Golden Standard Buybacks Avis 98

Heard about this company and it all worked paid out what hey said highly recommended

SCAM!!! Sent them my phone October 2025 and they haven’t paid me a dime of what I was promised nor have they sent my device back upon request. They continue to say they are backed up and short staffed. Don’t use this company they are liars!!

It has been over three months since Golden Standard Buybacks verified receiving my two i-Phones and despite numerous communications between the two of us; I have not received any payment for my phones. Based on my experience with this company; I would not recommend that anyone consider doing business with Golden Standard Buybacks.

I was paid less than half then their approved amount. I was approved on 10/30/2025 and I was patiently waiting to resolve the issue. I was promised by top management team to get my remaining balance + 5-10% Bonus on 1/23/2026. It was just a false promise. Will NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.
BE CAUTIOUS. IT IS FRADULANT COMPANY.

I had my son’s old phone just sitting around and decided to sell it. This company offered the best price on the market, so I gave them a try. It did take about three weeks to receive my payout, but I received the full amount as promised. They were upfront about being a little backed up due to the holidays, and their communication throughout the process was good. Overall, everything went smoothly, and I definitely recommend

I heard about this company and I decided to try them out good company they paid me what they said great comunicación

I had a phone laying around decided to sell it found this company and went for it good customer service paid a lil late but paid recommend 100%

I had a phone sitting around and figured I’d see what I could get for it. I’m glad I went with this company—communication was clear and consistent, and they were upfront about being busy during the holidays. In the end, everything worked out smoothly. Would absolutely recommend them.

I had an old phone and needed some extra cash, so I decided to give this company a try. Communication was great from start to finish. They did let me know they were a little backed up due to the holidays, but they kept me informed and, in the end, they came through. Overall, a great experience—highly recommend!

Amazing experience! Payment was right on time, the process was quick and easy, and the customer service was outstanding. Very responsive and helpful throughout. Would definitely work with them again!

Great experience overall! The timing on payment was excellent, communication was smooth, and customer service was top-notch. Everything was handled professionally and efficiently. Highly recommend!

This is a scam. They stole my phone, and never paid me. I sent them my phone over 2 months ago. Once they received it they reduced my offer from $200 to $140. They sent me a video of a scratched phone with a poor battery health, but luckily AI told me to take videos of my phone before I sent it in. I showed them the videos I took, and they apologized and offered me full $200. Then weeks passed without a response. They keep on telling me they’re going to pay me, but never do. I never write reviews, but feel like the online community should know that this business is illegitimate and may steal your phone like they did mine.

There were unforseen issues that came up with the phone. I can say though that when I reached out to the company, they were always very responsive. In the end I am extremely satisfied with the experience. They were very professional and worked through our issues. In my mind, it sometimes says more about the character of a company who works through issues than one where everything goes smoothly.

They have had my iPhone since October 16, 2025. To this point I have received $301 dollars. The agreed upon amount for the trade in was for $701. Have contacted them numerous times via email, text, phone calls, and online chats about the remaining amount that I am owed. I think they must screen the calls because it is very difficult to call the number of the business and to have someone pick up. Was told by different people that I will be paid by a certain date. Those dates have come and gone and I have not been paid. Even if this company offers the most for your trade in, I would recommend taking less from a more reputable company. It has now been over four months and I still have not received the additional payment. Have been told probably ten times that they are waiting on a transfer and then I would be paid. Finally got the rest of the money last week. Crazy experience

Very poor experience however unlike some of the recent reviews I did get paid. Sold a mint iphone 14PM on 12/1 for $480. After hearing nothing for a month I was told they found scratches on the screen and frame and reduced the price by $100. Pretty interesting since the phone always had a cover and case on both but I accepted it as I wanted to get it paid and closed.

Took another several weeks of me threatening them with filing for theft with the local PD and the Texas Attorney General. Many of their responses were along the lines of 'we've been out of the office let me check on that' with no follow up as well as telling me they were short staffed and having unexpected losses in their office.

Eventually they made a partial payment with a promise to pay the balance the next day. When that didn't happen they admitted they were waiting on their next 'scheduled transfer' which I took to mean they didn't have any cash and were waiting for their next infusion. Jacob offered to pay me out of his pocket or I could wait another five days. I told them I wanted it closed immediately, and five days later I got paid.

So not a scam per se, but a poorly run company I wouldn't do business with.

We had a few bumps along the way from the holidays and low staffing but they were able to get me in contact with someone and issue my payment the same day! Very grateful for their help and a great way to sell a phone

I received quotes from Golden Standard Buybacks. Sent 4 phones to them in July of 2025. Still have not received full payment. I have a VERY long chat transcript of multiple excuses and broken promises. Only after reading fellow customer reviews on Trustpilot did I realize that this company was fraudulent and I would never receive my full payment.
***DO NOT USE OR TRUST THIS COMPANY!!!!!***

I sent them my phone over three months ago. They never paid me and have not returned the phone after multiple requests. Thank goodness it's an iPhone and I had it covered. I had to report it stolen. Also filing a complaint with the McAllen, Tx (where they are located) police department. Always an excuse but nothing but a scam.

I sent my Iphone 12 proMax to this company and they told me they received it on November 3rd 2025. They sent a reply to my email in the first 2 weeks but has stopped communications. They have not paid and has not returned my phone. I will advise people not to send their phones to this company.

Offered more for my iphone than any of their competitors. Sent my phone. They confirmed delivery. When I asked for a status update they told me some sob story about being backed up. Ghosted me thereafter. No responses, no payments. Avoid
