eCycleBest Ecylebest Review: False Promises and Low Offers for iPhone Trade-Ins

I gotta say, ecyclebest is not the way to go. I mean, I really tried to give them a chance, even though I read all the bad stuff about them. I even called them up before I sent in my iPhone 5 32GB to make sure they would give me the $215 they promised. They said as long as I described it right, I'd get the money. So I sent it in and waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, a week later, I got an email offering me $96 for my phone. What the heck?! I called them up right away, but I had to wait forever to talk to someone. I didn't want to take such a low offer, so I waited for like 30 minutes until someone finally picked up. I asked if I could get my phone back, but they said it was already being processed. Four days later, still no phone. I called again, and again had to wait forever to talk to someone. Finally, after like 35 minutes, I got through and asked to speak to a supervisor. But they put me on hold and then told me the supervisor wasn't available. I'm so mad at ecyclebest right now. Don't use them, seriously.

eCycleBest eCycleBest Review: Low Offers, Poor Customer Service, and Bait and Switch Tactics

I recently had an experience with eCycleBest and unfortunately, it was not a positive one. I had heard about this company from a friend and decided to give it a try. I had a black 64 GB 4S iPhone that was in great condition and I was looking to sell it to get some extra cash for a new iPhone 5S.

I called eCycleBest and was put on hold for 40 minutes before finally being transferred to the purchasing department. The customer agent who answered the phone quoted me a price of $150 for my phone. However, before finalizing the sale, the agent went over the terms and conditions of the company with me. I listened carefully and felt reassured that my phone would be inspected thoroughly and I would receive a fair price.

After six days, I received an email from eCycleBest stating that my phone was in average condition and they offered me $80 for it. I was disappointed with the low offer and replied with a rejection. However, things took a turn for the worse when the purchasing department called me and informed me that they had already sent my phone for recycling and could not return it to me.

I was shocked and upset that I had lost my phone without any warning or consent. I felt like I had been scammed by eCycleBest. After doing some research online, I found that many other people had similar experiences with this company. They had complaints about low payments, bait and switch tactics, and poor customer service.

Overall, my experience with eCycleBest was not a good one. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking to sell their electronic devices. It is important to do your research and read reviews before trusting any company with your valuable possessions.

eCycleBest Beware of eCycleBest: My Experience Selling a Laptop to Them

I recently had an experience with eCycleBest, and I must say, it was not a pleasant one. I was looking to sell my four-year-old HP laptop, which was in like-new condition. I stumbled upon eCycleBest's website, which quoted a preliminary offer of $95 for my laptop. I was thrilled and decided to give it a shot.

I used the shipping label provided by eCycleBest and my own box to mail them the laptop. However, it took a whopping 18 days for the package to arrive at their location, and the tracking number they provided was completely useless. It gave no current location status or ETA, and the date mailed was "unavailable." I was starting to get suspicious.

I tried emailing the company for an update, but all I received were auto-generated replies from Brian, their "Customer Service Champion." The replies stated that they do not reply to emails and to please call Customer Service. I made multiple attempts to call, but all I got was a recorded answer and being placed on hold for an indeterminate amount of time. The longest I held on was 20 minutes, and needless to say, I never reached a live person.

Finally, I received an email stating that my laptop had been received and was awaiting inspection. A week later, I received a "congratulatory" email notifying me that I had been paid $14 for my laptop, which, again, had barely been used and was in excellent condition. I was NOT given the opportunity to accept or decline the offer. I was outraged.

I declined the payment by issuing them a PayPal refund and requesting that they return my computer immediately. I am giving them five business days to respond before I file a complaint with the BBB and possibly the authorities in Nevada. My guess is that they are using high offers to lure people to send electronics and mining the devices for personal data, which a good hacker can find even on wiped hard drives, to be used to commit the crime of IDENTITY THEFT.

I was stupid and did not do my homework. I urge others to not make the same mistake. Be cautious when dealing with eCycleBest, and always do your research before sending any electronics to them.

eCycleBest EcycleBest Review: Untrustworthy and Disappointing Experience

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with my experience with EcycleBest. I went on their website on April 12th, 2015 and got a quote for my phone for $241. I thought that was a pretty good deal, so I agreed to send it in. But then, on April 29th, 2015 at 4:50 PM CST, I got an email from EcycleBest saying that my phone was only worth $31. I was shocked! I went back on their website and saw that they were now quoting my phone at $228. What the heck?

