How quickly will I get my payment?

Most payments are made via EFT within 24 hours of inspection.
Answer

After our inspection confirms the condition, we process EFT payments. Typical turnaround is within 24 hours; for some items same-day payment is possible. Processing times can vary depending on bank cutoffs and verification. Tip: ensure your bank details are correct on the form to avoid delays.

Do you accept stolen items?

No. We verify ownership of all items and may request proof of purchase.
Answer

We do not accept stolen goods. Our team may request a receipt or proof of purchase for higher-value items and will refuse to process items that appear to be stolen.

Can I sell broken or damaged items?

Yes — condition affects the offer amount.
Answer

Yes. We accept items in all conditions. When a device is broken, the offer will be adjusted to reflect repair or parts value. Please be honest about the condition to avoid delays at inspection.

How does pickup work?

Free pickup in major metros, scheduled at your convenience.
Answer

Once the offer is confirmed, you can schedule a pickup slot. Our couriers operate in major metros; rural areas may have partner drop-off options. You’ll receive an email/SMS confirming the pickup time.

What if the item differs from the photos I uploaded?

Inspection may change the final offer.
Answer

If the condition or model differs from what you submitted, we’ll explain any adjustments and provide a revised offer. You can accept or decline the revised offer prior to payout.

What payment methods are available?

Images are used to verify condition and ownership during processing. We only retain them as long as necessary; refer to our privacy policy for retention policies.

Are there any fees?

Our estimated offer already accounts for our fee and margin. We are transparent about the final amount — any adjustments will be explained at inspection.

How should I prepare my item for pickup?

Tips to speed up inspection and payout.
Answer

Clean the device, include any chargers or accessories, remove personal locks (e.g. Find My iPhone), and have proof of purchase if available. This helps a quick inspection and avoids delays.

Can I sell multiple items in one submission?

Answer

After your pickup is scheduled we send an email/SMS with the courier name, tracking link (if available) and a contact number. Contact support if tracking isn't updating or the courier is delayed.

Do you charge VAT or withhold tax?

VAT/tax depends on whether you're selling as a business.

What ID do I need for collection?

EFT is standard; cash may be available in limited scenarios.
Answer

EFT is our default payout method for security and traceability. In certain in-person or store scenarios cash payouts may be offered — check with support for local options.

How secure is my personal data?

We follow standard security and privacy practices.
Answer

We transmit data over encrypted channels and limit retention to what's necessary for processing. Images and personal data are used only for verification and payout. See our privacy policy for full details on retention and rights.

Is there any warranty or returns after sale?

Sales are generally final; warranty depends on the buyer.

Once an item is sold to a buyer or partner the sale is usually final. Any warranty or return policy is determined by the buyer. Contact support immediately if you believe an error was made during processing.

Do you accept accessories on their own (chargers, cases)?
