Percentage illustration
The fee moves with the value.
A percentage-based fee grows as the total value of received devices grows. The exact rate, service and validation rules depend on the agreement concerned.

A different comparison model
A fairer fee model can leave more room in every offer.
Consumers compare for free. Recyclers pay one flat £5 fee only when a referred device is successfully received, with no paid ranking and no percentage taken by us from the seller.

The commercial model, plainly stated
One published fee. One completed outcome.
Comparison businesses can be funded through percentage commissions, lead fees or validated outcomes. Sell Any Mobile uses one simple rule: £5 only when a recycler successfully receives a referred device.
Sell Any Mobile
The fee stays fixed at £5.
The same fee applies whether the received device is worth £50 or £500. Clicks, unfinished enquiries and unreceived devices do not create this fee.

Change the volume, value and rate yourself.
The calculator compares the same number of successfully received devices. It does not assume that any other platform uses a particular rate or validation model.
Illustrative fee comparison
Put the same received volume through both examples.
In this illustration, the difference is £750 less under the flat fee.

What this means for consumers
Compare the market without paying the comparison.
A lower, predictable acquisition cost can leave recyclers more commercial room, but it does not guarantee that every recycler raises every price. The useful proof is the live comparison for the exact device in your hand.
- No consumer comparison charge
- No Sell Any Mobile deduction
- No account needed to search

What this means for recyclers
Commercial cost follows a completed result.
Recyclers can understand the platform fee before publishing an offer. Sell Any Mobile does not charge its £5 fee for a click, an abandoned journey or a device that never arrives.
Predictable
One flat received-device fee, regardless of the quoted device value.
Connected
Current prices can be supplied through the supported technical or affiliate route.
Outcome based
The commercial event is a successfully received referred device.
Independence in practice
No recycler can buy our favour.
Paying the platform fee does not buy an endorsement, a preferred place or more favourable treatment in comparison results. The commercial connection and the comparison outcome are separate.
Each recycler remains an independent business with its own prices, terms, inspection standards and service. Sell Any Mobile helps people compare, then makes the handover clear.
Read our operating principlesHonest about data
We collect what the service genuinely needs. We do not sell personal data.
Search and technical data help the platform operate. Form details let us respond to a chosen enquiry, and some specific services clearly explain when contact details will be shared with relevant recyclers.
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, and we do not use it for unrelated third-party marketing.
Read the Privacy PolicyPurpose explained
The reason for collecting information is stated where it is provided.
No personal data sale
Personal information is not treated as a product for sale to third parties.
UK data rights
Access, correction, deletion and other rights are explained through our legal centre.
Before a recycler is listed
Applications are reviewed, not switched on automatically.
Every application is reviewed for business identity, consumer standards, website quality, technical capability and operational fit. Listing begins only after the relevant checks, connection and commercial terms are complete.
That review does not turn an independent recycler into Sell Any Mobile or guarantee every future service outcome. It creates a clearer threshold for participation and a route for concerns to be monitored.
Review the listing processQuestions about the difference
The commercial model should not need decoding.
Six direct answers about fees, ranking, responsibility and what a verified recycler means here.
Read every platform FAQNo. Searching, comparing recycler offers and choosing where to continue are free for consumers. Sell Any Mobile does not deduct a fee from the price a recycler offers you.
A received-device fee ties our income to a completed, verifiable outcome. A recycler is not charged by Sell Any Mobile simply because someone viewed an offer, clicked a result or began an enquiry.
No. Each independent recycler controls its own prices and commercial decisions. A predictable flat fee can leave more room in the economics of an offer, but the only reliable way to judge value is to compare the live prices available for your exact device.
No. A recycler cannot buy preferential placement, a favourable ranking or an endorsement from Sell Any Mobile. The same £5 received-device fee applies regardless of the recycler or the value of the device.
No. Sell Any Mobile is a comparison channel, not a buyer, recycler, payment provider, postal operator or inspection service. The recycler you choose handles the sale under its own terms.
It means the recycler application has been reviewed for business identity, consumer standards, website quality, technical capability and operational fit. Recyclers remain independent businesses responsible for their own prices, terms and service.
