I got the acceptance email, and they're giving a lil extra. A welcome surprise.
Congrats on the trade-in completion !!I got the acceptance email, and they're giving a lil extra. A welcome surprise.

The extra is just the sales tax difference. Google's trade-in partner is not that considerate to increase the trade-in value.![]()
Thanks for the info. I did not know that. I received an extra $52 for my trade in. I live in ny and i have never received more than what the originally offer was for a trade in. I was wondering why i did this time.Congrats on the trade-in completion !!

Depending on your state, the sales tax is calculated after the deduction of trade-in or for the full amount.
When you place the order, Google takes the sales tax for the full amount. When your trade-in is accepted, the sales tax will be calculated for the full price – the trade-in amount. And the extra sales tax amount you paid originally will be included with your trade-in refund.
For example, even though my trade-in refund for Pixel 9 Pro XL is $600, I'll be getting around $660 after the trade-in is completed, taking into account the ~10% sales tax amount in WA State. Your total refund amount will vary based on your local sales tax percentages.
Sorry if you are in the below states

From Google search
"The states where sales tax is generally calculated on the full, pre-trade-in price of a new phone are:
California
Hawaii
Virginia
Arkansas
In these states, you would pay sales tax on the total price of the new phone, and the trade-in value would be applied as a simple credit to your payment, but it wouldn't reduce your taxable amount.
Extra. Lucky all who are getting extra. Last year I got exactly the amount. And this year at the store exactly 550 also. No extra.I got the acceptance email, and they're giving a lil extra. A welcome surprise.

I checked on my last year's order, and you are correct that they didn't refund the sales tax difference last year. I just got refunded the $699.Yeah I'll have to check on mine on what they did last year
