A direct selling plan

Prepare a useful advert in three steps

01

Identify the exact variant

Confirm model, storage, colour and whether the device is unlocked or tied to a network.

02

Document condition honestly

Photograph the screen, frame, rear, camera lenses, ports and any crack, mark or repair.

03

Prepare for a safe reset

Remove accounts, activation locks, SIM and memory cards only after preserving the information you need.

What your advert should include

  • Exact phone model, storage capacity and colour.
  • Network or unlocked status and dual-SIM support where relevant.
  • Battery health when the operating system provides it.
  • Screen, camera, charging, buttons, speakers and biometric testing.
  • Charger, cable, box, case and proof of purchase if legitimately available.

Common seller questions

Can I sell a phone with a cracked screen?

Yes, if it is safe to handle and the damage is described and photographed clearly. Price it according to its actual condition and repair needs.

When should I factory-reset the phone?

Back up your data first. Before handover, sign out of accounts, disable activation locks, remove personal cards and complete a factory reset.

Should a buyer test the phone?

A reasonable inspection can confirm the advertised functions. Protect personal data and meet safely before handing over an unlocked device.
