Here's the trouble with selling on Swappa The site uses phone models as categories so visitors to the site looking to buy phones first see every make, model and carrier phone After clicking on the phone they're intersted in, then they see listings What's wrong with that? It excludes the buyer who's hasn't made up his mind which phone to buy and the worst part is that listings for less popular phones go almost entirely unviewed at all You can keep lowering and lowering the price but that won't get your listing any more views because nobody's even aware of your lising anyway This is why Swappa totally sucks Wait it gets worse The world at large has been relying on Swappa price data to establish the value of phones which sell for 50% more on ebay But wait, there's more Instead of a percentage they take a flat $10 fee when your item sells This grossly favors sellers of more expensive phones Swappa is an ILLIQUID marketplace for phones that are less than phenomenally popular Nobody is gonna see your listings and like I said, less popular phones sell for as much as 50% less than on ebay Therefore, it's terribly unfair to the global marketplace for used phones that Swappa is becoming a price determining standard When I tell you Swappa sucks I mean it really sucks Sellers, stay away from this piss poor marketplace where you're sure to go unappreciated and your listings for anything but the most popular phones are sure to go unnoticed