So, I responded to the email and asked for my phone to be returned to me. But, they told me that I had to call their purchasing department to request a return. I waited on hold for 28 minutes before I finally got through to someone named Melanie. She told me that my phone had scratches on the battery cover and frame, which was why they lowered the value. But, I had always kept my phone in a LifeProof case, so I didn't understand how it could have gotten scratched. When I asked to speak to a manager, Melanie just talked over me and said they would mail my phone back to me. I was so frustrated!

I called back and spoke to someone named Denise, but she wouldn't connect me to a manager without an account number. I was so fed up at this point that I filed a complaint with the NV States Attorneys office. I mean, if they're going to scam people like this, they deserve to be held accountable.

Overall, I would not recommend EcycleBest to anyone. They're not trustworthy and they don't seem to care about their customers. If you're looking to sell your phone, I would suggest finding a different company to work with.

eCycleBest eCycle Best Review: Good Option for Selling Old Laptops, but Read the Policies First

As a businessman, I was looking for a way to get rid of my old laptops and make some extra cash. That's when my wife's best friend recommended eCycle Best to us. We were excited to hear about the good quotes for laptops on their website and decided to give it a try.

After calling their helpline, we were guided through the complete procedure by the purchasing department. We quickly packed our laptops and sent them to the company. We called them the next day to confirm that they had received the shipping box, and they confirmed that they had received all three laptops.

We were told to wait for two weeks for the payment to be processed. However, after one week, we checked our PayPal account and found that no payment had been received. We called eCycle Best again, and they informed us that the laptops were not working properly. The purchasing department offered us only $260 for all three laptops instead of the quoted price of $450.

I was not happy with the low offered price and demanded that they return my laptops. However, the purchasing department reminded me of the company's policy regarding terms and conditions. They told me that we had only five days to re-negotiate the offered price as per the company's terms and conditions. Unfortunately, we had missed the inspection email as we were on a week-long holiday and did not check our emails regularly.

Eventually, we received the payment of the inspected offered price of $260. We had an average experience with this company, but we learned that it's important to check our emails regularly and keep track of the terms and conditions. Overall, eCycle Best is a good option for selling old laptops, but make sure to read and understand their policies before sending your devices.

eCycleBest eCycleBest Review: Scam Alert - Avoid This Company & Follow These Steps to Protect Yourself from Losing Your Device & Money

This company, eCycleBest, has multiple names such as Cashforlaptops, CashforiPhones, and SellYourCell, but they are all the same. They are not trustworthy and they scam people out of their devices. If you want to avoid the hassle of not getting your device back or getting less money than you deserve, follow these steps.

Firstly, it is best to avoid this company altogether. If you haven't shipped your device yet, save yourself the trouble and use another site or sell your device yourself. You will thank yourself in the end. However, if you have already shipped your device, log into their online system and keep an eye out for updates. Sometimes their emails go to spam, so make sure you don't miss any updates they send. Losing an update could mean losing your device.

Secondly, read their Terms & Conditions on their website. When they receive your device, they will send you an email saying "Device Received." However, wait until you receive the "Device Inspected & Valued" email. This is where they will try to lowball you. In their T&C's, it states that you must call them within five days to discuss the offer. Remember to call them, not email, within four days to ensure they don't ignore your calls on the fifth day. This is not business days, so keep that in mind.

Thirdly, once you call them, they will try to convince you to let them keep your device and increase the offer without justification. This is where you can decide what your selling threshold is. Do you take their increased price or not? It's up to you. However, if you feel they are not making an effort, you can decline their final offer, and they must return your device in the same condition as sent according to their T&C's.

My experience with this company was terrible. I was quoted $881 for my Macbook Pro 13" Mid-2015 2.7 GHz laptop on Cashforlaptops. However, I received an offer of only $136. What a rip-off! I called to get my device back, and the offer went from $136 to $450 to $560 with no justification. This shows that they are trying to prey on people wanting to get money for their devices and scam them out of paying them the original quote. I got my laptop back and sold it to a legitimate site.

If you're looking for a good site to sell used devices such as phones or laptops, try using the eBay Valet program. It is a much safer and reliable option.

eCycleBest Terrible Experience with Ecylebest.com: False Promises and Unprofessionalism

I recently had a terrible experience with ecyclebest.com. I had heard about their bad reviews, but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and try them out anyway. I even called in beforehand to confirm that they would give me the amount they offered for my iPhones. They assured me that they would, so I sent in my iPhone 5 32GB and iPhone 4S 32GB for $203 and $171 respectively.

