Easyt process and paid right on time
Received an offer for my old Samsung S23+ (with a cracked screen). Used their label to ship to SHC as requested and payment was made by Zelle shortly thereafter. Very easy straightforward process

It's a waste of time. They always offer a revised offer that is much lower than their initial offer and always cite a ridiculous explanation that is made up. In my case, they reduced their offer from $197 to $137 because to "scratches on the screen" - the screen has no scratches. They are just a dishonest company trying to rip of customers. The phone condition I selected was "Good", not Flawless. The battery was above 80%, the screen has no defects or scratches and everything worked perfectly. It met every criteria they listed, but their business relied on offering a high price and then adjusting it after the fact .

We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with your experience. Our revised offers are never arbitrary or "made up." Every device is physically inspected upon arrival and evaluated according to the condition guidelines that are published on our website before a trade-in is submitted. For a device to qualify as Flawless condition, it must: * Look new with no signs of use. * Have no scratches, scuffs, or any other cosmetic imperfections visible to the naked eye. * Appear as if it just came out of its original packaging. If our inspection finds visible scratches or other cosmetic wear, the device no longer meets the Flawless standard and is regraded accordingly. This is not unique to your device—every trade-in is graded using the same published criteria. If you disagree with the evaluation, we always offer the option to have your device returned at no charge rather than requiring you to accept the revised offer. We strive to make our grading process transparent and consistent for every customer.

They sent a payment to me through PayPal but PayPal returned the payment to them and now they are ignoring me and not sending me my money- I’ve reached out several times with my name , address and number of the transaction- I’m assuming at this point they just ripped me off - until I see a check then I was ripped off- not replying to emails with the correct information or a response on when I would be receiving a check or the phone back is ripping someone off. I only got this response because it was left on a review. Now they are threatening to not send me my money unless I remove the review- be warned they will rip you off there’s plenty of other companies to choose from on the sellcell websites - update again- they claim they did not say that they threatened not to pay me if I did not remove my review- I got screenshots and gladly will send them to anyone- email me at Dorothy Yonce @ gmail . com and I’ll send you the message they sent me threatening not to pay me till I take the review down - It will show you the kind of lying people they are .. there’s many companies on the sell-cell site don’t use this one -

Dorothy, We take accusations like this very seriously, which is why it's important to clarify the facts. Your payment was sent to the PayPal account you selected during checkout. PayPal rejected the payment because your account had been closed and returned the funds to us. This was outside of our control, and in your emails to us you acknowledged that the PayPal issue was not our fault. You state that we "ripped you off," but that is simply not true. We never kept both your phone and your money. As soon as we became aware that PayPal had returned the funds, we agreed to issue a paper check to the mailing address you provided. You also claim that we threatened not to pay you unless you removed your review. That did not happen. Your payment is being reissued regardless of your review. We only asked that, once the matter is resolved, you consider updating your review to reflect the complete facts. We understand that the delay in communication was frustrating, and we regret that your emails were not seen sooner. However, that does not change the fact that your original payment was sent promptly, was returned by PayPal due to your account status, and that we are now sending your payment by check. We remain committed to completing your payment and resolving this matter.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with your experience. Every device we receive is thoroughly inspected, and if we find a condition or functional issue that differs from the information provided during the quote process, we issue a revised offer based on our inspection. Customers are never required to accept a revised offer and may choose to have their device returned free of charge, which was the option selected in your case. We strive to make our evaluations as accurate and transparent as possible. If you have any additional questions or would like us to review your inspection, please contact us with your order number and we'll be happy to assist.
