Tried to order 2 iPhones for over 2 weeks. Jumped through all ID hoops after orders continually cancelled. Opened account and none of the 10 or so order attempts showed up on my card “oops, no order made”. Customer service indicated it was an issue on credit card end. Cleared purchase w credit card. Continued to get cancellation of order from Back Market. Finally gave up and ordered older model through Apple Store.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. BROKEN PHONE DELIVERED. SENT BACK WITH TRACKING AND THEY ARE DENYING RECEIVING IT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PROOF OF DELIVERY. WONT REPLY TO MY MESSAGES. Ordered an iPhone. Delivered it, but it was broken on delivery. The box was perfectly intact. The phone had stripes all over the screen. I chatted online with BackMarket (no way of phoning them) they started a chat. I sent images of the screen, of the box in every angle possible. No apologies, they instantly blamed courier. They said an investigation would be launched. The next day I was sent a return label. The post office advised that I use my own tracking and insurance so I paid for this. Was delivered the next day with proof of delivery. BackMarket is saying their Reseller G&Iinternational Ltd did not receive it. Even though I have sent them proof. This was on Monday it's now Friday and no refund, no apology, no phone. 250 GBP out of pocket. No accountability. An utterly despicable company. Ripped off!

2 weeks ago I ordered an iPhone 12 it came and looked great on the outside however as I started the transfer the screen started to tap on stuff on its own. It kept doing it so I requested a repair/replacement. I have received the “replacement” today and the same issue has occurred, so in my opinion the seller resent me the same phone I had issues with before without any form of fixing it whatsoever! I am so disappointed with my experience with the back market as a few of friends have had good experiences, however the same cannot be said for me. I also tried to call up and speak to someone however, the phone hung up before I could do so! So, now I am stuck with the same broken phone I was given before hand and no idea what to do from here.

I will never use this company anymore. When you purchase something you are under luck either It works and you are lucky or something wrong with it and you’re not getting any help

I had bough a phone from them 2 years ago that was in a very good condition. This year I ordered 2 phones and both were in very bad condition. In the process of complaining to Backmarket, they told me you are fraud and closed my account! If your account is closed you can't contact anyone. I'm very unhappy with the experience.

I bought a phone via Back Market. About 4 months later the battery started swelling, pushing the screen out of the casing. The device is within their 12 month warranty. But Back Market gave me the run around. I was told to go to a Google certified repair shop and get a diagnostic report, after sending them the report I was told to get a quote for the repair When did I become responsible for administrating the repair of a faulty, in warranty device?! I'm sick of them wasting my time.

I ordered a refurbished all in one Levoto computer and after 3 weeks the graphic card went down. I contacted them , they sent the return label and I sent it back the same day. 24 hours later they told me the seller said I damaged the screen and no refund! How they could say that when they did not receive the package yet! I sent with proof of return the pictures of the pc showing no damage but the images on the screen full of stripes and not a damaged screen. They have 30 days money back guaranty + one year warranty which expires on the 28th of February 2025 but they wrote to me that the warranty was expired! This company is a fraud. If you buy and have no complain it's ok but if what you buy doesn't function properly, you lose your money. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

I have purchased other devices from Back Market and have been 100% satisfied, not so with my latest iPhone purchase. It came with only 75% of its battery life from the original battery. They clearly state that they will not sell a phone with less than 85% life in the battery. It was sent back and was replaced with a knock-off battery. This “ new” battery won’t charge to 100% and gets very hot while charging. Now, portions of the screen won’t work making it impossible to select characters normally typing. I would think they would use a reputable “seller” but this phone is anything but acceptable with numerous defects. I sent it back the 2nd time now asking for a total refund as I’m disappointed in the item. It’s been over a week now and heard nothing. When I’ve asked they tell me they are waiting to hear from the “seller”. It seems they are more interested in passing inferior products than customer service. A once reputable and trusted company now pushing defective items. Not only have I purchased from them, I’ve recommended to family and friends. Never again. Buyer beware. Spend your money elsewhere to avoid disappointment.

Wrong condition and unhelpful customer service. The phone delivered was not as described. It had visible scratches including on the screen. Initially customer services were helpful and offered a small refund for part of the difference between excellent and fair conditions. Unfortunately the refund never materialised. Multiple promises and many excuses - it was a delay / an error / an oversight etc. each one after I waited a few days for the refund to clear. I assume now that these are all lies. Never using again. Don’t recommend you do either.

So far the refurbished phone we bought has been great. The trade in program is a problem. We sent in our device and we got a counter offer. The problem came when I went to get my money. They asked for a copy of my ID front, and back, SSN, DOB and my banking account routing and account number. Now I am not sure if you have been through any Identity theft issues but giving that info is a NO GO. I called BackMarket to get them to just credit my credit card or send me a check and they refused. The CS rep was rude, lied and said all that clearly states on the site and in the agreement when I purchased. Finally they listed the status as “payout” done when I never even gave them my info so it makes it look like they actually paid me. The trade in company is called “The Cellular Resource”. Then we got a message saying that “payment has been sent” I will be amazed to see if they actually send us a check and I will update this if so.

I paid a LOT of money for a Samsung Galaxy 21. Did not work from day 1. They refuse to do anything about it. I have called and emailed and emailed and called and they told me I never ordered anything from them and blocked me out of my customer account. I do not know where they got this phone but it was fried when they got it and they put it in a box and sold it to me for a premium and sent it to me after they got my money. The phone looked all but new , it just did not work and they have refused to even discuss it with me. Then after almost a year of emailing and calling suddenly 2 days after the warranty was up I was allowed in to my account so I could verify my purchase and ask for warranty. I mean the battery was bad , it only worked on speakerphone , it got hot , it locked up , the flashlight would just turn on when it wanted to and the list goes on and on. They got it out of samsung`s garbage and sold it to me and refused to talk to me on any platform. I guess that is how you make money.

Stay away if you are a seller. They will let customers scam you and steal your hard earned money. Go with other marketplaces like Reebelo, Swappa, or Amazon Renewed.

Only had the phone for a month and the charging port has completely gone on it. It’s under warranty but after reading the horror stories on these reviews about sending the phone and it being ‘lost’ it looks like I’m going to be forking out £75 for a new port. Avoid this company at all costs!
