Hi! I am Angela, and I am a self-confessed gadget hoarder. Whenever a new brand or model comes up, I always make it a point to find a way to have the latest device. As a result, I ended up with lots of old mobile phones, and I am clueless as to what I should do with them.
I know I can sell them but talking with potential buyers would be time-consuming. Lucky for me, my friends recommended that I sell my phones to trade-in websites—like Trademore.
There are many trade-in device websites today, but Trademore is considered to be the best because they offer the best prices. In addition to that, their preferred methods of payment (Paypal or MasterCard) are accepted in most establishments. Lastly, the company accepts almost all types of smartphones. They take tablet and smartwatch trade-ins as well!
If you are interested in doing business in Trademore, here is a simple guide:
Step 1. Head to their website.
You can find them at Trademore.com.
Step 2. Look for your device brand and model.
Click the Sell a Device Button found in the upper right corner of the site’s homepage. You will be presented with the following categories– iphones, smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches. Choose the category that suits your device.
After choosing the category, you will be presented with options which you can narrow down by selecting a brand, model series, and price.
Step 3. Give more details about your device.
Provide more details about the device—color, service provider and memory capacity. The website provides filters for easy selection.
Step 4. Answer the questionnaire.
Answer the questions regarding the condition of your phone so it would be easy for the company to determine the most suitable price for your phone.
Step 5. Take a look at their offer.
The company will give you an offer based on the information that you have provided. If the proposal is good enough, proceed to the next step.
Step 6. Ship your item.
To push through with the transaction, you will be requested to submit your address where they can send you a padded envelope and prepaid shipping label that you will use in shipping the product. This package may arrive after a few days.
You will receive a sheet of instructions together with the package. Follow these instructions when shipping the device.
They will also send you an email confirmation of the transaction.

Step 7. Receive payment.
After receiving your shipment, the company will evaluate the condition of the device. Once cleared, they will send you either a Mastercard gift card or Paypal payment—your choice!
Selling your old devices has never been this easy! Thanks to the streamlined Trademore trade-in process, you don’t have to deal with nagging prospect buyers who wants to haggle! How convenient, right? As a new mom, this makes perfect sense to clean-up and tidy up our clutter. It also helps put extra cash in our wallet.
