No reason to buy new

The product was exactly as described. It was delivered in a timely manner. The price was great and the website made it so easy to search for a product, compare it with similar offerings, and finalize the transaction. Swappa does such a great job that we keep coming back again and again for gifts for our kids and ourselves. There is no reason to buy new when buying used can be so easy.

Swappa is always excellent

Swappa is always excellent. There aren't many web based services that make me feel comfortable sending a private seller over $500 but with Swappa I dont even think twice.

And the sellers on here tend to be top tier because of the strict structure that Swappa has in place.

I mean even the USPS seems to give Swappa packages a higher priority somehow.

Swappa Protects Scammers!!!

Swappa! I have been scammed! This "seller" has hacked my husband's email account which I used for paying via Paypal. He provided a shipping label to Paypal with a tracking number of a package that had already been delivered to our address earlier this week. We just spoke to Paypal and they are aware of this scam. This is the SECOND TIME within a week that we've been scammed on your website. My husband purchased a laptop from another seller on your site who created a shipping label and never sent the item. Instead of punishing the crook that scammed us, you restricted my husband's account from making further purchases, which is the reason why I had to buy it. "Swappa has fantastic support and we're quick to answer questions!" Are you serious? You are protecting the criminals and punishing the victims? Your business should be restricted, just like you restricted my husband's account. I have already filed a complaint against you with Paypal and reported this criminal to law enforcement.
