I just used Cellswapper and the process is not as easy as it sounds. What buyers don't realize is that in addition to assuming the terms of your contract, they have to sign an additional 11-month contract. When they realize this, they immediately back out of the transfer and you've already paid the non-refundable $18.95 "success" fee. Cellswapper was unable to find me any buyers and in the end I had to pay the ETF in addition to the Cellswapper "success" fee.

I just moved to Hoboken New Jersey. I read this article and Kent German's article many months ago regarding celltradeusa. After calling my provider recently "Verizon Wireless" to tell them that I have no service in my new town in New Jersey they told me that I was still in a contract because they had service in NJ just not in my town "lol". I decided to give celltradeusa a try. I joined for free and waited. I received a few responses pretty quickly so I paid the fee to unlock the messages. 2 of the 3 people that wanted it didn't pass credit check and the other didn't respond. Now that I paid for the service I decided to get pro active. I posted my ad on njville.com and craigslist.com directing them back to my celltrade listing. I ended up passing it off to a fella I met on NJville Took a little bit but it was absolutely worth the effort. I now have my new phone that works in my new town

I would say leasetrader.com is a rip off and do not use them. Here is my personal experience.

I went to www.leasetrader.com and located 3 cars in my geographical area that I thought would be good candidates. The website gives you the VIN #, the mileage, the length of time owned and everything about the car, short of who to contact regarding the lease take over.

The only way you can get the owner’s contact information is to pay a membership fee. I paid the membership fee of 39.95, and then called the 3 owners. All three cars had been sold or transferred, one car had been transferred as long ago as May. The information on the website is severely outdated.

I called leasetrader.com to ask for a refund, at 800, 770-0207. They gave me the run around stating that it’s not their fault their website has obsolete information. NO REFUNDS.

I disagree. If Ebay has an item listed, it MUST be available for a buyer, if the seller decides to pull the item, or has sold it outside, Ebay updates their website to reflect this in real time.

I feel that leasetrader.com is unethical and has poor business practices. Forty dollars is not a large sum of money, but it is wrong for them to have falsely advertised items to lure potential customers (potential leasers) into paying a usage fee, when they do not have the product advertised.

Regards,
