I bought an X with 256Gb a few years ago, and paid a price for buying a discount phone. The Face ID didn't work, the battery wasn't right, and the speakers crackled a bit. They wouldn't take the phone back, and I was stuck with it for 3 years. Don't buy phones used, ever. Unless you know the person. Just buy new, and you'll never have to worry
Na, I could actually say that it is crazy buying refurbished phones. I got iphone 11 pro max from back market at an excellent condition for £428. It came with a scratch on the back camera, though the battery health came with 97%. But the shocker? Well, the battery health dropped to 87% in about two-three weeks. The phone has crazy glitches and could even start operating itself, truly scary to watch my phone operate itself lol. Just recently, i've just changed the battery, from Apple at £85. It is quite good now though the glitches remain.
You know a sales tax doesn't come from the merchant. It comes from the government. Back Market has no choice but to charge a new sales tax levied by the state.
Yep I know about sales tax. All I was saying is it’s not included in the sticker price of the phone anymore. It’s separate now because they were losing profit 👍🏿👍🏿
I bought an iphone 12 pro for $518 after tax from back market on the 6th of march in good condition and got it on the 8th of march perfect condition not even a scratch with 87% battery health
I got a 12mini unlocked in purple from back market in excellent condition it was 350 but came out to 389.87 I was like damn that’s like 40$+ after tax and all;-; still happy with my purchase it came in 3 days to Chicago and the phone fr is in brand new condition no scratches nothing and has 100% battery heath
It depends what device your buying. Some phone the price will be lower just flat out in back market compared to gazelle but same in the other way around. Dont take this as a bad thing this is good bec now u have options
everyone is saying that gazelle is so much better yet, when i got to there website, the server cannot be found. unfortunately for me i don’t think k i’ll be able to buy from there. i’ll keep checking to see if i can use the website without being redirected to a different page.
Ordered an XR from Gazelle per your reviews and suggestions and I love it • chose the fair condition and it came with few small barely noticeable scratches and 94% battery! As opposed to the XS I ordered from back market in good condition, looked like a cat scratched it up and the speakers were terrible and battery health somewhere between 85-87% . Gazelle is much better Value, thanks for suggesting them 👍🏽
I recently bought from back market and I was so confused on why a 340 phone jumped to 400. The tax is getting insane on the app and I was planning to get a macbook from them, not anymore that is.
You know a sales tax doesn't come from the merchant. It comes from the government. Back Market has no choice but to charge a new sales tax levied by the state.
Gazelle is the best bought a Xr there last year in fair condition and it came in fantastic condition only thing I hate is shipping so I decided to try backmarket out bought a iPhone 12 in Good condition but came in horrible condition body haves scratches and the frame have dents and scuffs and I was only offered $40 as partial refund smh I definitely don’t recommend backmarket
I wouldn’t recommend it because something is not adding up. I bought four phones for a different family members and every time their phones would fall facing front camera. The back would be completely shattered like it would be an odd reason why the back camera not the front camera when you buy straight from Apple, my phone dropped and nothing was cracked but buying a refurbished device will definitely crack so invest your money your choice
for me i don't see a price difference between gazelle and back market. for an iphone 12 pro the total cost is only $4 more due to quality assurance cost.
The 12 month warranty is not worth much. They will pretty much always say you damaged the phone so the warranty won’t apply. Going through this right now on a phone that’s motherboard packed up after 2 months
Does backmarket be cancelling orders a lot because I brought a laptop and it got canceled but I just bought a gaming laptop and I hope it doesn’t get canceled this time
Is it safe to buy from Back market like paying more than 500 dollars ? Even through some comments were like that the devices start not to work after a while?
Back Market is very safe but I usually don’t go above 400 bucks! I’ve been able return things even 4 months later after explaining my issues. But again that was my experience, some people may say otherwise
I order a 12 pro max and I didn’t get it, FedEx said that the package was messing, I should reach out to them and they told me they don’t have direct contact with shipping company and I should reach out back to them when I get the package…..but how will I get the package when FedEx said it’s empty……can someone tell me how I can get my money back
i was hoping someone was going to comment a better place to get refurbished phone , also Question ? Lisan what do you do with all the phones you purchase?
I always use Swappa. They show multiple pics of the exact device you purchase. Find a high rated seller and feel confident in your purchase. I’m here because I decided to give Backmarket a try and my “excellent” phone arrived in a tiny box with no protection and the phone looked like it was kicked around in dirt for a month 😂
thieves - I ordered a huawei p 50 pro - they never put it in the packaging (certified by dhl France and Greece) the mistake but they want my details - identity - RIB BANK ACCOUNT - copy of complaint to the police Only French banks have a RIB BANK ACCOUNT - I'm from Greece, so I don't have one!!! police copy - I have to pay extra money about 150+ for translation into French and for the drafting of the complaint by a lawyer - all this out of my own pocket and all this NOT TO GIVE MY MONEY BACK BUT TO START AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED For those who don't believe, I send them the evidence - if it was a serious company, they would sue me for defamation, but how dare they!!! they are frauds

