What reviewers often mention

🎯

Service quality

Customers often mention quick dispatch and same-day or otherwise fast payments after selling. Many reviews also describe missing parcels, refused payouts, and slow or incomplete checks that left sellers without payment. Several accounts say refunds only came through after a long dispute.

💰

Value for money

Many reviewers say trade-in offers and resale prices stack up well against alternatives, and that the quoted amounts were paid. A recurring complaint is sudden, large cuts to agreed offers, blamed on alleged damage, which reviewers say wiped out the value of the deal. A minority report fair payments with no problems.

User experience

Users frequently praise the simple online process, straightforward postage steps, and fast order dispatch. A small number mention promo codes not working or courier delivery failures. People who completed sales or purchases smoothly also speak well of the site navigation and payment flow.

🔧

Product quality

Many buyers say items arrived in excellent condition—phones, books, and media—packed with care. Other reviews describe items received or returned with new scratches, cracks, or other damage, and warranty claims rejected after inspection. Several reviews say refurbished goods met expectations, alongside complaints about damaged returns.

📞

Communication

Several reviews point to timely updates and named staff who solved issues and paid quickly. Many complaints mention generic email replies, slow responses, and trouble getting refunds or clear explanations. Some accounts describe clear communication when things went well and poor communication once disputes started.

Overall experience

Reviews show a clear divide between smooth, fast transactions and cases involving major losses or disputes that never got resolved. Positive experiences focus on quick payment and accurate descriptions. Negative ones focus on lost parcels, steep revaluations, and disappointing dispute handling.