However, after receiving many automated phone calls and emails urging me to send in my phones before time ran out, I received an email offering me only $9 for my iPhone 5 and $8 for my iPhone 4S. I was given three days to deny the offer, but I had to call in to do so. When I called in the next day, I was put on hold for a long time and transferred multiple times before finally speaking to someone. They told me that my phones had already been processed and that I would automatically receive $10 and $8 through PayPal.

I didn't believe them and demanded my phones back. After much arguing, they finally agreed to start the process of returning my phones. However, I continued to receive automated emails and phone messages telling me that I still had time to accept the $8 and $10 for my phones. When I called in to check on the status of my phones, they told me that it was still in the process of being returned. Four days later, I still hadn't received my phones or any confirmation that they had been sent back.

When I called in again and asked to speak to a supervisor, I was put on hold for a long time and then told that a supervisor was not available and couldn't call me back. They suggested that I file a complaint on their website, but I didn't want to waste my time with them anymore. I was extremely disappointed with their unprofessionalism and felt scammed by their false promises.

I would never recommend ecyclebest.com to anyone and am embarrassed for anyone who works for such a company. I don't understand how they can stay in business with such terrible practices. I have used Gazelle in the past and have always been paid what was quoted in a professional and courteous manner. Don't waste your time with ecyclebest.com and their other domain names, such as cashforiphones.com, cashforlaptops.com, and mobile.cashforapples.com.

eCycleBest Beware of this Scam Company: Lowball Offers and Damaged Devices

This company is not to be trusted! The quote you receive online is not even close to what they will offer you, no matter how good the condition of your device is. After sending in your device, they will offer you an extremely low amount that is nowhere near the online quote. You will have to call and negotiate with their "purchasing rep" who will continue to offer you a low amount until you are lucky enough to get half of the online quote.

I had sent in two devices to this company. The first device was dealt with in the same manner as described above, and I ended up taking their lowball amount because it was not worth the hassle of dealing with them anymore.

The second device I sent in was an iPhone 5 that was in excellent condition. I had never dropped the phone, and there were no scratches on the screen since I always used a screen protector and case. The phone was working perfectly fine, and I only stopped using it because I had upgraded to a 6 Plus. After sending in my phone and receiving the ridiculous quote, I tried to negotiate with them. However, I decided to ask them to send me my phone back as my niece had just damaged her phone, and I thought I could let her use my old phone since it was in great condition. When I received my phone back, it was completely damaged. The screen and LCD had lifted up from the casing, and the casing itself was dented. I called the company and explained my issue, and they told me that the issue would be escalated to someone in "management." After not hearing anything for a couple of weeks, I called again and was told that they were still working on it and that someone would get back to me. After more than a month and numerous follow-ups, I called again today and was flatly told that the phone was damaged when they received it and it was not their responsibility. I used the packing materials that their company sent me to pack my phone in, and I do not believe for a second that the phone was damaged in transit. If the package had been mishandled in transit, both devices would have been affected.

This company is a total scam in so many ways! Their customer service is deplorable. Initially, I had recommended this company to my sister and a couple of friends because they had some of the best trade-in values. However, I have learned my lesson and will never use this company again. I will also make sure that everyone I recommended this company to knows how horrible and dishonest they are.

eCycleBest ECycleBest Review: Misleading Estimates, Poor Customer Service, and Lowball Offers

So, I've been selling my old mobile devices for a while now, and I've had good experiences with Gazelle, Glyde, and NextWorth. But this time, I decided to try out a new name that popped up on Google: ECycleBest. They gave me an estimate of $107 for my iPhone 4S 64GB, which was a bit high, but I figured even if I got half that after inspection, it would still be better than Gazelle, which only offered me $30.

On January 20th, I shipped the phone out after receiving a box from ECycleBest to ship it in on the 17th. I received an email from them on January 23rd that the phone was received and would be inspected shortly. But on Saturday, January 25th, I received an email that said the final offer for my phone was only $8. That's a huge difference from the initial estimate, and it seems like a lot of other customers have had the same experience.

The email was very misleading, too. They said that they carefully inspected my device by hand and that the $8 offer was fair and per their Terms & Conditions. But there were no links in the email on how to contact them to dispute my evaluation, even though I knew I had 3 days to contest it.

So I started calling their Customer Service number on Monday, January 26th, but I kept getting kicked off the line. I tried back on Tuesday, January 27th, but the CS reps were very short with me both times and put me on hold before I had finished asking for assistance. I spoke to two reps, Brittany and Tabitha, and both seemed unconcerned about my situation.