They stole my iphone 12 mini and never gave me my money. I have contacted BBB and did a bank dispute. Now I'm getting an attorney
What was the end result?
Another person gatekeeping info why am I not surprised 😂
How about something from this company refurbished Swappa
I just bought from Back Market for the first time a week ago, iPhone 14 came like new.
How is it doing?
@@whoisthat5144 Excellent. No complaints.
how do the black market phones hold up long term? i’m worried about longevity, i need a phone to last me like three years
I got a phone from then for 6 months and I haven’t really seen any problems right now
i meant back market lol
@@fadd_y3469 awesome thank you
@@brielynne39 I also recommend looking at the reviews and ratings from the seller as well

Thing for me with Back Market is the 1 year warranty. I see Gazelle is only 30 days?

Just happened to me, kind of a bummer. Are you happy with whad you ended up getting?
@@justinesprice9782 yes i hadd this laptop for a while and it works still as good as possible
I was thinking of buying a iPhone 12 it was for 400 then it added 33 dollars as fee like dam
I bought a MacBook Pro 2017 with touchbar for 380 and the sales tax was 30 dang dollars and it is really expensive.
They’ve always done that with the state I live in.
Thanks on your thoughts and advice!
Hey Lisan would you recommend paying the coverage fee while purchasing a phone?
Exactly!! They dtm now.
Is it safe to buy from Back market like paying more than 500 dollars ? Even through some comments were like that the devices start not to work after a while?
Back Market is very safe but I usually don’t go above 400 bucks! I’ve been able return things even 4 months later after explaining my issues. But again that was my experience, some people may say otherwise
Have you ever tried Swappa ?
I bought a ps4 in excellent condition, but it came very damaged, different power cable
Same, my iPhone 11 was $270 but went up to $295
Ya you should not have to pay so much for something used!
Okay, I'm moving to Gizelle.
Would you say places like plug is better
I order a 12 pro max and I didn’t get it, FedEx said that the package was messing, I should reach out to them and they told me they don’t have direct contact with shipping company and I should reach out back to them when I get the package…..but how will I get the package when FedEx said it’s empty……can someone tell me how I can get my money back
did u get it or no
I bought a Samsung galaxy note 10 plus 5g as "good" condition and they gave me what looks like a excellent condition instead
how is it selling on back market ?
ordered from this one seller and its been 5 days it says its shipped still hasn’t came
What seller
Please do they do shipping to Africa
i was hoping someone was going to comment a better place to get refurbished phone , also Question ? Lisan what do you do with all the phones you purchase?
I usually flip them for more profit
I always use Swappa. They show multiple pics of the exact device you purchase. Find a high rated seller and feel confident in your purchase.

Bro how do I add my shipping address on Back Market ? Because I see the country by default is United States
but gazelle doesnt support europe country like italy😢
Is it safe to receive a refund if I pay using Paypal if the phone has a problem?
but gazelle doesnt support europe country like italy
My back market phone does not have a real ones which is bs I should come with all the normnal features like a brand new phone
thieves - I ordered a huawei p 50 pro - they never put it in the packaging (certified by dhl France and Greece) the mistake but they want my details - identity - RIB BANK ACCOUNT - copy of complaint to the police
Only French banks have a RIB BANK ACCOUNT - I'm from Greece, so I don't have one!!!
police copy - I have to pay extra money about 150+ for translation into French and for the drafting of the complaint by a lawyer - all this out of my own pocket
and all this NOT TO GIVE MY MONEY BACK BUT TO START AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED
For those who don't believe, I send them the evidence - if it was a serious company, they would sue me for defamation, but how dare they!!!
they are frauds
Gazelle or trademore ?
Gazelle Trademore
Do you have any doscount codes for Back Market
Do you have any recommendations for who the best sellers are on Back Market?
Loop mobile is the best in back market
I’ve just bought a iPhone 12 min it was suppose to be 284 but instead it became 310 at checkout
