“AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Reduced the offer of my phone by half and claimed screen was ‘considerably marked’ which is a lie as it was in perfect condition. Even if it was damaged it would not cost as much as they reduced it by to replace a screen. And then have to pay £11 to have the phone returned to me. From the reviews this is what they do to most people. Robbing from them. Will be contacting Trading standards”
“DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
They claim that they pay the "Highest Price Guaranteed" when infact that is simply a lie.
They offer a smaller price than others due to where they "recycle the phones". What's more they will send you email after email adding £5 for downloading anti-virus, £5 if you don't agree to sell immediately.
They take advantage of people and attempt to squeeze as much out of you as they can when other companies actually treat you fairly.
(Monzo is very good).
Finally when you ask for your device back they charge you £10 for the postage and again try to make you sell it to them by offering you a £10 gift card instead.
AVOID THEM! You get FAR MORE for your phone from their competitors.”
“Avoid at all costs! I should have read more reviews before trusting this RIP OFF company!! Sent my phone iphone off in good faith expecting to get reasonably close to what they had offered online. After rubbish video they cut the price by £150!! Then to add insult to injury I had to pay nearly £11 to have it returned! Never again, they’re a total scam. Just sold my phone to CeX for double their offer. Avoid at all costs!”
“Wish I had read more reviews. Sent my iPhone in after a pretty decent price was given. I put my phone as Good. No marks etc. and sent in original box. On receipt of the phone they reduced the price by 110 pounds. Apparently due to a faulty screen. They couldn’t tell me why the screen was faulty nor did it match the description of faulty in their terms and conditions. I was also told there was no one I could complain to outside as the industry is not regulated. Basically they give a good price and then seriously de grade the phone and reduce the price. I have had to pay nearly 11 pounds to get it back. They also stealth you into a McAfee subscription through their website. All around cowboys. Do not use”
“This company is a total scam. Total fraudsters. Sent perfectly good iphone, they use a fake video to show scratches that don't exist. Reduced offer by over half and then charge you to return phone. I wish I had read the reviews before getting involved with this company!!”
“Avoid at all costs and sell your phone elsewhere with a reputable company or privately - don't waste your time with this awful outfit.
They deploy underhand tactics to make your phone look more worn and damaged. My phone was pristine and had always been in a case - I also cleaned the device thoroughly and packaged it securely. The video they sent the device had been mistreated and had grubby hands all over it to make it artificially worn/damaged.
Also, their definition of good differs from other providers and is essentially brand new.
They also sign you up to services to entice you in and they don't make it clear that you are signing up to a direct debit.
I will be reporting them to trading standards.
Please, everyone reading this - go elsewhere!”
“I was quoted £563 for my iPhone 14 Pro.
The phone was in good condition when I sent it, as the phone was only 4 months old as I upgraded to the new iPhone 15 Pro Max.
I received an email saying urgent response needed and my iPhone was knocked down to £210 and they claimed it was because the screen had heavy wear on it. They sent me a video of the screen which wasn’t like that when I sent it as I took photos beforehand!
The screen was in immaculate condition when I sent it off!!
It seems like they quote a high amount then knock it down considerably when they receive the phone claiming “damage” which wasn’t on there when you send it. BE CAREFUL. I would recommend staying away from this company, as it is clearly a scam!”
“Inital price of £460 seemed a goof offfer. Then once they recieved the phone they tried to knock £80 off for 'noticable wear' not a mark on the phone as it was looked after and chekced before i sent it. Seems a bit of a scam to make more money. Many reviews say the same. They will send it back to me and i will sell it privately. What a waste of time. Dissappointing to say the least.”
“Do not use these thieving con people, they offered a reasonable price for my iPhone 12 which was in excellent condition £260 12 months old . I sent it off in original box and working condition when they received it I had a email saying it was scratched on the Bessel and marks on the front screen they were obviously lying because the phone was in perfect condition they offered half of what they originally offered. I then had to pay £10.75 for them to send the phone back to me which took 6 days . I sold the phone on market place the same day it came back for £300 please look around before you use these rogues”
“Sent my very good condition iPhone 13 Pro in after being offered £461 for it, get offer back for £315 stating poor condition which isn’t at all true, so wish I had looked ‘we buy any phone’ reviews up first, now been charged £10 postage for my phone to be returned, so glad I took some close up pictures minutes before I posted it after reading that apparently this company damages your phone before returning it!! AVOID THIS COMPANY ITS A SCAM.”
“Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Utterly disgusting lying company who…
Utterly disgusting lying company who then charge you to return your phone! Don’t chose good condition unless your send them a new phone because they will charge you postage to return if it shows any sign of having ever been used. They also know over hundred pounds off their offer.”
“Don't ever approach this company and expect fair treatment. I was told after my phone was allegedly assessed that it was only in fair condition and they offered me £80 less than the original price. It was an iPhone 12pro which they said had to be in mint condition to get the price they offered. I refused and they sent the phone back. Amazingly I then sent it to another conpany who gave me the price offered and it was assessed as in excellent condition. It seem like someone likes telling fibs to cheat customers out of their money. Shame on this company and please do not use them.”
“Offered £200 less when they received my phone for screen damage that I couldn't see. Tricks along the way, saying if we don't hear from you in 7 days we will assume you accept the offer and transfer the money (awful). I requested the phone back and 11 days later (after paying the return fee) I'm still waiting for the phone to be returned and no one is replying to my emails from customer service. I wrote a review on Trust Pilot which was removed as Webuyanyphone claimed I wasn't a customer, so no wonder they have good reviews on there. I currently feel totally scammed by them, they have my iPhone 12 Max AND I've given them £10 to return it (which it hasn't been). AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Not worth the stress and time I have spent trying to rectify it.”
“They knocked down the price of my phone by 1/3 because apparently it didn’t meet the criteria they as a business set. It ticked all their boxes and then scammed me out of nearly £100 for what they said scratch’s and wear. Which is laughable. Joke of a business.”
