Check If A Device Is Lost Or Stolen

IMEI, which stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity, is a unique number containing 15 or 16 digits used to identify individual mobile devices.

How can I communicate with other users on Swappa?

Communication on Swappa takes place before (pre-sale) or after (post-sale) a purchase.

Pre-sale communication: Buyers and sellers can communicate about a listing in the public comments on listing pages. All comments should directly pertain to buying and selling that particular listing.

Post-sale communication: After a listing sells, buyers and sellers can communicate directly on their private sale page.

The exception to this rule is for Enterprise Sellers. The public comments for enterprise seller listings are disabled, and Enterprise Sellers can only be contacted post-sale.

How can I locate the IMEI / Serial Number for my device?

Swappa verifies listings before they go live to prevent scams and keeps junk devices out. To do this, we need your IMEI if you’re selling a cellular device -- or your serial number if you’re selling a WiFi-only device.

What is a sale page?

As soon as a listing is purchased, a private sale page is created for the buyer and seller. This page allows both parties to communicate directly regarding the sale. You can find your private sale page from your My Swappa page.

Note: Although other Swappa members cannot view your private sale page, Swappa staff can still view and moderate the comments on these pages.
