By accessing, browsing, or using our website, posting an advertisement, or communicating with buyers and sellers, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must refrain from using the platform.

Marketplace Nature and Platform Role

UsedPhone.bd operates exclusively as an online classified advertising platform that connects independent buyers and sellers of mobile phones, tablets, and related accessories in Bangladesh. UsedPhone.bd is not an online store, auction house, retailer, or middleman merchant. We do not manufacture, own, store, inspect, test, or take legal custody of any physical device advertised on the platform.

All sales, negotiations, physical handovers, and monetary transactions take place directly between individual buyers and sellers. Users are entirely responsible for exercising proper diligence, inspecting devices, verifying IMEI legality, and agreeing on payment terms.

User Accounts and Eligibility

To create an account or publish an advertisement on UsedPhone.bd, you must be at least 18 years of age and capable of entering into legally binding contracts under the laws of Bangladesh. When registering, you agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information, and to keep your credentials confidential.

Seller Commitments and Ad Guidelines

Every user who publishes an advertisement on UsedPhone.bd agrees to the following commitments:

  • Lawful Ownership: You warrant that you are the lawful owner of the device or have explicit authorization from the owner to sell it. The listing of stolen, looted, lost, or illegally acquired devices is strictly prohibited and subject to immediate reporting to law enforcement authorities.
  • Accurate Descriptions: All listed specifications, storage capacity, physical condition grades, battery health metrics, and repair histories must be truthful and accurate.
  • Unencumbered Devices: Devices must be free from any active iCloud activation lock, Google Factory Reset Protection (FRP) lock, network carrier blacklist, or outstanding hire-purchase installments.
  • Authentic Photographs: Images uploaded must represent the actual physical handset offered for sale. Misleading stock photos or images copied from third-party websites are prohibited.

Buyer Responsibilities and Due Diligence

Buyers using UsedPhone.bd agree to practice thorough due diligence prior to concluding any transaction:

  • Buyers must insist on an in-person physical inspection of the handset in a secure, high-traffic public location before making any payment.
  • Buyers must independently verify the device IMEI number by dialing *#06# and checking its status through BTRC NEIR channels.
  • Buyers must never transfer advance booking fees, courier deposits, or token money before physically holding and inspecting the smartphone.
  • UsedPhone.bd bears no responsibility for any transactions, agreements, or financial losses arising from a buyer willingly transferring advance funds to any third party.
