Trade-in vs Selling Privately — Which Nets You More?
You will usually get slightly more on eBay, but trade-in wins on speed, safety and store credit. Here's the honest maths.
The eBay reality
Final value fees, PayPal fees, packaging, shipping and buyer disputes eat 12–20% of the headline price.
Why trade-in wins
Same-day valuations, no fees, immediate store credit that unlocks discounted upgrade paths.
When private wins
Rare or heavily accessorised kits sometimes clear more privately — we will tell you if that's your situation.
