About SellBack
The fairest way to sell your electronics
SellBack is a neutral comparison platform that helps you find the best buyback price for your device. We’re not a buyer — we’re on your side.
Every year, 5.3 billion phones become waste — and only 22% of e-waste is properly recycled. Meanwhile, the phone resale market is worth over €65 billion globally, yet most consumers still accept the first buyback offer they see.
We started SellBack because we believe sellers deserve transparency. No hidden fees, no preselected offers, no tricks. Just real prices from verified buyers, side by side.
Our Story
How it started
We noticed a pattern: friends and family kept asking us where to sell their old phones, and every time the answer was the same — it depends. There was no single place to compare prices fairly. So we built one. SellBack was born from a simple frustration and a belief that sellers deserve better.
“We’re building the comparison layer the electronics resale industry needs — transparent, free for sellers, and designed to give every device a second life.”

Sustainability
Sustainability matters
Every phone resold is a phone kept out of a landfill. The electronics industry generates 62 million tonnes of e-waste every year, and only a fraction is properly recycled. By giving devices a second life, SellBack helps reduce the environmental footprint of consumer electronics — one device at a time.