Overall, I think ECycleBest is ill-prepared for the type of business they run, and at worst, they are scamming innocent consumers. I called them 10 times and received no assistance whatsoever in my claim. I fully believe they need to be shut down.

eCycleBest Beware of eCycleBest: A Complete Scam! Avoid Doing Business with Them

I recently had a terrible experience with eCycleBest, a company that operates under multiple websites such as cashforlaptops.com, cashforiphones.com, and cashforberrys.com. Let me tell you, this company is a complete SCAM! I strongly advise you to avoid doing business with any of these sites.

I had to file a Better Business Bureau Complaint just to get a call from this company and receive additional payment for my device. It was the only way to get the full payment for my device, and I know it's the only way for anyone else who has used this company or any of their websites. The more complaints they receive, the lower their rating becomes, and that's the only way to stop them, so far. I also recommend filing a complaint with the Sparks Police Department in Nevada and telling your story, as they are now investigating this business. All of these websites are listed in the BBB, but the true company name is Laptop & Desktop Repair, LLC.

Let me share my story with you. I found eCycleBest online to sell my iPhone 4S for some extra cash. After following the prompts for the model and make of the phone and the condition of the phone, I was quoted $157. Since the phone was in mint condition and had hardly been used, I was satisfied with the quote and confident that this would be a quick transaction. However, I did not hear anything from the company for weeks and attempted to contact customer service with no success. I either got the "heavy call volume" queue or a busy signal through the other telephone number offered to consumers.

I then decided to log onto the website and found that they had posted a message into my account in there, without sending any emails to my personal account. Any normal person would not know to log into this account on a regular basis to find messages, especially when they specifically tell you that they will be sending you an email to the address you provide. Evidently they needed the password to gain access to the phone, which I had forgotten to delete, and I responded to the email and provided the password to them.

Luckily, I received an email to my personal email account letting me know that they had received the email and would be sending the device back to inspection which normally takes 24-48 hours to complete and to expect a phone call or email with the results and to expect payment shortly thereafter (the next business day). However, I did not receive a phone call or voice mail nor did I receive an email from them confirming completion of the inspection. I only received an email from Paypal stating that I had received $24 for my iPhone. This was well below the original quote, and I did not accept this price for the sale of my device, as the device is in mint condition.

I attempted to contact the company as I was not happy with the price they offered, but I did not receive a response from them. I have left several messages with them and have sent emails to them, but still have not received any response. I logged into my online account and noticed that they have also deleted all of the internal email correspondence regarding the sale of my iPhone in an attempt to erase the transaction history. Luckily, the customer service rep responded to my personal email, so I do have documentation from the internal account over in my personal email which they cannot touch.

According to the company's procedures, once inspection is completed, they follow up with an email or telephone call to ensure that both parties are still willing to engage in the sale of the device. However, this did not happen, and this has happened to over 328 others (maybe more, as those are the ones who have filed complaints here). Additionally, this company is only licensed as a Laptop and desktop repair company and is not licensed to buy these products online, nor do they have a fictitious name license on file in Sparks. This is a clear violation of their business license.

Quoting a customer $157 for a device which is clearly in mint condition and then reducing that price by 85% without communication or offering to return the device is criminal, especially across state lines. As stated in the "how the system works," the consumer will be offered to have the device returned if they do not agree to the final offer if it is not the same as the original price quoted. I have seen several complaints on here which could constitute criminal actions on behalf of this company due to the pattern of business practice and "resolution."

In conclusion, I strongly advise you to avoid doing business with eCycleBest or any of their websites. They are a complete scam, and I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through.

eCycleBest eCycleBest Review: Fraudulent and Deceitful Company with Unfair Pricing Tactics

I recently had an experience with eCycleBest and I must say, it was not a pleasant one. I feel it is important to share my experience with others so they can avoid the same mistake I made. This company has a reputation of being fraudulent and deceitful, and I can attest to that.

From the very beginning, I was misled and deceived at every point of communication. The management of this company consists of cheaters and deceivers who will do anything to make a profit. They will never pay you the estimated and quoted price for your electronic items. Instead, they will inspect the condition of your gadgets and re-estimate the quoted price in the form of an offered price. In most cases, they will reduce the quoted price to almost half of what was initially offered. This means you will have to re-negotiate intensely to increase the offered price.

One of the things I disliked the most about this company was the negotiations and bargaining. The technical inspection team pretends to be very smart and will check even the minor scratches and defects of your electronic gadgets. This can be frustrating and time-consuming. To communicate with this company, you need to have a lot of patience. I was treated like an idiot and schmuck, and their communications made me feel like a nerd and loony.

