When you sell your phone to Envirofone Trade, after we have carefully checked and tested the phone and decided on an amount your phone is worth to give back to you, your phone is given a grade. Then, when these phones are sold on our website, this grading helps customers understand the condition of the phone before it arrives at their door. The lower the grade of the phone, the lower the price of the product. We have 7 different grades for our products each with different meanings, and if you don’t understand them they can be tricky to get your head around.

So let’s dive into how we grade our products so the next time you sell some tech, you’ll understand why your phone has been graded the way it has.
