Deductions
Sold my iMac and was happy with price quoted after an honest assessment of my machine. Once they received it, they deducted £30 for not including a mouse and keyboard. Nowhere on the iMac page or quote process does it say that these need to be included. And assumed that this would be ok as i was just selling them an “iMac”, not an ‘iMac and keyboard and mouse’. Even the greeting image on their iMac page is just an iMac, and nothing else. I reluctantly accepted the price, but recommended they updated their website to be more clear on this (not just a part in the FAQ section about including accessories, which is open to interpretation). A week has now gone by and no update has been made to the website, so this negative review has been submitted.
Edit after reply:
It’s a shame that my email containing my disappointment and recommendation was not even acknowledged (like the thorough reply below), as we wouldn't be here. I did read the grading, though when i reached the grade i honestly thought my iMac was, i read the next grade on, then i didn't read further, why would i? Upon checking again, The keyboard and mouse information is further down, perhaps that should be at the top, as its relevant to all grades? I was aware of being able to receive it back for free, however your one of the only recyclers paying for older iMacs, and had i have known the money to be received would now be so low, I probably wouldn't have bothered.

Antwort von Macback
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry you were disappointed by the deduction and appreciate you taking the time to explain your experience.
To clarify, our grading page clearly states:
“All items are to be supplied with a UK keyboard and iMacs and items using external peripherals must be supplied with an official Apple keyboard and mouse to avoid payment deduction.”
In addition, during the quote process, when selecting the grading option, clicking the “i” information icon shows this requirement in bold, stating:
“iMacs must include the original keyboard and mouse to avoid a payment deduction.”
Because the keyboard and mouse were not included with the iMac, a standard deduction was applied. This relates specifically to the accessories required for resale, rather than the condition of the computer itself.
We do understand your point about visibility and appreciate the suggestion to make this even clearer earlier in the quote journey. Feedback like this is genuinely helpful and is reviewed as part of our ongoing improvements.
You were, of course, under no obligation to accept the revised offer and could have had the iMac returned free of charge. Once the revised price was accepted, payment was processed as agreed.
Thank you again for sharing your feedback — it helps us continue improving our service and communication.

Decent company and experience
Happy with my experience with macback and the quote. Probably could have made a little more money if I sold privately but it comes with risks and I have already been scammed before. I like that you don't need to worry about post/packaging although like a previous review mentioned, it would be nice for a little email update of some sorts to let you know they have received your laptop and it is being tested. That being said they did provide info with their email quote on how to go on their website and see updates for yourself. I did end up emailing them to make sure everything was okay and they replied quickly and eased my mind. Received my payment a couple of days after they received my laptop. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to sell their laptop without worry.

Best Mac resale service - 10/10
I've used MacBack twice now and wouldn't shop around for another selling service. They arrive with a padded case for your device, and give substantially more than any other service. They even upgraded my MacBook Pro from a B grade to A grade which gave me another £20. 10/10 across the board, thank you.

Slight delay in collection but this was due to DPD not MacBack. Once with them their quote was honoured and paid within 24hrs. Very good service and the motto is be honest about the condition of what you are selling and all will be fine. I would not hesitate to use them again

Got what was quoted, fast and easy pick up
Got a quote for my mum's old iMac and ultimately got what was quoted initially. Pickup and packaging was very smooth, don't think I have ever had such a fast pick up with safe packaging as well.
Some small suggestions to make the service even better:
- More notifications estimations on time between stages. After pick up it was quiet and I wasn't even sure if the computer got received. After contacting the support, I got fast confirmation that it was received in the queue to be assessed. I think better notifications or guidelines on time for each stage in the process would help people understand what to expect
- Offer the ability to give the money to charity at a higher evaluation amount. We ended up donating the money to a homeless shelter but it would be cool if it was integrated into the platform and incentivized to donate for a slightly higher evaluation on the computer.
Overall, good experience and would use them again if we need to donate more old Macs.

