Online retail giant Amazon.com announced that it has launched an electronics trade-in store, a program allowing customers to trade in their used electronics for Amazon gift cards.
Starting Wednesday
, shoppers can trade in electronics including tablets, cellphones
, MP3 players and GPS devices
, regardless of where the products were originally purchased. Before shipping their electronics to Amazon
, participants in the program have to verify that their product is part of the program and select whether the item is in like-new
, good or acceptable condition.
After the product is received and inspected, an Amazon.com gift card will be deposited into the customer's Amazon.com account, usually in less than 48 hours
, the company said.
The electronics trade-in store expands the company's existing trade-in program
, which includes textbooks and video games.
