Back Market

Established in 2014, Back Market is a platform that connects a rising number of sophisticated electronics repair businesses and manufacturers across the globe with customers. Quentin Le Brouster started the back market in Paris.The platform’s transparent grading system considers both the physical appeal and technical quality of each specific piece of equipment. Every gadget on this site is believed to be fully functioning — “technical condition” refers to the product’s durability based on its refurbisher’s operations and historical quality data. Clients can choose products among three well-defined criteria depending on their requirements.Before selling on Back Market, all refurbishers must pass a screening procedure. Each new refurbisher must demonstrate that their operations and quality methods are up to par to receive the Back Label and sell on their marketplace. They monitor them to ensure that the quality remains consistent.The back market allows customers to make purchases online in various ways. Clients pay through Visa and MasterCard but not bank transfers, checks or cash. The platform also accepts Paypal if supplied by the seller.
