When it comes to selling your mobile online, there are two primary routes to consider, an online mobile recycling centre and an online auction house, like eBay.  Depending upon the type of mobile you are trying to sell, one can offer better value over the other.

The best way to sell online to a recycler is to visit a comparison site like Sell My Mobile.  We gather information from all of the major UK mobile recyclers and present it in an easy-to-understand compilation.  To see how much your mobile is worth via our site, all you need is the mobile manufacturer and model.

Sell your mobile online with eBay

When selling on eBay, you will need to be competitive, so before you list you should see what other mobiles like yours are selling for.  Once you have a price in mind, you will need to set up a listing, take photos, provide information, set a starting bid, determine postage and packaging costs, etc.  Listing on eBay costs a minimal fee.  When your auction ends, you will need to get your mobile to the buyer using whatever method you stated in your listing.

Selling on eBay is work.  However, the potential for more money for your mobile is there.  However, it is not a guaranteed.  Moreover, there are other concerns such as buyer issues, returns, low bids or even no bids.

While I cannot advise you on the best online venue for you, if you are selling your mobile online, weigh up your options.  Sometimes, auctions just are not worth the hassle.
