Why a platform, not a custom build

A custom trade-in website takes months and costs tens of thousands of pounds before it takes its first order. ReGraded is already built and tested, so you get the same thing in 48 hours for a predictable monthly price, with updates included. See what a trade-in website costs.

What a trade-in site has to get right

Trade-in looks simple from the outside: show a price, send a label, pay the customer. Running one day to day is a different story, and most of the problems are only obvious once you've lived with them.

  • Prices that move Device values change constantly, by model, storage, network and condition. If updating prices is a chore, they drift, and you either overpay or lose customers to whoever priced it right. Prices need to be quick to change and the same everywhere they appear.
  • Grading that customers understand Most disputes start with a customer who believed their phone was "good" and a tester who didn't. Clear condition descriptions at quote stage, and a testing checklist that records exactly what was found, cut the arguments before they start.
  • Revised offers handled fairly When a device arrives in worse condition than described, the customer needs a clear revised offer and a simple choice: accept, or have it sent back. Leave that to email ping-pong and it eats your day.
  • Fast, reliable payment Customers judge you on how quickly they get paid. Payouts need to go out in batches, with failed payments caught and retried rather than discovered when an angry customer gets in touch.
  • Customers kept informed "Has my phone arrived?" is the most common question in trade-in. Automatic updates at every stage answer it before it's asked.

ReGraded was built around those problems, from the experience of running a trade-in business rather than from a feature list. See what a phone buyback website should include.

What your customers get

  • Instant prices for phones, tablets and laptops, with network and condition options.
  • Customer accounts with order tracking and status updates.
  • 28+ branded emails for every stage: quote, label, received, tested, paid.
  • Royal Mail labels generated automatically.
  • A mobile-first journey that works as well on a phone as on a desktop.

What you get behind the scenes

  • One pipeline for online, walk-in and bulk orders.
  • Testing and grading checklists for each device type, editable without code.
  • Batch payouts with failed payments retried automatically.
  • Comparison site feeds that keep your prices in sync.
  • A built-in CMS for your blog, device pages and SEO.
  • White-label branding with a choice of website and email colour schemes.
  • Monitoring, audit trails and encrypted data throughout.

Who it's for

  • Independent phone shops adding trade-in alongside repairs and sales, with walk-in and online trade-ins in one place.
  • Multi-branch operators who want one pipeline and one set of reports across every shop.
  • Online-only buyback businesses that live or die by price accuracy, payout speed and search rankings.
  • Electronics retailers offering trade-in against new devices.
  • Larger ITAD operations that need bulk processing alongside consumer trade-ins.

Getting found

A trade-in site competes with national brands and comparison sites, so it needs more than a quote form. ReGraded includes device pages and a blog you manage yourself, set up for search, so you can build traffic for the models you buy most. Combined with comparison site feeds, that gives you two ways in: customers comparing prices, and customers searching for what their phone is worth.

Get started

See the features, pricing and a live demo site at regraded.co.uk, or ask a question through the ReGraded contact page. If you need trade-in built into an existing system instead, that's API integration work, quoted from a short spec.

Questions

Is it a custom website or a template?

It's your own branded website and customer journey running on the ReGraded platform. You choose the colours, logo, emails and content, but you don't pay for, or wait for, a custom build.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Your site can be set up on a preview address first while you get everything ready, then moved onto your own domain when you're ready to launch.

Are any features held back for higher plans?

No. Every plan gets the full platform. Plans differ by volume, not by features, so a small shop has the same tools as a large operator.

Do I need to be technical to run it?

No. Prices, grading checklists, emails and pages are all edited from the admin without touching code, and I set it up with you at the start.

Can it send my prices to comparison sites?

Yes. Comparison site feeds keep your prices in sync, so the price a customer sees on a comparison site matches the price on your own site.

I need something ReGraded doesn't do. Can you build it?

Tell me what it is. If it's useful to other operators it may go into the platform, and if it's specific to you it can be quoted as custom API integration work.
