Does WecellTrade have a way of giving your phone back if they lowball you? Meaning let's say a Pixel 7 is supposed to be for $350 - if they don't agree with the value when you send the phone, can you get your phone back? Thanks.
As I posted previously, when WCT decided in Sept that they couldn't honor the high prices that they had offered, they gave people with sell orders in progress a choice to accept the new lower price or get their phones back. Some people decided to get their phones back and WCT promptly shipped them back.

I've read posts from people saying that if WCT doesn't agree with the condition of the phone that the seller stated, they will offer a lower price or ship your phone back. You need to reply to them PROMPTLY with your decision. If you don't reply within the time limit, they will proceed on the assumption that you accept the lower price.

I've done quite a few trades with them and so far they hadn't disagreed with the phone conditions that I stated. There were more trades before Sept but they wiped out that history when they redesigned their web site. The cancelled orders were at my requests because I couldn't obtain the free phones from Tracfone to complete the orders.

Awesome. Seems like you've done quite a few trades. Need to learn a lot from you.
Thanks, and I will try out WCT.

On a different note my updated status with Google Fi:

P7Pro with eSIM - Still NOT updated with activation or the counter. Showing 2 IMEIs. Fi support says that on Jan 4th, they will escalate to "promotions team". That team will respond within 72 hours.

P7Pro with Physical SIM: Updated with activation and counter counting down.
Removed the Fi app from the P7Pro. Also removed the Google account from the phone which was associated with Fi. Set up my main Google account. Everything works fine. Then counter is still counting down.

So it seems that Physical SIM works without problems. And once the phone is activated it doesn't matter if you remove the Fi app, reset the phone, set up different Google Accounts etc etc.

It was $531 when I checked 2 weeks ago. Has dropped to $442 now. They probably got too many from Fi customers.

Base P7 was $331 two weeks ago. Now $302.

EDITED: added info & picture of Base P7 price.
You probably can get about 370 net by selling a P7 on Swappa

Trade in stuck as well.

Shipped my iPhone 11 on 12/27 by going to USPS center in my city. Estimated delivery was 12/31.
However there have been no scans on the package. Still stuck in - USPS in possession of item from 12/27 which is basically the acceptance scan.

No updates at all. Seems like I will need to visit the post office again. Hopefully they didn't lose my phone.

That happens.

I've had multiple packages get scanned once at my local distribution center, then show nothing but "USPS in possession" until it's in the destination city.

I've looked at the Swappa site but never used them. Someone I knew posted a phone for sale on Swappa and being a newbie didn't post it quite clearly, got his ad deleted.

I have sold multiple phone and tablets on swappa. Great site if you want to access a large pool of potential buyers. The catch is you lose some of the profit with their fees and PayPal fees and shipping.

Thanks. I'll give Swappa a try if I can't get a good price with WeCellTrade when my P7 is clear to sell. Are there problems with "flaky" buyers on Swappa? Does Swappa provide any kind of protection for the sellers? I quit selling on Ebay after I shipped a brand-new expensive phone in sealed box to a buyer and he complained that I send a used phone, then proceeded to file a dispute and Ebay locked up the payment. Despite the fact that I have over 500 and 100% positive feedback, Ebay ruled in favor of the buyer and forced me to issue a refund and the buyer shipped back the phone without its original box and accessories. I no longer want to deal with individual buyers after that.

That is a pretty messed up situation. I agree that selling to WeCellTrade (I used to sell to TradeMore) is much easier and less headache. It is just a matter of how much you value the additional $75 or so. I haven't had any issues except one that was resolved easily mainly because the buyer was a pretty decent individual. It seems that Swappa is better than ebay in handling "flaky" buyers. I haven't had any issues as I said but you can search online. It is always helpful to take pictures/videos before sending the device too.

Thanks. However my package does NOT even show local distribution center scan.
It just shows:

Accepted USPS in possession of item ---> This is in the Post office I dropped.

So it apparently did not even get from the Post office to the local distribution center of the departing city. Anyway, I will wait a few more days.

Overnight update. Website now correctly recognize the activation and phone number transfer. Checkmarks and 60 day countdown are all there. I basically wasted 10+ days with the useless CSRs. Only bummer is that 60 days starts now instead of 10 days ago.

So if you still have the same eSIM not being recognized as part of the promotion fulfillment, just go ahead and buy a Fi physical SIM from Target, Amazon, BestBuy, etc. Follow the steps above and all should be good after 24-48 hours (it only took about 12 hours / overnight).

Only thing left is the actual trade-in and maintaining an active account for 60 days. Fingers crossed that portion goes OK.
I reached out to their reddit CSR - social media CSR and hey resolved it within a day. Although my account shows two different IMEI for the same phone (one is esim and other is physical sim) but counter have started and its been working fine from 10 days.

I'd check with the local P.O. to see if it's sitting on the floor, the clerk might have dropped it into the basket and missed. Even if you shipped it late in the day and before a holiday, it should've departed the original P.O. that evening.

Thanks. I'm headed to the post office tomorrow. It's a battle though trying to speak to a Supervisor who can help.

I've done a bunch of these trade ins. One time my package didn't update for 9 days and then it finally got a scan in PA, which is not enroute to the delivery.
Then it got re-routed to Indianapolis -> Memphis -> Nashville.
Took about 3.5 weeks for the package to deliver. It never got a delivery scan. Then another 10 days for Google to acknowledge receiving my trade in kit.

Google said my trade in quote had expired as 4 weeks had elapsed. Google refused to refund me on the original quote, but ultimately relented and gave me a courtesy "store credit". TOC states - device must be "received" by Google within 30 days of initiation of the trade in.

These days, I just send the trade in, the same day that I receive the kit. Even then end up biting my nails until I get the credit.
