Questions about selling a damaged iPhone
How much does damage lower the price of an iPhone?
Cosmetic damage costs less than most sellers expect. A working iPhone graded Damaged is still priced on its model and storage. Prices track current resale demand for each configuration, and your condition answers fine-tune the iPhone figure before you ship. Two iPhone units from the same year can be worth very different amounts, because storage and condition move the price more than age.
Is a bent iPhone still worth selling?
Yes, if the screen works and it powers on. A bend is graded Damaged rather than refused. Your iPhone offer starts from what that exact model and storage sells for on the refurbished market this week, then subtracts only the repairs testing would need. Sellers see the same number as anyone else in the country, which makes it an honest benchmark against a carrier trade-in or a marketplace listing.
What is the difference between damaged and broken?
Damaged means physical marks on a working device. Broken means a part has stopped working. Both are bought; they are priced differently. Wear and cracked glass adjust the Apple device price; they do not end the sale. If testing differs from your answers, you choose between a revised offer and a free return of the Apple device.
How do I get paid when I sell a damaged iPhone?
Choose PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH) when you accept. After the iPhone passes testing, payment is sent within 1 to 2 business days of your iPhone passing testing. If anything differs from your answers, you see a revised offer first and can decline it for a free return. Most sellers choose PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH); money is sent within 1 to 2 business days of your iPhone passing testing.
