Selling iPhone to a Buyer vs Facebook Marketplace — Which Is Better?

Updated 2026

Facebook Marketplace is tempting — you see listings for $300, $400, even $600. But is listing on FB actually better than selling to TechITAZ directly? Let's break it down honestly.

Price: FB Can Pay More, But Not Always

On FB Marketplace, you'll list at retail resale price — typically 10–20% more than what TechITAZ pays. But what you list for and what you actually get are very different things.

Time: FB Takes Much Longer

MethodTime to Cash
TechITAZSame day
Facebook Marketplace (realistic)3–14 days
eBay7–21 days + shipping

The Real Trade-Off

If you value your time and want cash today, TechITAZ wins. If you're willing to spend 1–2 weeks handling messages, lowball offers, no-shows, and safety concerns — FB Marketplace can net 10–15% more.

💡 The sweet spot: use FB Marketplace for phones under $100 (not worth our processing time or your drive). For anything worth $150+, TechITAZ gets you cash today without the hassle.
