Happy with my purchase and the speed of deliveries. The only negative is my counter offer for my sale didn’t come with clear rationale to explain why it was £14 less than estimated. It said ‘click to... See more

Phone stopped working after 3 months and support do not help
Phone which was sold as unlocked stopped working after 3 month, required an MCK code which support were not willing to provide and they also take ages to reply.
Back Market Trade-in is a scam
Back Market Trade-in is a scam. I sent my item to the address provided, and I still haven’t been paid. No one has responded to my messages. Please don’t trade in your stuff
I wouldn’t even give this company 1…
I wouldn’t even give this company 1 star but had to in order to comment. They have failed to deliver a phone which I have paid for and will not respond to my messages. It’s like talking to a brick wall. So I m almost £600 out of pocket, no phone and seemingly there is nothing I can do about it and no one is interested in helping.
Bought an iPhone and an iPod…
I have bought an iPhone and an iPod before and I will use them again. I bought the iPhone as a grade C and to be honest there was nothing wrong with it. I saw no marks or scratches on anything, and the price was definitely cheaper.
BackMarket customer service
I've bought phones from BackMarket in the past and they've been delivered, been as described and worked fine, but if something is wrong with the phone like with my most recent purchase, then god help you! Customer service is nothing but polite platitudes and they're incapable of resolving any issues. Their response times are 24 hours between each communication and each time it will be someone different telling you of their heartfelt regret that you're having a problem. If you request help they'll take a day or two to reply, usually asking you a further question, which they then take another day or so to reply to. Then they refer the matter to the phone refurbished who will also take a day or so to reply and then Backmarket reply to you a day or so later....you get the idea.
Their 'real time' chat tool is absolutely not that. It just sends your message to a queue and you'll maybe get a reply in a day or so. If you need a prompt solution to anything, it will be one on the most frustrating and uncontrollable things you'll ever do!
I am so far 13 days into trying to get a phone replaced and I've just had a message from them that will delay things for another day or so!
So, if you receive a good phone from them or you are in absolutely no hurry, then all is fine, if you receive a bad phone or hit a problem then you'll rue the day you ever heard the name BackMarket. I for one will never use them again.
SCAM
I am extremely disappointed by their services. I ordered a phone that was meant to arrive two days ago and it still hasn't been dispatched. Even more than that, there has been absolutely 0 communication about what is happening. 1. That is a lot of money for something I am not even certain will arrive and 2. it is rare somebody orders a phone without needing it imminently. I have been without a phone for far too long when I could have just gone to CEX and got one immediately without this whole song and dance. I am hoping this issue will be resolved ASAP and compensation offered.
Really pleased with my iphone and I…
Really pleased with my iphone and I also got some money back for my old phone - excellent - couldn’t be better!
Great Quality & Value
Great product, delivering everything that was promised, at a great price. The place to go for used phones and tablets.
Fantastic site.
Arrived on time. Great phone. Condition was like new. Will always buy from them from now on.
Beware of Scammers using Back Market
I've never heard of Back Market before and yet on 01/02/2026 I received an email in my junk telling me I'd purchased a £150 digital gift card (which I hadn't) - no method of payment - I just ignored it and treated it as spam. Then yesterday I received my Amex statement and I'd been charged £150 by Back Market. I've immediately disputed it with Amex but I have absolutely no way of contacting Back Market, other than by opening an account - which I'm obviously not going to do. How do I get answers? I want to know what the scam is and how they got hold of my Amex card number - I only physically use Amex by Apple Pay. How do I speak to a real person at back Market (not a bot) without an account?
