Receiving and Inspection Questions

What happens when you get my item?
SellPhoneCentral's inspection team will ensure that the condition, make, and model of the technology matches the original quote. Once we have established the equipment matches the quote, we will decide to resell, recycle or donate the equipment based on the condition. You can rest assured your item will end up in good hands, whether it is being used by someone else, donated, or recycled.

What is a requote?
You may receive a requote if your item does not match the condition that was quoted initially upon Checkout. The requote will outline SellPhoneCentral's inspection of the item and possibly offer you a different amount from the original quote. You will have the option to accept or decline the requote. If you accept, we will go forward with the payment of the amount agreed upon. If you decline, we will gladly ship your item(s) back to you at no charge. If though you send in items deemed to be counterfeit/fake/reproduction, we will not pay for return shipping. If you would like your items back in this case, you must pay for or send us a return shipping label. We follow up with requotes minimally 2 times via email and try to contact customers via phone number as well. If we do not hear back within 2 months of receipt, the item(s) become property of SellPhoneCentral. Typically we recycle the devices in this case.

Is the initial offer for my item guaranteed?
SellPhoneCentral's inspection team will verify condition, make, model, and proper accessories outlined in the initial quote match what has been received. If the item is significantly different from the initial quote, SellPhoneCentral will issue a requote to the email address associated with the sale. The requote will outline SellPhoneCentral's inspection and reserves the right to offer another monetary amount.

We will make every effort to contact you via email and phone based off the info you provide at checkout. If revised quote is not responded to within seven (7) days, SellPhoneCentral LLC's revised offer is bound and payment in the amount of the revised offer will be issued.
If you respond to the requote before 7 days and do not agree with the requote, we will ship your item back to you free of charge.

Techpayout also reserves the right to deny purchasing phones. The denial could be related but not limited to BAD ESN numbers, locked phones, damaged, stolen or lost. If the device is listed as stolen or lost, we may possibly work with authorities and not return the device.


I received an email that my phone's ESN is invalid. What does this mean?
SellPhoneCentral's inspection team verifies all phones sent in have good ESN's that can be reactivated. SellPhoneCentral understands that sometimes ESN's are tied to lost or stolen accounts, accounts with pending balances, or tied to an active account. In any of these instances, SellPhoneCentral reserves the right to cancel the transaction.

SellPhoneCentral will work with you via phone or email to resolve an invalid ESN claim. If we are unable to resolve or cannot reach you, we may ship the item back to you free of charge or requote.

How do I know if my phone's ESN is clear?
Please contact your carrier's customer support line below. Please call from a number other than the phone you are requesting information on.

*SellPhoneCentral reserves the right to requote.

*SellPhoneCentral reserves the right to deny purchases of any equipment that is tied to an invalid ESN, banned gaming console, invalid or stolen serial number for computers.

Used & Damaged items restrictions
SellPhoneCentral's inspection team does not accept items which have been purposely tampered or altered with intentions to defraud SellPhoneCentral. Refurbished or functional replacement parts are acceptable but replacing devices with fake or completely non-functional internal components (motherboards, lcds, etc) is prohibited and we will not purchase these items. If we discover the issues after post payment, SellPhoneCentral reserves the right to cancel payments made via check or open payment disputes made digitally (eg. Paypal, bank transfer, etc). We highly recommend not trying to sell SellPhoneCentral devices which have been knowingly altered in thus fashion. In extreme cases of known fraud SellPhoneCentral may choose to work with local authorities.
