“I contacted webuyanyphone to sell my old iPhone 13 I was quoted a price of £270-00 & chose the postal service, the phone was in perfect condition & had just been fully inspected & checked by the network EE & I decided to sell it to others, when originally I purchased the iPhone it was immediately put in a full leather case & also a gorilla glass screen protector, these were only removed when I sent the phone by post to webuyanyphone. It was packed in original box so the only time damage could have happened is when it was opened by webuyanyphone I received an email from them saying the screen was scratched & the rear was also damaged a fake Video was sent which was obviously used by the operative to support the reduced offer which was £205 this I accepted as I’d now checked on line & discovered that many people had complained that their phones were never returned to them following the same procedure, this is obviously a scam that’s being operated by this company, I would strongly advise that you avoid ?”
“Jokers said phone only worth £100 instead of £149 when they received it said it had damage .no chance Had screen protector and cover from new never been knocked about. Don’t bother with these robbers .go to ur recycle .”
“Out and out con from start to finish... I sent a six month old Samsung S23 FE that was my late Brother's phone, the initial offer was £295 then I got a revised offer after they received it of £175 and report said it had wear on both the front and rear, yet when I contacted them the agent said it was because I hadn't mentioned that it was an FE, but there is no FE in there list... two different stories.... if you are going to con people at least get your stories right”
“Would give them zero stars if I could. DO NOT TRADE YOUR PHONE IN WITH THIS COMPANY.
I selected the average condition for my iphone. They received it and marked it as average condition, then changed the offer from £100 to £40. They couldn’t explain why, even when I sent them screenshots of their ‘report’ which showed numerous discrepancies. They then had the cheek to try and charge me £10 for returning my device to me! When I asked them to show me where on their website they stated it was £10 to return the device, they conveniently waived the charge.
Clearly making it up as they go along. Avoid this company at all costs!!”
“I sent my iPhone 15 pro max after being given an estimate on how much it was worth. They received my phone the following day and informed me that I had sent a purple iPhone 12 which was worth £650 LESS. I have never had an iPhone 12 let alone a PURPLE PHONE!
When I contacted customer service I was told that I had to contact previous service provider for the IMEI number… which they couldn’t give me..
This company appears to be scammers..”
“This company are complete scammers! Do not expect to be paid the offer price. You will be lucky to get half of it. They will then charge you £10.75 to return your phone. Absolute scammers! I sent my S22, which was in great condition when I sent it. They then told me it was in average condition. I know for a fact that it was in great condition, as it was extremely well looked after.”
“Ridiculous company! I was offered £189, so sent my phone which is in immaculate condition (no screen cracks, scratches etc) - They send a 5 second video of them ‘checking’ the phone, but there were literally no chips or anything?! I was then offered £0.00 via email, so I called to check if there was an error in which the girl on the phone then said this was because I put in the wrong model of phone (it was an XR but I put in that it was an iPhone 12 by accident), I said I understood but it was still an immaculate iPhone so surely the offer would be a half decent amount, in which she said she could offer me £10.57 for it lol! I obviously declined but to get my phone back I had to pay £10.57 for them to return it to me!!!! They obviously scam people and bank on people just saying ‘keep it then’ or make money from the return postage fee!
DO NOT USE!!!!!!”
“What a scam they are,give you a price online then send you a email making excuses that thrres problem on the phone .dint use this company they will cheat you ,I got my phone back and there's nothing wrong with it . Cheat and scammers don't use them”
“Omg this company are so dishonest. Sent a phone no damage see photos. They then suddenly found heavy scratches to rear and front. Hence reduced my offer from £395 to 295. Please stay clear of this company!”
“I was offered £120
My phone was immaculate and they told me it was scratched. They sent a video but there are no scratches or chips. I was then offerred £10.57. Which is what I had to pay to get it returned.
DO NOT USE”
“Do not sell your phone to this company I send one in really good condition the initial offer was £240 when they received they only offered me £180 there was nothing wrong with the phone, this was the first time ionised this company and will be the last”
“Another victim here, as with so many others, I have been charged over £10 to get my phone back. Interestingly today's Money supermarket comparison site shows this company offering free returns! This is not true.
Ignore all these reviews at yor peril.”
“Same story as everyone else, I just wish I’d read these reviews before dealing with them. Initially offered me £195 for the phone. They didn’t send out an envelope and didn’t reply to my emails requesting it. Once I had sent the phone they acknowledged receipt of it, then the next day offered me £120 as it ‘had slight signs of wear’. The phone is absolutely immaculate, not a mark on it. I honestly think their business model is to offer the highest price, then lowball people when they receive it and bank on people being desperate enough or not have the time so they just accept the lowball offer.”
“Horrible valuations! It is a scam! Gives high price when you select all the phone parameters including genuine phone quality. Then after valuation gives you pennies and ask £10 for return. Do not use!”
“I am sorry that I haven’t read the…
I am sorry that I haven’t read the reviews before sending them the phone. They did to me same like everyone else, send me an offer of £208 and after they reduce it to £141 based on light wear. The phone it is in mint condition! More over they asked ne to pay them to send the phone back insured over £150. This is their liability!
It looks that they try to scam off people and waste your time, better not used them.
My Trade in reference is: CO-T-BUWWA”
“Everyone says the same... get offer price and change it once they receive the phone. They said my screen had considerable wear... not cracked or chipped but worn. I do scroll a lot but come on it's glass. Have asked they return it. Should have read the reviews first and avoided.”
“Offered £140 for my sons iPhone 11, ended up offering £70. I asked for it back and they said I’d have to pay £11 or £14 to get it returned. Kind of forced me into selling.
Bunch of thieves and scammers. Disgusting, steer clear!!.”
“Through top cashback. On receipt reduced offer by £64 stating that it had screen scratch and rear side wear. The phone was in pristine condition. I took the screen protector off the phone before I sent it, it was the one that was on the phone when I received it from samsung, there was no scratch on the screen when I sent it. They have a clause of any imperfection even if it is invisible to the naked eye. It could be just out the factory and they can drop the price on that statement alone. Scam! Do not use!”
