I’ve used Swappa before and it worked out fine. I sought a private seller instead of the cellphone shops that sell there.

If you buy from a reputable seller with a good free return policy, at worst you’ll have to send the device back. If you have access to a credit card or PayPal, it’s a good idea to use them, in case the seller becomes unresponsive.

Pro Tip for PayPal: in the (hopefully unlikely) event that PayPal sides with the seller, contact the BBB and complain.
I had an issue with a seller on eBay claiming they shipped me an iPad, but it was not to my address. It was considered delivered so both eBay and PayPal decided they wanted to wash their hands of my complaint and not honor their guarantees. This was in spite of the postmaster sending them a letter acknowledging that the package was not delivered to me. Once I filed a complaint with the BBB, PayPal was quick to resolve my issue with a refund.

BBB is not a sanctioning body; they are just Yelp for boomers. Entirely voluntary participation. Gotta make that clear.

Yes, it is voluntary. But, in the case of PayPal, they care about their BBB rating. And, that’s a Good Thing™.
