The new Electronics Trade-In Store allows consumers to trade in used electronics - regardless of where they were purchased - for Amazon.com Gift Cards. Customers can now trade in electronics, including tablets, cell phones, MP3 players, cameras, GPS devices and more in addition to books, DVDs, Blu-ray discs and video games. The Amazon Trade-In works similarly to other trade-in programs offered by NextWorth, Gazelle and eBay, which launched its program last year. Consumers visit the Amazon website, and if the product is eligible for trade-in, they can print a pre-paid shipping label and ship everything to Amazon for free. After Amazon.com receives and inspects the product, an Amazon.com Gift Card is deposited into the customer's Amazon.com account - generally in less than 48 hours. |