In conclusion, I would not recommend eCycleBest to anyone. They have a reputation of being fraudulent and deceitful, and my experience with them confirms this. If you want to sell your electronic items, I suggest you look for a more reputable company that will offer you a fair price without any deceitful tactics.

eCycleBest Unreliable and Frustrating: My Experience with Ecylebest.com

Let me tell you about my experience with ecyclebest.com. At first glance, their website looks legit and professional. I was enticed by the estimated price they offered for my iPhone, so I decided to give it a shot and sell it to them.

The customer representative I spoke with was very polite and helpful, answering all my questions and concerns. However, once I shipped my iPhone to them, everything changed. I was left in the dark, with no updates or tracking information about my device. I felt ignored and frustrated, wondering if I would ever see my money or iPhone again.

After a month of waiting, I finally received a check for $80. I was extremely disappointed and angry. The whole experience was a nightmare, and I regretted ever doing business with ecyclebest.com.

In conclusion, I would not recommend this company to anyone. They may have a glossy website, but their customer service and communication are severely lacking. Don't be fooled by their estimated prices, as you may end up with a lot less than you expected. Save yourself the stress and look for a more reliable and trustworthy company to sell your electronics to.

eCycleBest Beware of eCycleBest: My Terrible Experience Selling My Phone to Them

I just wanted to share my experience with eCycleBest and warn others to stay away from this company. I was extremely disappointed with the service I received and if I could give them a 0-star rating, I definitely would.

I had a brand new Samsung Galaxy On5 that I had never used before and according to their website, it was worth $100. I sent it in for inspection and was shocked to receive only $20 in return. To make matters worse, the payment was not even in cash. I felt like I had just lost my phone and was extremely frustrated.

I immediately called their purchasing department to inquire about the low payment and was told that my phone had been recycled. I called within two days of receiving the email and also sent an email to express my disagreement with the $20 payment. However, they were not willing to budge and I felt like they were trying to rip me off.

It was a terrible experience and I still feel like I lost my phone. I could have sold it to a third world country and gotten $100 for it. But at least I found out that this company is a scam and I will never work with them again. I have two other new phones that I will not be selling to eCycleBest or any of their other websites such as Cashforlaptops, CashforiPhones, and SellYourCell.

Please do not make the same mistake I did and sell your phone to this company. They are not trustworthy and will lie about the condition of your phone to pay you less than what it's worth. I hope this review helps others avoid this terrible experience.

  • eCycleBest has received positive review on our site. This is a good sign and indicates a safe and reliable experience for customers who choose to work with the company.

eCycleBest Beware of eCycleBest: False quotes, delayed payments, and poor customer service

I recently had a bad experience with eCycleBest, a company that claims to buy used electronics from customers. I was looking to sell my Dell laptop and decided to check out their website. The online estimation system gave me a quote of $300, which seemed like a fair price for my laptop's condition and technical specifications.

However, things started to go downhill from there. When I called the helpline to confirm the details, I was transferred to the purchasing department after waiting for half an hour. The lady who attended my call explained the procedure and also mentioned that there was a technical problem with the online estimation system.

Despite this, I decided to send my laptop via the free shipping box provided by the company. I called again to confirm that they had received it, and the purchasing department confirmed that they had. However, the payment was delayed for weeks, and I had to keep calling to follow up on it.

To make matters worse, when I finally received the payment, it was much lower than the quoted price. I felt cheated and frustrated by the whole experience. It seemed like eCycleBest had lured me in with a false quote and then delayed my payment for as long as possible.

I would caution anyone considering selling their electronics to eCycleBest to be very careful. The company's practices seem fraudulent, and they do not seem to value their customers' time or trust. I regret sending my laptop to them and would not recommend their services to anyone.

eCycleBest eCycleBest Review: Disappointing Offer and Poor Customer Service

I recently had an experience with eCycleBest and it was not a good one. I was excited to receive an offer of $103.00 for my phone, which was in excellent condition with no scratches or damages. I even included a $10.00 gift card with the phone when I sent it in, hoping to get a total of $113.00. However, after waiting for two weeks, I received an email stating that they were only paying me $5.00 for my phone. I was shocked and confused, so I replied to the email and was told to call purchasing.

When I called, I was informed that my phone had scratches all over it and was only worth $5.00. I was extremely disappointed and frustrated, so I asked them to return my phone immediately. However, after waiting for 10 days, I still had not received my phone. I called them again and was told that there was an issue with the entire shipment they sent out on 3/28 and that my phone should be back to them by today, 4/8, and it would be resent. I was not happy with this response and told them that at this point, it needed to be overnighted to me. Their response was not reassuring, as they said they would send it quicker than UPS ground, but they just didn't know when it would get to me.

