uSell.com is simply a cell phone buyback company comparison site. They do provide systems for the companies on their site, such as prepaid labels and order status, but all in all just provide the user with company reviews and a comparison of offers to buy cell phones and iPhones. uSell.com spends money on TV ads and other advertising, so they charge high fees to the companies on their site as commissions. You'll notice many offer prices for cell phones and iPhones will be lower on uSell than on the particular buyback company's website as they will have to pay a heavy commission to uSell. That being said, by selling your iPhone or cell phone through uSell, you do have the protection that uSell will back you up in case something goes wrong. |
