If you want to avoid fees another way of selling would be through Facebook ads in your local area. You can sell it for cash in person then.

I'm looking around to try to figure out if Samsung Pay is even out yet, because I can't find the app in the Galaxy Apps store by name. :|
Well the good thing about Swappa is it goes through PayPal and if you get any issues you can always file a claim and get your money back. I havent heard of many instances of bad situations on Swappa though. I don't trust anyone in person these days even if we meet in the store.
you guys avoid ebay as buyers or sellers or both?
seems like it is pretty good on the buying side (for new phones at least), as long as the manufacturer will honor the warranty
The only used phone purchase I've ever done was through swappa. Bought a still under warranty iphone 5 that ended up having cellular problems. Got it replaced at the apple store. Can't really blame swappa, but damn am I glad I made sure warranty was valid. I've never sold a used phone, keep them to repurpose or give to family member
Dammit!
I sold off all my other smartphones (Moto X '13 & iPhone 6+) because I'm trying to commit to just owning and using one phone (the Galaxy S6) for at least the next 12 months.
Of course, as soon as the other phones were shipped off to their new homes I immediately start getting antsy to try more phones. This is darned expensive, and time consuming hobby. I really don't even have a good reason to frequent these message boards anymore, but here I am....every day.
Any serial phone changers here who've found a way to just settle in with one device?
I literally could not ask for a better phone for me than the S6, and yet I keep wanting to see if the grass is greener elsewhere.

I can understand that people can have perks with multiple phones and it is hard to give up. I am looking to move to iOS myself, especially with timely updates and a better user experience for me personally. I don't know if the 6+ is worth using for just a few months till the 6S+/6S. I might decide to keep my new 64 GB S6 Edge and flip the 32 GB one for a loss to just get some money saved up for a new MacBook.
Dammit!

Yeah its something I always struggle with, you will always want to see what device is better and always wonder how a device is.
Ahhh, selling on eBay used to be good. People are just dirtbags now. I havent sold a phone on eBay for a while and never had any issues but seems things are getting bad. People are just dishonest. eBay charges too much now as well.
Ive never had a problem buying anything which i do most often.

Glad i dont have that sickness. I find it pretty easy to stick to one phone. Like you said, it is too expensive and a pain to sell them off all the time.
I sell most of mine on Swappa these days. Fees are lighter than eBay and buyers usually tend to be more informed and credible. I stress usually because I recently sold my 2013 Moto X on Swappa and the buyer tried to return it because it wasn't the Developer Edition, even though my listing wasn't in the Developer Edition section, nor was it described as such. He filed a PayPal claim and PayPal and Swappa actually ruled in my favor. I just assumed they always defaulted to things being the fault of the seller.
It's interesting how so many people share that same sentiment these days. You'd think eBay would do something about it. There has to be a way to limit fraud.

Anything more than one premium smartphone every 12 months is highly excessive...
I guess until it hurts them in $$$ they will not react. I have heard from a ton of people how ebay is a buyer site now. People routinely take advantage of the buyer protection policies to rip sellers off. In their minds the buyer is always right.
I sold a perfect mint condition laptop on ebay last year. The seller filed a complaint 39 days later saying the laptop was not as described. He did not contact me prior to filing to say something was wrong. eBay automatically refunded him the money through paypal. I got the laptop back to find it all scratched up with a key missing. There was literally nothing I could do. I took it in the shorts on that one. The buyer ineffect just rented it for a while damaged it then returned it. ebayed just assumed he was right and i was wrong. Horrible customer service. I called them and wrote a letter/emails. Did not good.

yeah i have had 3 so far this month.....
He didn't even rent it. He borrowed it.
You basically lent your laptop to a complete stranger who then damaged it and gave it back. I expect that you even had to refund his shipping charges too.

Updates coming in June. May be longer for US devices due to carriers.
Can't wait.
After that, though, begins the wait for Android M. Wonder how long that'll be...
