Avito launched a service for buying smartphones from users

According to Kommersant, the Avito Internet platform has launched a service for buying smartphones from

users for the purpose of resale.All purchased smartphones will be serviced (if necessary, repairs will be carried out) and put up for sale with a guarantee of three to 12 months. It is specified that the service is aimed at the so-called "sleeping sellers". These are those users who do not want to sell anything to other people on their own for fear of being deceived or miscalculating the price. Avito hopes for the success of the service, as the demand for smartphones within the platform last month grew by 35% in annual terms, and the number of offers in this segment increased by 39% over the year.
