The definitive guide to secondhand shopping on Galaxus and Digitec

created on 10.10.2023

Stopped using a product you bought from Galaxus or Digitec? Instead of letting it gather dust, how about selling it in our secondhand section? Read on to find out how.

We probably all have things at home that we’ve used once, then cast aside – a neglected game console, a never-used-again pressure cooker, an old TV missing a streaming app. These aren’t just things that other people might really enjoy – they’re also worth money.

Get selling in just a few clicks

Your secondhand product will then appear as «used» in our online shops. In addition, discounted products from Digitec or Galaxus that customers have ordered, opened and returned are listed as «Used + tested».

Millions of potential buyers for your old phone

Clocking in over 20 million visits per month, Digitec and Galaxus’s reach makes the shops attractive places to sell. Not only that, but over two million people living in Switzerland shop at the online market leader at least once a year. Plus, all existing warranty services are transferred to the product’s new owner.

Galaxus and Digitec take a commission for the service, which is calculated based on the selling price. However, there are no fees for publishing an ad online. Here’s the rest of the small print.

Sellers can set any selling price, or go with the price our system suggests. You can choose to keep the selling price the same or gradually reduce it over the bidding period until it reaches a given minimum. In auctioneering circles, this is known as a Dutch auction. As long as you haven’t already sold your product, you can delete the ad at any time.
