted later. Trade-in quotes are valid for 21 days, and the payment
    methods offered are specific to each trade-in program.


    Phobio sends you a prepaid shipping label and packing materials designed and tested to ensure
    the safe shipment of your device to our inspection facility. You are provided detailed device
    preparation instructions and tracking information to guarantee safe and timely delivery of your
    trade to Phobio. We do not recommend using concierge services, drop boxes or other shipping
    alternatives.


    Upon receipt, every shipping kit is inspected for indications of transit damage and the package
    contents are verified. Devices are powered-up and connected to an analytics system to confirm
    data erasure, verify the device model and test internal functionality.


    Once verified as erased, functional and free of activation locks, our inspectors test each device's physical components and look for damage to the screen or housing.


    When inspection is complete, you are notified of the results and status of your payment. If your
    trade value offer is revised due to being received late or because something is found during
    inspection that doesn't match what you originally reported, we will notify you immediately via
    email so you can decide whether to accept the revised offer or request that your device be
    shipped back to you free of charge.


    For more information, please visit https://www.phobio.com/help-info and if you have questions or concerns, please call us at 855.750.4107 or email us at [email protected] so we can assist you.'

    Shady company was offered $240 for my under 1 year old OnePlus 10pro. Phone was in perfect condition. Always in a case. Phone bought directly from OnePlus. After I sent phone in I received a laughable re-quote. They stated there was damage on the display which there wasn't. The phone was still under the 1 year warranty. If there was anything wrong with the phone I could have sent it in to OnePlus for free for repair or free replacement. They only offered $80. It's Oneplus' loss since I have emailed them i will never buy a phone from them again...

    ****************, We're sorry you are unhappy with the final trade-in value for your phone. Unfortunately, your phone showed significant screen burn-in, so we could not offer the original amount offered by OnePlus. Whenever a customer does not want to accept the revised quote, we can ship their device back to them at no cost. In your case, since accepting the revised quote, your phone can no longer be returned, and you will receive your payment. We wish you the best *****!