I have sold phones to Usell in the past and they always paid the amount in the initial offer. I regret not going with them this time, as their offer was lower than eCycleBest's, but they are a trusted company. I learned my lesson and will not be using eCycleBest again.

In conclusion, I would advise anyone considering using eCycleBest to run, not walk, and not send their device to them. It is better to go with a trusted company, even if their offer is lower, than to risk dealing with a company like eCycleBest.

eCycleBest eCycleBest Review: Don't Waste Your Time or Money - A Rip Off!

I decided to give eCycleBest a shot and recycle my Samsung Galaxy Mega. I was quoted a price of $179 on their website, so I thought, "Why not?" They sent me the packaging to send it to them and I returned it. However, it took them over a week to "quote" inspect it, which should have been my first clue. I mean, come on, it's in excellent condition and I bought it brand new less than a year ago.

After sending them multiple emails inquiring about my device, I finally received an email today stating that they had finished the inspection and that they would be sending me a check or depositing $28 into my PayPal account. Can you believe it? I was quoted $179 and they're only giving me $28. What a rip off!

To make matters worse, the email included a number to call, so I decided to give them a piece of my mind. I called about 30 minutes ago and I'm still on hold! I should have gone with USell.com like I did before. These people are so bogus and this is just a way for them to profit off of you while you get left with practically nothing.

I highly recommend avoiding this site at all costs. They're just trying to get your phones for way less than they're worth so they can make a profit. Don't make the same mistake I did.

eCycleBest eCycleBest Review: Initial Quote of $1000, Ended Up with $80 for Old Electronics

So, I had this pile of old laptops and an iPhone that I wanted to get rid of, and I stumbled upon eCycleBest. Their website gave me a quote of $1000 for all of it, which sounded pretty sweet to me. I was excited to get rid of all that stuff and make some cash.

The good news is that they sent me the packing materials super fast. But then, things started to go downhill. I waited for two months and didn't hear anything from them. I was getting worried, so I called them up. And then I called them again. And again. I had to call them twice a week for three weeks before they finally gave me a quote.

And guess what? They offered me a measly $80 for everything. I couldn't believe it. I told them that was the cost of just one computer, but they said that was the market value. They even tried to make it sound like they were doing me a favor by increasing the offer to $100. What a joke.

They explained that their initial quote was only for "factory sealed" electronics. What does that even mean? I asked them to return my stuff, but they said I had to pay for the shipping. I felt like they were just trying to take advantage of me.

So, I'm warning you now: don't bother with eCycleBest. They're just trying to trick you with their initial quote, and then they'll trap you with the return shipping. I'm so mad at them for wasting my time and trying to rip me off.

eCycleBest Beware of Ecylebest.com: A Complete Scam - My Personal Experience

I really wish I had done my research before doing business with ecyclebest.com. I was hoping to sell my laptop, which was in excellent condition and less than a year old. I sent it off on 09/25/2015 with an initial quote of $240. I knew that the initial quote was subject to change, but I was not prepared for what happened next.

After the inspection was completed, I received an offer email from the company. To my shock and dismay, they offered me only $14 for my device! I was absolutely furious and demanded an explanation. I called the very next morning to speak with their purchasing department and was informed that my laptop would not reboot for them. I knew this was not true, and I was not going to let them get away with it.

I told the representative to send my device back to me immediately because I was not accepting their offer of $14. To my surprise, she then sent me an email offering me $75 for the device. This made me even more suspicious of the company. It seemed like they were just trying to rip me off and give me whatever they wanted to give me, rather than the true value of my device.

I declined their offer of $75 as well and decided to call and email the company for the next 4 days to confirm that my device was really on its way back to me. According to their terms and agreement, you have up to 5 days to deny their offer, and they will send your device back to you. I was not going to take any chances with this company.

In conclusion, I would like to warn others to beware of ecyclebest.com. They seem to be a complete scam, and I would not recommend doing business with them. It's a shame that companies like this exist, but it's important to do your research and protect yourself from being taken advantage of.

eCycleBest Positive Experience Selling Old Laptop on ecyclebest.com: Honest Customer Service and Fair Price

I recently stumbled upon ecyclebest.com and decided to give it a try by selling my old Compaq laptop. According to their website, my laptop was worth $400, which was double its actual value. I was skeptical about the authenticity of the website, so I decided to ask my friend Brian for his opinion. He suggested that I call their customer service to verify their reputation.

I called their helpline and was greeted by a very polite lady who patiently explained the entire process to me. She even warned me that the estimated price on their website was inaccurate due to some technical issues with their software. She suggested that I would only get around $220 for my laptop. I was impressed by her honesty and decided to give it a try.

