eBay
Bidding website The bidding site eBay is always a good site for selling unwanted items and it is no different when it comes to selling mobiles for cash. Ebay is a bidding website which means that once you have put your item up for sale, users of eBay may bid on your item within a set time period. The user who has bid the most amount of money within the time period, gets the phone and it is up to you to deliver it to them. This can be better than selling to companies, as there is no set price on your phone. Thus, you could get a lot more cash for it from an eBay customer than you would from a mobile phone company.
