Order not being processed and unable to contact via website
I sent my iPod in and according to their website it was received 9/12. The website says that they will make payment within 72 hours of receiving the device but it's 9/22 and my status is still "delivered" and not complete. An effort to contact BuyMyPod via phone connected me to an out-of-service phone number. Tried submitting a question regarding the status of my order and I haven't received any emails.
Update; Matt did get back to me regarding this order and rectified the issue so I changed my rating.

Hi Karin, I apologize you were unable to reach us yesterday. Our service was down in the whole area. We are located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, rarey but occasionally service gets interrupted for a day. Please accept my apology and contact me directly by text message, 407-212-5639. Please feel free to email me if you would like also. Matthew-Owner

Everything ended up being ok; I'd do business with Matthew again!
It's been over 2 weeks since I sent in 2 iPhone 6's. Confirmation that they were delivered and nothing to show for it. I've tried emailing every day for about 4 days and nothing. I'm getting very upset and am looking into my legal options for either getting paid or getting my devices returned. Would not recommend at this point. There is no excuse for not reaching out to provide any type of update.
UPDATE: I was able to finally get in touch with Matthew. Very pleasant! As others had mentioned, he was in the hospital and had just gotten out. He was very behind on all of his orders but took the time to sort mine out of the pile. I no longer needed to worry about the status of my shipped devices as Matthew sent compensation via PayPal. Given the unfortunate events in Matthew's life and his ability to bounce back and still provide this service, I've changed my review to 4 stars. Had it not been for the communication gap, I'd have given him a 5. One suggestion would be to offer additional communication after the devices arrive. "We're working on your order", "We're having a bit of a problem with your order but will have it worked out in no time" things like that. It was very stressful sending out what cost me over $2K (when new) and putting my trust in someone else. Had there been some other communication measures put in place, it would have been much less stressful. Overall...THANK YOU Matthew!!! Hope you feel better!!!

Even with some transaction issues, this company made sure to reach out and communicate with me to fix the situation.
My experience was a little different than most individuals. I had a bulk order and some of the phones had some reset issues. Matthew reached out directly to me and sent the phones back so that I could fix the issue and return. Since not all of the phones were returned, I sent an email requesting payment for the ones the company still had. Matthew again reached out, even while in the hospital, to make sure the funds were sent right away (due to this being a long delay). I believe that Matthew’s business ethics outweigh any issues that we ran into in this transaction, and it’s hard to find a company like that these days!

No payment
The company's website says they pay within 24 hours of receiving your device. It has now been 4 weeks since they received my device, I haven't received any communication at all in the last 2 weeks (not even a response to my emails) and I haven't received payment.
Update: only after posting this review did I get a response and payment. I advised the owner to communicate with his customers (we shouldn’t have to send emails for 2 weeks because we’re not receiving responses) and stop guaranteeing payment within 24 hours if they can’t do that. With 4 employees, I would expect at least one person to update me on the situation.

Owner resolved my problem from his hospital bed!
Update: After posting the negative review below, I was contacted by the owner of the company from his hospital bed! He explained what happened to cause the check to bounce and paid me cash via Apple Pay. He made me whole for both the sale of the iPod and the bank fee for the bounced check. I now recommend BuyMyPod wholeheartedly with no reservation.
I sent in an iPod and a couple weeks later received a check for $29 which was what I was expecting. However, when I deposited the check in my bank it bounced for "Non Sufficient Funds." So not only am I out the $29 but the bank charges $12 for bounced checks. So, it cost me $12 to "sell" them my iPod.

Highly recommended!!
Initially I was skeptical about using this company to sell my 2 iphones as I have never heard of them before but they really came through. They are a small family owned business that is very attentive when it comes to emails and responses. The only thing I would recommend would be better phone support but the promptness of the emails makes up for that. I will do business with them in the future and recommend you sell your electronics to them since they seem to pay a lot more than these other sites I see out there.

Company advertises that you'll receive…
Company advertises that you'll receive payment 24hours after they receive your device. 72 hours later I contacted the company and they said my device was not in the condition I stated it was in though I felt it was within the description they provided. The came back with an offer $32 dollars lower than the initial offer. I felt this was a really low ball offer and countered with 1 step down from the initial offer which was $21 lower than the initial. 2 business days later I inquired again and they sent me the payment.

Mr. Jarrett I am sorry you feel this way. Here is the history of the order; The iPhone 6 was submitted as a "good condition" with offer of $160 iPhone which has specific criteria listed on the website. Once received we replied within 72 hours to the order with some stated issues, here is the email;
Hi Amos,
This is Stacy from BuyMyPod. We received the iPhone, thank you. However the item was listed as "good condition" condition in the original order. The item received however does have some defects such as minor light screen scratches, many small paint chips on the back as well as a small LCD white spot on the top of the screen display. That would allow us to rate the item under a different condition. We currently offer $128 for models like this one.
Please message me whenever you have a moment. Whether you would like to proceed with the order, or arrange for the item to be returned, I will be processing everything today. Thanks!
Many Blessings,
Stacy Tuell

We then received a reply from the customer, here it is;
According to your website "Good Condition" is described as "Cosmetically the device may have some scratches that are visible on the screen or casing, and/or minor nicks". I'm not sure what you are describing as a small LCD white spot as the screen was near perfect when shipped with screen cover and case.
Your website even a device in "Acceptable Condition" described as "heavy scratching/nicks", which I would not consider mine to have, values at $139. Would you be willing to offer at least that?
We then replied;
I will find out about the Acceptable rate. The little white spot in the LCD is a tiny little dot that is basically comprised of dead pixels. It is small, it can be something that generally occurs from having a screen glass replaced or other causes.
I will update you asap.
Thanks,
Stacy
Within 2 days from that point we authorized the payment of $139 which was higher than our original adjusted offer to accommodate for condition.
We did this to try to make the customer happy. I suppose no good deed goes unpunished.
Please have a nice day and thanks for reading.
