One Swappa horror story could be getting a device that was described as in perfect condition but turned out to have a cracked screen. Another might be receiving a device that was supposed to be unlocked but was actually carrier - locked. And then there could be cases where the seller disappears after the payment is made and never sends the item.
A lot of people have horror stories on Swappa. For instance, I heard of a case where a seller sold a tablet that had a dead battery, but they claimed it had a long battery life. The buyer didn't realize until they had already completed the transaction. There are also instances where the device's IMEI was blacklisted, which means it couldn't be used on most networks. This can be a huge headache for the buyer who has already paid for the item. Another horror story could be the misrepresentation of the device's storage capacity. A seller might advertise a device with a large storage, but in reality, it has much less.
Well, a common Swappa horror story is when a buyer purchases a phone and it has some hidden software issues. For example, it constantly restarts or has apps that don't work properly. Also, there are stories of people getting items that were water - damaged, even though it was not mentioned in the product description. Sometimes, the shipping process goes wrong and the item gets lost or severely damaged during transit.
