About Back Market
Back Market is a marketplace for refurbished electronics. It doesn't refurbish devices itself: professional refurbishers list phones, laptops, tablets, consoles, smartwatches, audio gear and even home appliances, and Back Market sets the quality rules, handles the storefront and backs purchases with its own promise. Every device comes with a one-year warranty and free 30-day returns, and buyers choose a condition grade that trades cosmetic wear against price. The site also runs a trade-in service where refurbishers bid on your old device, plus optional protection plans and repair guides. Founded in Paris in 2014, it now operates across Europe, the US and Australia. It's a good fit for people who want a recent iPhone, Galaxy or MacBook for well under the new price without the risk of buying from a stranger. Because sellers vary, battery health and packaging can differ between listings, and prices for popular models move often, so it pays to compare grades and sellers before buying.
Best for: Buyers who want refurbished phones or laptops with a warranty and easy returns.
