Please move this if it is not appropriate for me to post this in this forum. I picked this forum because it is busy and seems like it would have the most people who frequently buy/sell phones and could give me some advice.
I am going to sell a phone probably on swappa.com. I know to take pictures of the phone to show the condition and I will ship insured, but what do I need to know to protect myself from an unscrupulous buyer who would say the box I shipped was empty or something like that? If they did I could report the phone stolen and have it blacklisted, but what about apps that could be installed that would take a picture of the person to show they received it? Wouldn't I need to keep the phone activated on my account for those apps to work?
I've never sold anything over the internet before so any advice is appreciated. I could try craig's list locally, but it seems like you get more educated consumers who would know a good deal if you sell on the internet.
