Frequently asked questions — selling your iPhone

Everything about selling your iPhone to Rebooted AU: payment speed, damaged phones, data security, shipping, and quote validity. Can't find your question? Email [email protected].

How long until I get paid?

Once tracking shows your iPhone has arrived at our Brisbane or Sydney facility, we’ll inspect it and send payment within 12 hours. Most transfers go through OSKO and hit your account shortly after.

What if my phone is cracked or faulty?

We still buy it. Choose "Functional / Faults" if the iPhone powers on, then select every issue that applies. Use "Faulty / Dead" only if it is non-functional or severely damaged.

Is shipping really free?

Sending your device to us is free. We email you a prepaid AusPost Express or Parcel label, which you can lodge at Australia Post or use to book a pickup. Return shipping costs $10 for all returns, including if you decline a revised offer.

What happens to my data?

Back up anything you need, sign out of iCloud, turn off Find My, and factory-reset your iPhone before shipping it. Before any device is resold, we erase it with Phonecheck. Phonecheck’s ADISA-certified erasure is built to NIST 800-88 and IEEE 2883; each successful wipe creates a signed certificate of erasure and chain-of-custody record in Phonecheck.

What if your inspection finds something different to what I said?

We’ll email you with a revised offer and photos. Accept it, or decline it and have the device returned after paying the $10 return shipping fee. No pressure and no re-stocking fees.

Do you buy Androids, iPads, or MacBooks?

iPhone-only for now. We’re an iPhone specialist so we can pay more for what we know. iPad and Mac buyback is on the roadmap for late 2026.

How much will I get for my iPhone?

The price depends on your iPhone model, storage capacity, and condition. Use our Get Quote tool to receive an instant quote. Prices are based on current market rates and are valid for 7 days.

What devices do you accept?

We currently accept iPhones from iPhone 11 and newer models. Devices must not be iCloud locked, activation locked, reported stolen, or under any finance agreement.

Do I need to remove my data before shipping?

Yes. Back up anything you need and follow our Device Preparation Guide before shipping, including signing out of iCloud, disabling Find My iPhone, and performing a factory reset. We still run Phonecheck erasure before any device is resold.

What if my device is locked or under contract?

Devices that are iCloud locked, PIN locked, activation locked, or under finance agreements are not eligible. Locked or stolen devices will not be returned and may be reported to authorities.

How long is my quote valid?

All quotes are valid for 7 days from the date of issue. You must ship your device within this timeframe. After 7 days, you’ll need to request a new quote as market prices may have changed.

Can I cancel after I’ve shipped my device?

You can request your device back after shipping by contacting us with your order number. Return shipping costs $10 for all returns, including if you decline a revised offer.

What happens to my device after you buy it?

Before any device is resold, it is erased with Phonecheck and refurbished if needed. A successful Phonecheck wipe creates a signed certificate of erasure and chain-of-custody record in Phonecheck.

Do you buy devices with damage?

Yes! We buy devices with various types of damage including cracked screens, back glass damage, camera issues, battery problems, and more. The quote will be adjusted based on the specific damage reported.

What if my device is water damaged?

We do accept water-damaged devices, but this significantly affects the price. Choose "Faulty / Dead" when getting your quote and tick "Water damaged" so we can give you an accurate offer.

Do I need to include the original box or accessories?

No, you only need to send the iPhone itself. Original boxes, chargers, and accessories are not required and will not increase the offer price.

How do I track my shipment?

Once you ship your device using our prepaid label, you’ll receive a tracking number from Australia Post. You can use this to monitor your package until it reaches us.

What if my device gets lost during shipping?

Risk of loss or damage transfers to Rebooted AU upon receipt by the carrier. Our prepaid labels include tracking and insurance, so your device is protected during transit.

Can I sell multiple devices?

Yes! Simply create a separate quote for each device you want to sell. Each device will be inspected and paid for individually.

Do you charge any fees?

There are no processing fees. The quote you receive is exactly what you’ll be paid when the device condition matches your description, and sending it to us is free. Return shipping costs $10 for all returns, including if you decline a revised offer.

What payment methods do you offer?

Choose a direct bank transfer to an Australian bank account or PayID using your email or mobile number. Once tracking shows your iPhone has arrived, we’ll inspect it and send payment within 12 hours.

Is my personal information secure?

Absolutely. We take data security seriously and implement encryption, secure servers, and strict access controls. View our Privacy Policy for complete details on how we protect your information.
