Back Market

Back Market was founded in 2014 in Paris, France, and has grown into the world’s leading online marketplace dedicated exclusively to refurbished consumer electronics. The platform connects consumers with certified professional refurbishers who restore used devices to full working condition, grading them based on cosmetic condition and testing them against strict quality criteria. Back Market’s catalog includes smartphones, laptops, tablets, gaming consoles, headphones, smartwatches, and home electronics from brands such as Apple, Samsung, Sony, and many others. Buyers benefit from significant savings of up to 70 percent compared to new prices, a minimum 12-month warranty on all purchases, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Back Market operates in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and over a dozen other countries, giving it a truly global footprint. The company has raised over $1 billion in venture capital funding and consistently ranks among Europe’s fastest-growing tech companies. By emphasizing the quality, reliability, and environmental benefits of refurbished technology, Back Market has played a significant role in normalizing pre-owned electronics purchases among mainstream consumers. Its stringent seller standards, transparent grading system, and robust buyer protection policies set it apart from informal second-hand marketplaces. Back Market also runs trade-in programs and partners with carriers for device financing and connectivity deals.
