Okay, I want to sell my phone on Phonetradr. What do I do?
Simply click “Sell Now”, select the make, model, capacity and colour of the phone you’re selling. Then, we will give you a suggested selling price but you’re welcome to change it to whichever amount you’d like. Then, click “sell it” and choose from two convenient selling options:
Instant Listing
This is an option for people that are currently using the phone they’re selling. We’ll list the phone for sale but you keep it with you until it’s sold. Only then do we collect it, inspect, verify and package it before it gets delivered to the buyer. The disadvantage here is that it takes slightly longer to sell as it’s not pre-verified and is listed with a longer delivery time frame to the buyer than a Standard Listing.
Standard Listing (recommended)
This is a great option if you’re not currently using the phone you’re selling. This way, we collect the phone from you and deliver it to Phonetradr HQ where we will complete the inspection and verification before listing your phone for sale. It gets stored in our CAT 5-certified safe with CCTV surveillance and of course your phone is also insured. It's safer with us than anywhere else!
The other benefit is your phone gets labeled as a ‘featured phone’ on our site, which means more people are viewing your listing. Also, it results in a quicker delivery time since its stored with us ready to be delivered to a buyer within 24-48 hours. And of course you get paid faster.
Swipe down from the top of the screen to pull down the Notification Shade > Tap the Settings button > Swipe up to scroll down on the settings screen > Tap Backup and reset > Tap Factory data reset > Tap reset device > Tap ERASE EVERYTHING.
All the information we need from you will be asked for during the few minutes you spend on creating your listing. We’ll need your full name, contact details, delivery address and the details of the device you’re selling such as the make, model, colour and if there’s any damage to it. We will also need your banking details so that you can get paid for the sale of your phone.
On your phone, open the Gmail app > In the top right, tap your profile picture > Tap Manage accounts on this device > Choose your account > At the bottom, tap Remove account.
To conduct a Google backup and restore on your Android phone, go to your Settings > Accounts > Backup and restore. From the Google account section, tap the ‘Back up my data’ switch to turn it on. If it is off, this means none of your existing data has been backed up until this point.
If you include your original wall charger and cable and they are in good working condition, then you will get a higher selling price, which means more money!
