SellCell Editorial Policy

SellCell Editorial Policy

At SellCell, trust and transparency sit at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re reading one of our news articles, reviewing survey insights, or comparing phone trade-in prices, we want you to feel confident that the information is accurate, accessible, and unbiased.

Expert Writers

1. Experienced Writers & Editors

All of our writers have at least 10 years of experience in technology, consumer products, or money-saving fields. Their expertise ensures that every article is reliable, informed, and practical. Writers draft the first version of content, which is then thoroughly reviewed by our Editor at Large, Sarah McConomy, before publication.

Sources & References

2. Independent, Transparent Data

Our data and insights are produced by SellCell’s Stats & Development Team, led by Andrew Jackson. We clearly reference sources, cite methodology, and present all pricing and buyer data fairly and openly, always listed from highest to lowest.

Vetted Partners

3. Vetted Buyers & Merchants

Every merchant featured on SellCell goes through a rigorous onboarding process, including:

  • Background checks
  • Company verification
  • Credit checks

Only trusted, reliable merchants are listed, so readers can feel confident using our comparison tools. You can see more information about how our service works here: https://www.sellcell.com/terms/

Surveys

4. Surveys & Methodologies

We only partner with independently vetted providers such as OnePoll or SurveyMonkey when running surveys. This ensures that all findings are accurate, independent, and representative.

Originality & Integrity

5. Originality & Integrity

All content is human-written and thoroughly fact-checked. While we may use modern research tools, every article is crafted, edited, and approved by our editorial team. We also use plagiarism detection tools such as Copyscape to ensure originality and integrity.

Editorial Process

6. Our Editorial Ethos

Our goal is to make the user journey as simple as possible. Information should always be one click away, easy to find, and clearly explained. We support this with:

  • Comprehensive FAQs
  • Transparent explanations of our data-gathering methods. (Our data / article methodologies are always clearly cited where appropriate at the bottom of our  articles)
  • Articles written in plain English, designed to help readers save money and make informed choices
Earned Media

7. Earned Mentions Only

Any external links to SellCell come from official press or media outlets that value our research and insights. We do not buy or force links—mentions are earned naturally. You can see our earned press here: https://www.sellcell.com/press/

Pricing

9. Pricing Transparency

All pricing on SellCell is taken directly from the live data feeds of our accredited buyers. These feeds are refreshed every minute to ensure the prices listed on our comparison site are accurate, up to date, and representative of the market.

The SellCell team works hard to ensure that phone and tech configurations are aligned as closely as possible across our listings, making it easy for users to compare offers and place a trade-in order seamlessly.

Please note: all trade-in orders are completed on our partners’ websites, not on SellCell directly.

Our editorial principles extend to all SellCell social media accounts. Posts, commentary, and shared content:

  • Are created and approved by our editorial or communications team.
  • Follow the same accuracy and transparency standards as our main site.
  • Reference sources when sharing data, surveys, or third-party research.
