Super efficient and best price

I was offered far more than other companies. The packing arrived quickly with simple instructions. I was paid out within 24hrs of dropping it off at the post office. Really impressed and keep telling everyone about my experience. Many thanks

An absolute pleasure to deal with

An absolute pleasure to deal with, the process was so easy and no trying to haggle down the price on a phone that’s in perfect condition. Makes a change to deal with such an honest company. I won’t be using anyone else in the future. Thank you WeBuyTek

Quick service so cannot dispute that however £200 deducted from the agreed price seems very harsh - for a 2 year old phone there were no deep scratches on face and general scratches you would expect - shame but guess it was always going to be a let down

£54 for your phone, actually ... how about £8?

Quoted £54 for my phone, which i logged with them as faulty.

The fault is, it has a cracked screen.

They came back and offered me £8 stating faults:

"Beyond Economical Repair - Parts Value, Multiple faults found, Fault(s): No Display, LCD Dead,LCD Dead,No Display ,Unable to refurbish LCD"

Why LCD dead is logged twice, I'm not sure. It doesn't have a liquid crystal display. It has an AMOLED display. But, further more, it isn't dead, it powers on, you can navigate menus. The screen is cracked which under their "faulty" description allows for a cracked screen.

They upped the offer to £28.
I declined.

Hello Matthew,

Thank you for sharing your concerns. I would like to explain why we have had to reduce the valuation of your device.

Firstly, you were correct to select the Faulty condition due to the cracked screen. However, our terms and conditions explain that faults affecting the LCD/display may be subject to a revaluation. This includes issues such as screen burn, pressure marks, white spots, discolouration, or dead pixels, which can become visible when viewing a white screen. You can read more about screen burn here.
https://www.webuytek.co.uk/

Although the device powers on and you can hear sounds, our testing identified additional issues beyond the cracked screen. When the device was initially opened, the display was not functioning correctly. The screen subsequently remained completely black, despite the device powering on and producing sound.

This means the device has multiple faults, including No Display and a non-functioning display, rather than just the cracked screen. As the display is not working and the device would require a complete screen replacement before it could be refurbished and resold, it has been assessed as Beyond Economical Repair – Parts Value.

We understand that the device powers on, but the display fault and additional issues mean it does not meet the full Faulty condition criteria. This is why we have had to adjust the valuation to reflect the current condition and the cost of the required repairs.

We appreciate that this is disappointing, and we hope this explanation helps clarify the reasons behind the revised offer.

Devaluing items falsely

Edited to add: the paperwork confirmation on my account actually states they have quoted £410 for poor condition compared to the paperwork I received with the postage pack which states good condition so the whole system seems to be a shambles.

Terrible experience. Went on all the positive reviews on here but not my experience at all.

Quoted £410 for a ‘good’ condition phone. Always had a case and screen protector on and only 2 years old. Had valuation back at £316 stating there were scratches on the screen and a mark on the back housing. The good condition T&Cs state no deep scratches and no marks visible from 30cm away and it had neither of these. I took photos before sending.

They only offer to accept or have the phone returned so I’ve sent a contact form explaining that their valuation is disingenuous as the phone was probably in better condition than their ‘good’ descriptor.

Will await their response but not hopeful. Definitely avoid and go with a more reputable company.

Hello Emma

Edited: the paperwork provided details of order uploaded for GOOD condition of the device and your device has been downgraded to the physical condition of the device which updated status to POOR condition and that has been reflected in further communication. We do not offer the £412 quote for a POOR condition the same as all other companies on the market.

We’re sorry that your experience has not reflected the positive reviews you had seen, and we hope we can clarify what happened and find a fair resolution for you.
We also appreciate that your experience has highlighted areas where we can improve. Your feedback has been valuable in helping us review our communication and processes to ensure everything is clear and transparent.
Our aim is always to provide a smooth and straightforward experience. We hope that the final outcome that resulted in us purchasing your device and the way we have handled your case will be reflected in your final review of our service.

Thank you

£412 Quoted, £216 Offered – Very Disappointing

I was initially quoted £412 for my old phone, but after sending it in, the offer was reduced to just £216 because of the tiniest scratch on the screen.

I had described the phone as being in “good condition”, not “excellent”, so I was disappointed that such a minor mark resulted in the offer being cut by almost half. I’ve genuinely seen phones with much more noticeable damage being sold on Vinted for around £400.

I decided to accept the reduced offer because I had already sent the phone in and wanted the process resolved there and then, but I can’t say I was happy with the outcome. The reduction felt very disproportionate to the condition of the phone and the size of the scratch.

The process itself was straightforward, but the huge difference between the original £412 quote and the final £216 offer has left me disappointed. I think the grading and deductions could be much fairer and more transparent.

Hi Niamh,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the overall process straightforward, though we completely understand your initial disappointment regarding the valuation adjustment.

Following our recent communication, we hope the reasons behind the revaluation made much more sense and that you feel satisfied with how the final transaction was completed. Our goal is always to provide clear, standardized grading, but we understand how frustrating a significant quote adjustment can feel.

We truly appreciate your patience while we discussed this with you, and your feedback regarding transparency in our grading criteria is invaluable in helping us improve. Thank you again for your business, and we wish you all the best!

Great experience deffo recommend…

Not had the best experience with selling phones online. They either go missing or they don’t follow through on the quote even though I’m very truthful regarding the current condition of the phone. This time I sent it off, 24hours later the money was in my bank! No hassle at all

Absolute joke of a company

Absolute joke of a company. Don’t expect to get anything near what they quote you and when you decline their offer they just hold on to your phone for as long possible in the hope you accept

Hello Ishmael,

We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way and we do understand how frustrating it can be when the final offer differs from the original quote.

As we explained on the phone, once the device arrived with us, we tested it and unfortunately found that it did not meet the criteria selected when the order was placed. This is why a revaluation offer was sent to you.

After you declined the first offer, my colleague sent you a further revaluation after 3 days, as we always try to improve our offers where possible and find a solution that works for both sides.

We also understand your concern regarding the return of the device. Declining a revaluation does not automatically mean that the device is returned, as we need confirmation from the customer before arranging this. As we have not yet heard back from you regarding the second revaluation, we have kept the device safely with us while awaiting your instructions.

We have now arranged the return of your device and have shared the tracking number with you. The device is now on its way back to you.

We’re sorry for any frustration or inconvenience this has caused. We appreciate that this may not have been the experience you expected, but we have been following our process throughout and are happy to assist if you have any further questions.
