How to Sell Your Phone on eBay

Selling your phone on eBay can yield great returns if done right. With millions of buyers, it’s a top platform, but success requires strategy. Here’s how to maximize your sale.

Start by researching your phone’s value. Search completed listings (under “Advanced Search”) for your model and condition—say, an iPhone XR in good shape averages $250. Next, take quality photos: use natural light, show all angles, and highlight flaws. Honesty builds trust. Write a detailed description: list specs (storage, color), condition, and extras like chargers. Vague listings scare buyers off.

Pricing is key. Auctions start low to spark bidding, but set a reserve to protect your minimum. “Buy It Now” works for high-demand phones—price slightly above average for wiggle room. Shipping matters too: offer free shipping (build it into the price) and use tracked postage for safety. eBay’s fees—around 10-12%—cut into profits, so a $250 sale nets you about $220.

It’s effective but time-intensive. Listing, answering questions, and shipping take effort. If that’s not for you, Fixsellr simplifies it. We repair and sell your phone on eBay, giving you 85% of the profit. A $300 sale with $50 in repairs means $212.50—competitive with DIY selling, minus the work.

Top Tips:

• Use keywords like “unlocked” or “excellent condition” in your title.
• Ship promptly to earn positive feedback.
• Check eBay’s seller policies to avoid surprises.
