How to Sell Smartphones Online?

First of all, you have to decide on which website you want to sell the phone to. E-commerce websites like Flipkart and Amazon etc. have almost the same process, but if you go only to gadget-selling websites like Cashify etc. then its process is slightly different. We tell you the common process that what you usually have to do-

  • First of all, go to the website on which you want to sell the smartphone.
  • Now go to the menu bar and select the option of selling. This happens on almost all big websites.
  • After this, you will have to do the listing according to your need and fill in all the information on the form here. Most of places it is asked what is the model and specification of your smartphone and when it was purchased.
  • You must give the information of the IMEI number.
  • After this, you will have to tell about your location from where the smartphone will be picked up or where you have to go to give the smartphone. You decide according to your convenience.

Many websites also offer to exchange the smartphone, so you can sell the old smartphone along with buy a new smartphone. All you have to do is click on the smartphone you want to buy and then you have to list your smartphone by clicking on the exchange button.

After this, all you have to do is wait for someone to buy a smartphone. On Flipkart and other eCommerce websites, someone comes and picks up the phone within 48 hours, so that you do not have to wait for the direct buyer.
