What is Sell Compare? How does it work?

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 (well, 4, actually) to sell your device today. And as Sell Compare is completely impartial, you don't need to worry that you're not getting the best price. Sell Compare is completely free to use — we don't pay you, you get paid direct by the recycling company.

Ready to begin? Just follow these four simple steps to success:

Search for your device. Type in your IMEI code or the name of the device eg "iPad 2" and find the relevant device. If you're having trouble then enter the IMEI code instead - here's how to find yours if you aren't sure.

Compare the price. Choose the best price but also take into account the reviews, powered by Trustpilot – you don't want to have a bad experience. We vet every retailer before adding them to our comparison engine.

Complete the sale. This part is easy, simply fill in your device details on the retailer's website, and they will take care of the rest. Sell Compare does NOT collect payment or handle the exchange of your device - you deal direct. The recycling company will provide you with a free envelope to post off your device to them — don't worry, they are all insured and tracked.

Get paid. Whether it's cash or bank transfer, you can expect to get paid as soon as your device is inspected by the recycling company. Typically this is next day - but each company has different payout times and policies, make sure to check with them if you have any queries.
