Sold my 6P on Swappa and this was the first time I had sold a phone on there. Usually I sell on Craigslist which is defiantly more preferable to sellers. Swappa has a great community and safeguards for buyers but for sellers you kind of get raked over the coals. First there is a $10 fee which isn't bad. You can't meet people locally so everything much be shipped which the seller assumes. So that could be $5-$30 depending on how you send it. The seller is also reasonable for the item even it arrives broken, stolen, or lost in transit so some insurance is highly recommended. Paypal is required payment of choice which is fine besides Paypal charges a 2.9% transaction fee and .30 cents. On top of that a buyer in theory could claim he/she never received a packaged (if the package doesn't require signature) or say the item arrived broken and do a charge back leaving the seller in the dark. I listed my 6P for $410 dropped it to $390 to sell asap. Swappa took $10, Paypal took $21.32, and sending it USPS priority with $50 insurance costed 13.45.
Overall Craigslist I was getting offers of $350 and while sometimes it is a headache meeting up with sketchy people it would have been cash and I would have had it that second. Overall if you do sell something on Swappa I would suggest making the price 5%-10% higher to deal with all these fees
