weapon. It goes without saying that there are other platforms out there. For instance, check to see if the going rate for your specific iPhone model is higher on eBay, Kijiji or Craigslist. A quick 2-minute glance at the sites should give you an idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to sell it on eBay, here\u2019s our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmogrind.com\/blog\/how-to-sell-your-phone-on-ebay\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">guide on how to sell your device on eBay<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/sell-iphone\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">iPhones<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/sell-iphone\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Samsungs<\/a> go very well on any platform, whereas Androids will need some research. Or you can post on multiple platforms for the best shot at getting it sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preparing_Your_iPhone_for_Sale\"><\/span>Preparing Your iPhone for Sale<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, get your device ready. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmogrind.com\/blog\/checklist-for-selling-your-smartphone-ios-or-android\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Here\u2019s our guide with everything you need to do to get the most cash from your iPhone Sale<\/a>. Not following these quick tips may mean leaving money on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aswsyiok\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoiding_Scams_on_Kijiji_and_Craigslist_for_sell_iPhone\"><\/span>Avoiding Scams on Kijiji and Craigslist for sell iPhone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest fear people have is being scammed on Kijiji and Craigslist when selling their iPhone. It does happen, so here are the most common scams and how to avoid them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scam_1_Ill_pay_you_with_PayPal\"><\/span>Scam #1: I\u2019ll pay you with PayPal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you list your device on Kijiji, rest assured there is a distant buyer who will make you a generous offer. Only until you agree on the price, the buyer brings up the fact that you\u2019ll have to ship it to some US address or another continent altogether and they will pay through PayPal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: You can identify these buyers right away from the odd phone number they use. However, the distant \u201cPrinces\u201d have stepped-up their game and will commonly use local numbers via burner apps. So, another way to identify them is with the offer they give you. Often times, they will offer a higher amount to entice unwitting victims. And lastly, after your time has been wasted answering their questions, that the last telltale is the:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>will you take PayPal<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>can you ship it to\u2026<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, I think it\u2019s important to clarify. Although Kijiji is trying to push PayPal on its platform, it\u2019s way too high risk and very few people who offer to pay with PayPal on Kijiji are in fact legitimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, no\u2026 Just no!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, please oh please don\u2019t ship your device. Not within Canada and not to a prince from a distant land, I\u2019m sure the prince can afford to buy an iPhone somewhere other than Kijiji!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the customers that you actually meet face to face who want to pay with email transfer, I would also strongly urge against it. It is definitely safer but still carries a higher risk than cash. Plus, it ruins all the fun of using Kijiji and counting cash like the old days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scam_2_Robbery_and_Baiting_Crimes\"><\/span>Scam #2 Robbery and Baiting Crimes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t turn away just yet, this doesn\u2019t have to happen to you.

So if you live on the outskirts of a major metro area and if an extra $50 to $100 dollars is worth the trip, list your item in that city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that, plow through the listings scanning for your exact model and after finding four or five listings that match what your selling, you should have a strong idea of the market price for your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price your phone according to how fast you want to make the sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve picked a target price, make sure to add at least $20 for some bargaining room.

Clear the clutter in the background and include any accessories you\u2019ll be selling it with in the pictures. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmogrind.com\/blog\/how-to-sell-your-phone-on-ebay\/#takingpictures\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Read more on how to take the perfect pictures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crafting_the_Perfect_Title\"><\/span>Crafting the Perfect Title<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Include nothing but the key selling features of your device. Don\u2019t think sentence, Think only in words. Words like And, with, for, quick, price have no place here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmogrind.com\/sell-used-iphone-canada\/iphone-7\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">selling an iPhone 7<\/a> that\u2019s unlocked and in tip-top shape with an Apple warranty still valid and accessories. You want to fit in all those key selling points in the title without having the title truncated in search results. To do this, craft your title in 50 characters, this includes spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heres a good example<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>iPhone 7 128GB Mint Unlocked Warranty &amp; Accessories<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Description\"><\/span>Description<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do the title right, you\u2019d have described your device perfectly. Shoppers are nervous spending hundreds of dollars on Kijiji without the guarantees that come with a brick and mortar store purchase so the description field gives you a chance to inspire confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Write in conversational language<\/li><li>Mention that you are open to allow time for the user to test the device to their satisfaction<\/li><li>If you used a case or screen protector, mention it!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cws\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Communicating_with_Shoppers\"><\/span>Step 3 Communicating with Shoppers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes is super busy and you\u2019ll get a lot of response. Other times, nothing at all. Just be patient and wait it out answering every potential buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hard part is here. Expect many messages and 50% of them to ask you to ship it to them (scam). The other 40% will make downright insulting offers. Whatever is left will try and offer you way less once you meet or even worse, will arrange to meet and leave you waiting on the curb altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is annoying, but it can be worth your while if you stick to your guns on price, let the buyer come to you and keep negotiations open with all buyers so that if one doesn\u2019t show up you have other potential buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it for us folks!
