THE GUIDE
How Cell Sooq works.
Selling, buying, grading, payouts — everything you need to know, in plain English.
Live pricing — quotes lock for 30 days
SELLING
Selling: four steps, zero surprises.
Get your instant quote
Pick your device, answer a few honest questions about its condition, and see your price on the spot. No signup needed to look — and your price is locked for 30 days.
Ship it free
Accept the offer and we send a prepaid shipping label instantly — or a FedEx QR code so you can skip the printer entirely. Pack it, drop it off, done.
Same-day inspection
Our technicians verify your device the day it arrives. If everything matches your description, your original quote stands — no games.
Get paid fast
Choose Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, or bank transfer. Most sellers are paid within 24 hours of inspection.
GRADING, EXPLAINED
Pick the honest grade, keep the full quote.
Grades work both ways: they set the price we pay you when you sell, and the price you pay when you buy. Honest grading keeps both fair.
Like new
Flawless screen and body, no scratches visible, fully functional. Looks like it just left the store.
Normal wear
Light scratches or scuffs you notice up close, but the screen looks perfect when it's on and everything works.
Heavy wear
Deep scratches, dents, or worn edges — but fully functional. Still worth real money.
Broken or faulty
Cracked screen, bad battery, won't turn on — we still buy it. Describe it honestly and the quote holds.
BEFORE YOU SHIP
The 5-minute checklist
Back up your data. Factory reset. Pull your SIM card. Remove the case and screen protector. Turn off Find My iPhone or Google Device Protection. That's everything.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
A box. That's it.
The label or FedEx QR code comes from us, shipping is paid by us, and the box can be any sturdy one you have. Wrap the device in something soft and drop it off.

BUYING
Upgrading? Here's how buying works.
The Sooq loop: buy and trade in, all in one place.
Pick your refurbished device
Every unit is tested and graded by certified technicians, and the condition grade is reflected in the price — so you know exactly what you're getting, and what you're saving.
Trade in on the product page
See the Trade In & Save option under any product. Get an instant quote for your old device and attach it to your order — no separate process.
One checkout, both orders
Your purchase and your trade-in go through together in a single checkout. Pay in full, or in four interest-free installments with Shop Pay.
Free shipping, fast payout
Your new device ships free in 2–3 business days, backed by the 12-month warranty. Ship us your trade-in with the prepaid label, and once it arrives, we send your payout straight back to you.
