EchtVerdient rating

What public experiences say about rebuy.

A convenient way to offload media and electronics when your time matters more than the last euro.

Overall4 of 5 categories · 7 sources · as of 16 Oct 2026

  1. Payouts

    Does the money arrive reliably and on time?

    Moderate evidence

    Many reports say the money arrives a few days after sending, at the stated amount; the bank credit takes 2 to 7 working days according to the provider. Criticism mostly concerns prices lowered after inspection and isolated cases of slow refunds.

  2. Time value

    What's left per hour once screen-outs, searching and waiting count?

    Not enough data

    Instead of a value of time: scanning, packing and shipping take time; for books the amounts per item are often very small. A documented time or hourly value is missing.

  3. Task supply

    Is there regularly something to do in Germany?

    Thin evidence

    Books, CDs, DVDs, games and electronics are accepted, but not everything and often only at low prices; clothing is not accepted.

  4. Getting started

    How high are the hurdles to get going?

    Moderate evidence

    A quick price check by barcode or search, free shipping, no fees, payout by bank or PayPal; no ID needed.

  5. Fairness & support

    How fair are bans, rejections and support?

    Moderate evidence

    Good aggregate scores (Trustpilot 4.5, apps 4.7 to 4.8), but smaller portals and consumer advisers describe price corrections after inspection, rejection without reasons and discarded items.

What people often praise

  • Price check up front, free shipping
  • No fees
  • Very good aggregate scores
  • Payout by bank or PayPal

What people often criticise

  • Final price only after inspection
  • Usually less than a private sale
  • Books often bring only cents
  • Rejection possible without a reason
Heads-up
  • Not an income: you only sell your own things, usually below market price.
  • Photograph the condition and accessories before sending; price corrections after the fact are documented.

How the rating is made: we read public reviews, experience reports and tests and summarise them in our own words. We can't verify whether individual reviews on those platforms come from genuine users; the platforms themselves are responsible for that. Commissions have no influence on the rating.

Facts with sources

What the provider and reports actually say.

Every item has a source and a date. Where sources contradict each other, we show the conflict instead of picking the nicer number.

Type of money
Sale proceeds for your own media (books, CDs, DVDs, games) and electronics at the buyer's fixed price. Not pay for your time, not savings. No clothing. ↗
Fees and shipping
No fees and free shipping according to the provider (Trustpilot profile text); free pickup from 10 EUR item value according to the affiliate programme text. ↗
Pricing
The displayed price is provisional; rebuy sets the final price after receiving the goods (WDR). If it differs, you get a counter-offer; according to a terms summary from the earlier research round, you have 14 days to decide. ↗
Payout
Bank transfer, PayPal or voucher; 10 % bonus on vouchers; bank credit 2 to 7 working days after the instruction. ↗
Effort
Capture items by barcode or search, pack them, use a parcel label or book a pickup. For books the amounts per item are often very small; one report cites 5.88 EUR for a DVD box that later sat in the shop at 40.99 EUR. ↗
Notes from the consumer advice centre
Consumer advice centre: buy-back portals usually pay less than a private sale; platforms may often reject products without giving a reason; problems with late payouts or goods not returned are reported. ↗
Trustpilot
4.5 out of 5 from 46,285 reviews (snapshot 2026-03-28; a year earlier 37,380). The reviews cover buying and selling mixed. ↗
App ratings
Apple App Store 4.8 from 46,516 and Google Play 4.7 from 58,810 reviews (as of 2026-10-11, according to trusted.de); they rate the app as a whole. ↗
