Flipkart has launched a much-needed “Sell Back Program” in India for smartphone users to easily sell their devices. The Walmart-backed e-commerce giant announced the program in the country to reduce the amount of e-waste generated from used smartphones and to help people sell any smartphone, regardless of the brand. Here’s how you can sell your smartphone using Flipkart’s new Sell Back Programme.

Flipkart, via an official press release, reveals that the program allows people to sell their smartphones, be it an Apple device or a Lava device, on Flipkart and get Flipkart Electric Gift Vouchers in return. The gift vouchers can then be used to purchase any product on the e-commerce platform or deduct the voucher amount from the price of a particular product. Flipkart says that the Sell Back Programme is valid for any smartphone model, whether it was purchased from Flipkart or not.

Now, if you want to take advantage of the new Flipkart Sell Back Program, follow the steps below. However, before moving on, it is worth mentioning that the program is currently only available on the Flipkart iOS and Android app. So, we’d suggest you download or update the Flipkart app on your device to access this feature. With that out of the way, let’s get into the steps.

  • Open the Flipkart app on your smartphone. Tap the drawer icon in the middle of the bottom navigation bar. You will see a new “Sell Back” option here.

  • Tap on it to open the “Sell Back Program” page on your device and tap the “Sell Now” option (any one of them) to initiate the process.

  • Now, answer the three given questions that requires you to tell the phone’s brand, IMEI number, and whether or not it switches on for verification.

  • Select your location and agree to the terms and conditions. You will see the value of your used smartphone at the top.

Note: At the time of writing this article, the program was not available at my location, which is in Kolkata.

This way, you can easily sell your used smartphone on Flipkart and invest the acquired amount for your new smartphone or any other product on Flipkart.
