Sell My Phone: Fast, Secure and Hassle Free

When you search to sell your phone, you want a place that pays properly, keeps you safe and does not waste your time. That is why we built vendi. We cut out the stress that usually comes with selling tech online. No guessing the value, no worrying if your device will go missing in the post and no long waits for payment. Just a clear quote, free postage and fast money straight to your bank. Here is exactly how our process works and how you can get the best value for your device.

How to Sell Your Phone in 3 Simple Steps

Get an instant valuation online

You start on our site by selecting your device. We buy a wide range of electronics including iPhones, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watches, AirPods and other major brands. Our valuation tool pulls real market data so you see an accurate price for your exact model, storage and condition. You lock in that price for 10 days which gives you space to decide without any pressure. It takes less than a minute to get your quote and there is nothing to sign or commit to at this stage.

Ship your phone for free

Once you accept the quote, the next step is posting your device. You package it securely, include your order ID and send it with Royal Mail Special Delivery. We cover the postage by paying £10 toward shipping which is enough for tracked, insured delivery. You do not need to print labels as at the post office they will provide you with a label or pay anything at the post office. You just hand it over and keep the tracking receipt. Most users post their device the same day they get the quote because the steps are straightforward and fast.

Receive same-day fast payment

When your device arrives with us, we run it through a full verification. This includes AI driven checks for battery health, display quality, camera performance, audio, buttons, sensors, and general condition, and possible documentation. If the verification passes successfully and everything matches the description you gave us, we pay you the full amount on the same day. If your device arrives to us before 14:00 (two in the afternoon), the money normally lands in your account that same day. We do not delay payments or wait for resale. You get your money immediately.

Why Choose vendi to Sell Your Phone

100% free and risk free service

Our service is free from start to finish. You get £10 from us for postage and you do not pay extra fees. If we check your device and find something that does not match the description, we reach out to you with a revised quote. If you decline it, we return your device at no cost. You always stay in control and you never risk losing your phone or being forced into a lower offer.

Trusted by thousands on Trustpilot

The sell your phone market is packed with promises but many sites reduce prices without reason or delay payment for days. We built Vendi to be the opposite. Thousands of customers rate us as honest, quick and reliable. People choose us because everything is transparent. You know your price, you know when we receive your device, and you know when you will be paid.

Speedy payments and secure data wipe

Speed matters when you want to sell your phone. We issue payment the same day your device passes checks. We pride ourselves on being one of the fastest payout times in the UK. Security matters too. We make sure devices are fully wiped before they move on to the next stage. If your phone is already reset, we confirm it is clean. If it is not, we wipe it properly to remove all personal information before processing.

What to Do Before Selling Your Phone

Back up your data and perform a factory reset

Before you send your device, back it up. On iPhone you can use iCloud or your computer. On Android you can use Google Backup. After that, remove your Apple ID or Google account and turn off any iCloud lock, Find My iPhone, Knox Guard etc activation locks. Then perform a full factory reset. Once that is done, switch off the device and get it ready for packaging.

Remove SIM, memory cards and accessories

Take out your SIM card and any memory cards. Accessories are optional, only laptops require the chargers. You can send your charging cable or box if you want to but it is not necessary. Also, the original packaging can help protect the device and sometimes increases value but it is not required.

Check your device’s condition before sending

Look over your phone before you package it. Check the screen for scratches or cracks and check the frame, buttons, speakers and charging port. Battery health on iPhone is found under Settings > Battery > Battery Health. On Android it appears under Battery or Device Health. Having a clear idea of your device’s condition helps you understand the valuation more clearly.

How Much Is Your Phone Worth?

Factors that affect valuation

The value of your phone depends on a few main points. The model is the biggest driver. Storage size matters too. Condition is important whether the phone is mint, lightly used or damaged. Battery health and camera quality also influence the price. Naturally, new sealed devices usually receive higher quotes. When you know these details, you can understand why values differ across the market.

How instant valuations work

Our instant quote uses live pricing data from the second hand electronics market. It checks the model, storage and condition you select then calculates the best value we can offer. The price you see is the price you lock in for ten days. It does not change unless the condition is different from what was selected. You do not have to negotiate and there are no hidden cuts.

Will I receive the full value quoted?

Yes, as long as the device arrives in the condition you told us and the verification checks pass successfully. If there is any difference, we speak to you before moving forward. If you do not like the revised amount, we return your device for free. You never lose money and you never lose control of your device, until it is paid out by us.

Security and Avoiding Scams

How to safely sell your phone online

When you search to sell your phone, safety is often your biggest worry. Some platforms hold your device for days without paying, don’t communicate on time, or reduce the price without explanation. To stay safe, choose services with verified reviews, clear processes, fast communication, real company information, and fast payment guarantees.

Recognising and avoiding scam sites

Scam sites often list unrealistic prices, hide their company details or have poor reviews. Some respond slowly or refuse to return devices. If something looks too good to be true or the process is unclear, it is best to avoid it. Always check Trustpilot or Google reviews and always check how payments and returns work.

How vendi protects your data and payments

We protect you at every stage. Your device travels by tracked post. Our verification is fair and transparent. Payments are issued the same day. Devices are wiped clean before leaving our facility. If anything does not match your expectations, your device is returned free of charge.

FAQs

Can I sell my phone if it is damaged or not working

Yes. Many damaged devices still have value. Cracked screens, battery issues or minor faults do not stop you from selling. Just select the correct condition when getting your quote. If you have any doubts, you can always email us before sending the device in.

How quickly will I receive payment

If your phone arrives before 14:00 (two in the afternoon) and passes its checks, we pay you the same day. It is one of the quickest payment windows in the UK.

How do I get paid

We pay you by bank transfer, also PayPal payment is available if needed. It is fast, secure and simple.

How should I prepare my device before sending it

Remove your SIM, back up your data, remove your accounts, reset the device, switch it off and package it securely with your order ID.