I sent my laptop in the shipping box provided by ecyclebest.com and called the same helpline lady to confirm the transaction. She assured me that everything was in order and that I would receive my payment within a week.

To my surprise, I received the payment in my PayPal account after just five days. I was happy with the transaction, but after reading some of the negative reviews on this website, I feel lucky that I had a positive experience.

Overall, I would recommend ecyclebest.com to anyone looking to sell their old electronics. Their customer service is excellent, and they offer a fair price for your items. However, it's always a good idea to do your research and verify the authenticity of any website before making a transaction.

eCycleBest Disappointing Experience with eCycle Best: A Cautionary Tale for Second-Hand Gadget Sellers

Me and my brother had two laptops from Dell and two Samsung smartphones that we wanted to sell. We were planning a trip and needed some extra cash, so we decided to sell our gadgets without our parents' permission. We searched the web for authentic second-hand buyers and came across ecyclebest.com. We estimated the cost of our gadgets and were thrilled to find out that we could get a good amount of $800 for them. We were ecstatic and immediately contacted their customer service department.

A lady answered our call and guided us through all the details. We were impressed by their professionalism and decided to send our phones and laptops to eCycle Best through their free shipping box. However, as soon as they received our items, they called us back and told us that our gadgets were in a pathetic condition and that we could only get $330 for all four products. We were taken aback and felt upset and angry.

I suggested to my brother that we should take the amount of money offered to us, as we were minors and didn't want to get into any trouble with our parents. We were disappointed that we only received half the amount of the actual price we had estimated. We don't recommend anyone to contact this company, as they reduce the estimated price to half after receiving the items.

In conclusion, we were disappointed with our experience with eCycle Best. We had high hopes for getting a good amount of money for our gadgets, but we were let down by their assessment of the condition of our items. We advise others to be cautious when dealing with this company and to thoroughly research other options before making a decision.

eCycleBest Scam Artists at work here - don't trust them

eCycleBest.com provided a quote online for a nearly new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 cell phone of $240. The phone was flawless, never scratched, dropped or anything - barely used at all. They provided the label and shipment was quick. Email received that the phone was received and being inspected. A week and a half goes by and I receive an email that the inspection is complete and that my quote has been adjusted to $20. Holy Crap - twenty bucks from $240 - that's a HUGE DIFFERENCE. My strongly worded email to the company and refusal of the $20 quote went unanswered. I never received a follow up email or phone call from the company. I also never received the $20 they said my phone was worth, I provided them with a valid Paypal account.

Another week goes by and I email the company again. This time, I call them crooks and scam artists. I received a phone call the very next morning. Isn't that interesting how they respond to emails that threaten reporting to the BBB and Feds. The rude woman on the phone said that this was quote due to some wear on the back cover (really!?) and "pixelization" on the screen. I refused their claims and asked that my phone be returned to me immediately. She said they could not do that that the phone had been recycled the very next day after my initial quote was provided. Well, first of all, I replied to that quote where I did ask for the phone to be returned. I said why did no one at eCycleBest respond to that email and my request and refusal of the initial quote? She said that they did respond. I said, no you did not. I called them scam artists and that this is not acceptable. She then said that my Paypal account was refused - I said probably because paypal knows you all are crooks and won't accept electronic requests from you all. I asked that they send me a paper check - she said they can send me my original $20 quote and an additional $40 to make up for the relatively new phone I had recycled. Fast forward to today, I received 2 checks -- one for $20 and a second for $20. So much for the $40 they promised, again, CROOKS and SCAM ARTISTS - STAY AWAY!

I have sent them my laptop and they promised to pay me $150 for it.
When they received the laptop they contacted me and said that they made an inspection and that my laptop was completely broken and did not even turn on and said that they'll pay me $15!
Liars! It was not broken!
I told them to give it back and they said that everything they get is non returnable!
And they never even paid me those $15!

eCycleBest They didn't transfer money for the laptop

I wanted to sell my laptop to the company www.ecyclebest.com. They gave me high quote for the laptop and it was really good news. I wanted to send the laptop as soon as possible, but the company told me that they would transfer money within several weeks. It was fine and I really believed that it was legitimate. But it wasn’t. They received my laptop and I didn’t get money. Stay away from them.

eCycleBest Fraud and scam

Please do not send any electronics to this company. They are scam artist, I sent in two devices a MOTO X 2nd GEN and Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and they quoted me $496 for both. Keep in mind both devices are less than a month old and in 9.5 out of 10 condition. It two weeks for them to receive both devices and another week to inspect, the process is very slow. Than I got an email stating they will only offer $53 for both of my devices, just plain old scam artists using bait and switch! I beg everyone DO NOT send anything thing to this company. I fell for it even after reading all of the negative reviews, they should be shut down and put out of business.

