Safe Buying, Selling, and Device Trade-Ins Online
Online marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp make it easy to buy and sell electronics. They can also come with risks. Scams, locked devices, and phones reported as lost or stolen are unfortunately common. Taking a few extra steps before completing a transaction can help you avoid these problems.
One of the most important things to check when buying a used phone, tablet, or smartwatch is the device status. A proper device check can confirm that the device is not account locked, has not been reported lost or stolen, and will work with your carrier.
If you would rather avoid the uncertainty that can come with peer-to-peer marketplaces, SmartphonesPLUS offers a safer option. You can trade in your device or shop for certified electronics directly through our website. Everything can be completed online, making the process simple and straightforward.
