Who pays the postage?
We bear the cost of your shipping. You will receive the franking by email, which you only need to print out and affix on your parcel. This way, you can label and frank your device comfortably at home

What do I have to keep in mind when shipping?
After you have completed the sale, you will receive a delivery note and franking by e-mail. The delivery note contains important information for our staff. Print it out and affix it on the top of your parcel..

What if I am not able to print?
You can also send in the device yourself by post. Our address is given under Contact Us. Important: In this case, be sure to enclose a note with the order number or your contact details. Please also note that postage will be charged to you in this way.

What happens during inspection of the devices?
All devices are reset with a special programme before the inspection and all personal data is irrevocably deleted. Any armoured glass must be removed and will not be replaced. Our inspection team then checks all functions and the condition of the device, regardless of your rating on verkaufen.ch. If the assessment of the inspection team matches yours, the amount will be transferred immediately to your account or paid out in cash. If we assess the device differently, we will make you a new offer. If this does not meet your expectations, we will send your device back to you free of charge. The more accurate your condition information is, the faster we can pay you your money.

How do I get my money?
If the inspection of the device confirms your condition information or if you have accepted the price proposal, we will usually transfer your credit to you within 48 hours or pay it out in cash on the spot. What happens to the purchased devices? The purchased devices are inspected, refurbished and then resold. If the device can no longer be sold, it is recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.

What happens to the data on my devices?
Your device is reset and the memory is overwritten several times. This process takes around 15 minutes, and we use certified delete stations and it is free of charge.

Which devices can I sell to you?
You can sell us all devices that have a certain market share in Switzerland. The product range is constantly adapted due to product launches and the general market development. If you have any suggestions as to which devices we should purchase, we look forward to hearing from you.

How do I cancel the sale?
As long as you have not yet shipped your device, you can always contact our customer service and cancel the sale.

How do I protect the environment with my sale?
Resale is even more ecological than recycling. Most resources are consumed in the manufacturing process and recycling is very costly. We refurbish purchased devices and resell them. This way you save valuable resources with your sale and do something for the environment. 

I am a business customer. Can I also use your offer?
Yes. If you are a business customer and would like to sell a larger quantity, please send us an email and we will contact you.

You can easily enter a repair order on verkaufen.ch. Simply search for your model and select the desired repair. Our system will then show you the possible repair price so that you can already decide whether a chargeable repair would be an option for you.