Thank you for the fantastic and thoughtful review! We’re really pleased to hear your mum’s iMac was paid at the full quoted amount and that the pickup and packaging experience stood out as particularly smooth and secure.
We really appreciate your suggestions too — clearer stage-by-stage notifications and guidance on expected timelines is great feedback and something we’re actively looking at improving. Your idea around integrating charitable donations is also a brilliant one, and we love hearing how customers choose to give old Macs a positive second purpose.
Thanks again for taking the time to share such constructive feedback. We’d be very happy to help again in the future.

I'll donate it for free
I had 2 MacBook Pros: one was a 2013 working perfectly apart from a broken retina screen, and another was a mid-2015 working but beginning to have problems due to system updates. On the website they offered £9 and £36, so I sent it to them. After they got it (the collection service really works well ) the revised offer was £3 and £9. Honestly, for me, it seems like they make an offer – already low, but ok since you're not using it anymore – and after they'll give you a few pounds, so you will accept it since they already have the devices. I'm refusing to be part of this "strategy", and I highly recommend you do the same or be prepared because they will offer 1/3 or 1/4 for the first quote!
20. Januar 2026

Antwort von Macback
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry you were disappointed with the revised valuations, but we’d like to clarify why the offers changed after inspection.
For the 2013 MacBook Pro, the original quote was based on specifications entered online that did not match the device received. The quote was submitted as:
i5 2.8GHz, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
However, the device we received was actually:
i5 2.5GHz, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD
That difference in specification alone had a significant impact on the valuation.
For the 2015 MacBook Pro, although it was initially quoted as a Grade D, our technicians found additional faults that required it to be regraded to Grade E, including:
High battery cycle count
Swollen battery (requiring immediate replacement)
Non-Apple power supply
Damaged keyboard
These issues go beyond normal cosmetic wear and materially affect both safety and resale value, which is why the offer was adjusted.
We want to be clear that we don’t operate any kind of “strategy” to reduce prices after collection. Quotes are always honoured when the model, specification, and condition match what was submitted online. When they don’t, we explain the reasons and give customers the choice to accept or decline. You were under no obligation to proceed.
As with all customers, if a revised quote isn’t accepted, the devices are returned free of charge, and we absorb all costs associated with shipping, testing, and handling.
We appreciate you acknowledging that the collection process worked well, and we’re sorry the final outcome wasn’t what you hoped for.

I sold my old Mac computer back for…
I sold my old Mac computer back for around £100 only to receive an email a few days later saying they would only pay £30. When queried, they said it was faulty but I disagreed as it was in perfect working condition dispute its age. I asked them to review, but they refused. I would be very apprehensive about this company as my senses indicated they tried to deceive me. Be careful please.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We’re sorry that the outcome of your trade-in was not what you had hoped for, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation for anyone reading this.
All trade-in quotes on our website are provisional, based on the information selected during the initial self-assessment. Once a device is received, it is professionally tested by our technicians to confirm its condition and functionality. If faults are identified that were not declared at the quoting stage, a revised valuation is issued strictly in line with our published grading criteria.
In this case, during inspection, a well-documented display fault common to older iMacs was identified, which significantly impacts resale value. This resulted in the device being graded accordingly and a revised offer being issued.
We would also like to be clear that valuations are never increased or adjusted in response to pressure, threats, or potential negative reviews. As stated in the customer’s own correspondence, they indicated that if a higher figure was not offered they would “spend the next three months adding negative 1-star reviews” and attempt to cause reputational harm.
While we always remain respectful and professional, we cannot — and do not — alter valuations under such circumstances. All customers are treated equally, using the same criteria and process.
Importantly, customers are never obligated to accept a revised quote. Where a valuation is declined, the device is returned free of charge, with all inspection, shipping, and handling costs covered by us. At no point is the customer financially disadvantaged for choosing not to proceed.
We understand how disappointing revised valuations can be, but we remain committed to fairness, transparency, and consistency for everyone who uses our service.
