No, not at all! We don't require the original bill — you can sell your phone without any paperwork. Just keep the invoice if you ever plan to claim warranty from the brand in the future.

Our agent will do a 2-minute check when they arrive. → If it matches → you get the full original amount instantly. → If there is extra damage not mentioned → we'll show you a new fair quote on the spot.
