Our top picks for the best places to sell used electronics are below. Remember that some offer cash, gift cards, and store credit as payout options. Determine which option is most suitable for you.
1
SellCell
It simplifies the process of finding a buyer for your used electronics. Enter the item you wish to sell, and a list of potential purchasers will generate for you.
It not only allows you to sell your phones but also accepts the following:
- Gaming devices
- Tablets
- Smart Home
- GoPro
- Wearables
Locate the item you wish to sell, and peruse the list of potential purchasers.
When you're ready to get paid for your goods, click the “get paid” button, and they will transfer you to the appropriate buyer.
How fast will I get mine and expect payment?
Payouts can be received via PayPal, cheque, or Amazon e-gift card.

eBay
Even broken devices can attract buyers on eBay, either as spare parts or by being refurbished and resold.
Paying close attention to reviews has helped me as a buyer and seller on eBay. The more positive feedback there is, the less likely you'll have a negative experience selling your goods.
Consider your listing, selling, and shipping expenses when deciding on final pricing.
3
Facebook Marketplace
Putting your wares up for sale on Facebook Marketplace is a newer trend. The site's creators set out to provide a venue where transactions can occur safer than those that might appear on a site like Craigslist. To find people in your area interested in purchasing your items, check out neighborhood and community pages.
The local market uses abbreviations like PPU to describe its products (Porch Pick Up). You can arrange for the item to be picked up and payment to be sent electronically by just leaving it on your front door (Zelle, Venmo, PayPal)
A bonus is that there are no charges for listing your item here.

Sellshark
They only buy a select few brands. It turned out, for instance, that they wouldn't accept my Motorola phone.
We accept the following goods:
- iPhones \iPads
- Watches
- Macbooks
- iMac
- Androids or Home Pods
- Xbox
It's best to double-check the site to determine if they buy the name-brand electronic gadget you're trying to unload.
Once you have accepted their offer and shipped your item to Sell Shark, they'll get to work on getting you your money. Unlike some other marketplaces, Sellshark would even take damaged goods.
5
Amazon
If you search for your product on Amazon and find similar listings, selling it through the site could be a fantastic option. My research revealed that a used Moto G Phone could be sold for $75 to $125.
When listing an item for sale on Amazon or another website, assume the item's condition. With Amazon, you'll have to pay a listing charge and a final selling price.

Green Buyback
According to the company's website, Green Buyback pays the most for secondhand gadgets. Like some other businesses featured, Green Buyback will provide you with a quote before waiting for your item to arrive so they may inspect it before paying you.
They provide a free shipping label but charge for the box to be shipped in. However, they do provide guidelines for safe packaging.
You should expect payment to be made by the next business day after they receive your electronic goods. You can get paid promptly through PayPal, but a check may take a few days to arrive if you request it.
7
Buy Back World
As with Gazelle, Buy Back World is influential. You type in the specifics of your electrical device and get an instantaneous price. If you accept, a shipping box will be promptly delivered to your door.
Upon receipt, the company will evaluate the merchandise and pay the agreed-upon amount if it is in satisfactory condition. Otherwise, they will issue a counteroffer. The offer is valid thirty days from the day it was extended to you. After that, you must resubmit your request with the adjusted terms.

ItsWorthMore
You'll get an instant price estimate when you submit an item to ItsWorthMore. If you need to send an item to them for evaluation, they will provide you with a prepaid postage label, not a box.
There is a fourteen-day window for delivery. You have three days to react to a counteroffer if the item's condition is worse than described.
When a transaction is finalized, they will send payment through either PayPal or a check.
9
Craigslist
What you need to know about using Craigslist to sell electronics and other stuff is probably already common knowledge. Since you can never tell what kind of electronics will sell, you can put up just about anything you want.
There are no listing or selling fees, so even damaged goods have a chance of finding a buyer.
When making a sale through Craigslist or a similar website, taking sensible precautions, such as meeting in a public place and informing someone of your whereabouts is essential.

Decluttr is a simple platform that disposes unwanted media such as CDs, DVDs, video games, tablets, and mobile phones. The app's built-in barcode scanner makes inventory management quick and painless.

Swappa is a marketplace where users can buy and sell secondhand gadgets, including smartphones, laptops, and video game consoles. You can't sell a broken item on this site; only products in good functioning order are accepted.
Swappa does not charge you to post an item. However, they do have a selling fee if your item sells. It claims on its website that its selling fees are much lower than those of eBay and other comparable sites.

Gazelle
While Gazelle does buy devices, they are picky about the brands they will purchase. Apple, Samsung, and Sony items comprise the bulk of their inventory.
In most circumstances, getting an offer price from Gazelle takes less than a minute. Once you accept the offer, you may submit your information, and a free shipping box will be sent.
They do a thorough inspection of the merchandise after receiving it. The total purchase price will be refunded if the item is returned in the same condition as described. They'll send you a lesser one if you don't accept their offer.
Questions to Consider
Best Places to Sell Used Electronics
Can I Resell My Old Devices?
Yes, vintage and outdated equipment is a hot commodity today. If your equipment is in decent shape, you may find buyers. Sites like eBay are great for seeing if similar equipment is for sale.
How Much Can I sell My Used Equipment For?
There’s a rule of thumb of how much we should sell items for. Used items typically sell for 25% of the retail cost. Well-worn will be 10%. So if an item sells for $100, a used item would be $25.
However, make sure to check online at selling sites to compare. Name brand and newer used items will sell for more.