eCycleBest For many weeks, I had been trying to get my device back but that were useless efforts in-front of this scam company

They offered me a great price and communicated well before they did not receive my device. After getting my ipad, nothing is fast or has good process or communication. I was offered $202 for an ipad. I called and emailed, but I was told to be patient until the check arrived. It was for $120. For many weeks, I had been trying to get my device back but that were useless efforts in-front of this scam company. I only got $120.

eCycleBest eCycle Best is not trustworthy at all! It uses tricks, tactics, and double-dealing to attain the attention of customers!

This company will quote you a great price. But once they receive your device, they will pay you up to 80% less than what you were quoted regardless the condition of your device. This is their business model. They will not contact you to offer you a lower price. They will just send the payment to you. I received $60 on my $143 quote. Also please keep others aware off from being taken in by their deceptive marketing. Do not use this company!

These websites are a trap. You send them your phone, and once they have it, you are not getting it back under any circumstances. They will pay you 35% of its actual worth. They don't return emails, and it takes long time to get to them...Just spend 5 minutes looking on the websites and you won't believe how these websites can do business...

eCycleBest STAY AWAY from ecyclebest !!

STAY AWAY! They have the whole process set it up in a manner that will leave you with no choice, but to accept their crummy offer. They will email you a customer service number in case you want to reject it (no kidding!). You will be asked to call them within three days of receiving your offer (which you may, or may not receive at all). Ecyclebest lures you into thinking that you are getting an amazing deal, but the truth is that you are not. STAY AWAY! The service, offer and everything about ecyclebest is pretty misleading.

Ecyclebest.com is a complete scam. They quoted me $200 for my iPhone 5 and then, paid me only $75.00. I never received an email notifying me of the price difference. When I called their supposedly "Customer Service", they claimed that it must have gone to my spam folder. When I argued that they had stolen my phone, the person said, "Well, if you're not going to be reasonable, I am going to hang up. Have a nice day." And with that, she just hung up. I am pretty annoyed!

Yes! This was the value put by ecyclebest for my HTC phone which had a single scratch on its screen. I was shocked to see that a single scratch could decrease the value of my phone to this extent. Earlier, they quoted me $100 for the same, but after 2 months I just received $50 as the value. I feel very let down.

I was promised $220 at the time I mailed it in. I was later notified I would receive a check for $98. A total scam! Avoid Ecyclebest at all cost. Unless, of course you don't care about the money or your phone. Simply put, they have bad reputation.

After I followed ALL of their instructions to turn off "Find my iPhone" and mailed the phone to them, they never sent me a check.When I called to inquire about my promised $93.00, a very smug women told me they had emailed me 3 times to turn this feature off.

That I had not turned off this feature, so they just recycled the phone. I did not receive any emails and they were too lazy to call me on the telephone number I had put in my personal information. Then she refused to let me speak to anyone else. Is this a 2 person operation?

Therefore, this company is just a scam and cheats people out of their products.But, I guess this is the Reno Nevada area and everybody knows Nevada is known for stealing your money.

eCycleBest Long wait for payment

, I realized that I needed to let go of my phones because I did not need them anymore. I considered buyback programs, hoping that I could get cash just for getting rid of my old iPhones. I stumbled upon CashforiPhones and received the highest offer I could ever find. I filled out the shipping form and received a free shipping box via USPS the next day. Sadly, it took them almost a month to get back to me for my payment. Though the transaction was easy, it was not surely fast.

eCycleBest Lower payment!

I wasn’t going to pick from my savings but I did want to take her, so I sold an old laptop to eCycle Best. I had it around as a spare, but I knew it would never really be used again. It was still in good condition, so when I got my quote on eCycleBest.com, I couldn't believe it. But I was stupid enough to still send my phone. I filled out everything that required text, gave my information and the condition of the laptop. I read up on the company and went over reviews, which I should’ve done at the beginning really. Though there were plenty of great eCycle Best reviews, there was also a fair amount of complaints about them. I was worried I’d given them my laptop for nothing, but in the end I got my cash in the mail. It took four weeks of worry, but it came.

The transaction process from sending the device to getting my payment took almost a month. They paid me via PayPal, because I knew a mailed check would take time to arrive. Of course I did not get the whole online quote I got from their website. I kinda expected that after reading reviews online. My experience with eCycleBest was not that good.
