## 6. Frequently Asked Questions
- **Q: How fast do I get paid when selling my phone at Phone Repair Centre?**
  - **A**: Once our licensed technicians complete a 10-minute bench check at 122 Queen St, St Marys NSW 2760, we transfer your payout immediately via Osko PayID bank transfer or issue an instant +$50 bonus PRC Store Credit voucher.
- **Q: Does Phone Repair Centre pay more than JB Hi-Fi, Mobile Monster, and Apple Trade In?**
  - **A**: Yes. Our buyback pricing engine benchmarks live Australian trade-in offers daily across Mobile Monster and JB Hi-Fi, pays real Osko PayID bank transfer instead of gift-card lock-in or multi-day postal delays, and adds an extra +$50 when you choose PRC Store Credit.
- **Q: How does the +$50 PRC Store Credit upgrade bonus work?**
  - **A**: Choosing PRC Store Credit adds $50 AUD on top of your Osko PayID buyback offer, ready to spend immediately towards any Certified Refurbished iPhone, Samsung, or iPad on phones.prcrepair.com.au or any workshop repair at St Marys.
- **Q: Can I sell a phone with light scratches, frame dent marks, or a minor fault?**
  - **A**: Yes. Step 3 shows our clean 100% working offer upfront, and if you choose to sell, Step 4 adjusts your live payout transparently for light screen scratches, frame dent marks, battery service warnings, or specific hardware faults.
- **Q: Do you buy cracked screen, broken back glass, or faulty iPhones and Samsung phones?**
  - **A**: Yes. Unlike retail trade-in desks that reject damaged handsets or slash values to zero, Phone Repair Centre operates an in-house Level 4 microsoldering and OLED lab with 18+ years of experience in Sydney, allowing us to pay strong Grade C and Faulty buyback rates for cracked screens, broken back glass, camera issues, and charging faults.
- **Q: Why do you pay via Osko PayID instead of physical notes?**
  - **A**: Under NSW Fair Trading Second-Hand Dealers Regulation (Licence 2PS2914401), licensed electronic buyback dealers settle payouts via traceable electronic transfer rather than physical notes. Osko PayID lands directly in your Australian bank account in seconds while you are standing at the St Marys counter.
- **Q: What ID and preparation do I need to bring to the St Marys buyback desk?**
  - **A**: Sign out of Find My iPhone, iCloud, Samsung Account, or Google FRP lock, back up your photos, and bring 100-point Australian photo ID (Driver Licence, NSW Photo Card, or Passport) to our standalone street-front workshop at 122 Queen St, St Marys NSW 2760.
- **Q: Can I sell a phone that is financed, carrier-locked, or blacklisted?**
  - **A**: Every device must be owned outright by you with a clean GSMA/AMTA IMEI status. We run an instant 15-digit IMEI check at our St Marys counter; lost, stolen, iCloud-locked, MDM-locked, or unpaid carrier-encumbered devices cannot be purchased.
- **Q: Is Phone Repair Centre St Marys located inside St Marys Village shopping centre?**
  - **A**: No. Phone Repair Centre St Marys is a standalone street-front workshop located on the main commercial road at 122 Queen St, St Marys NSW 2760 (strictly not inside St Marys Village shopping centre). Street parking is right outside for fast 10-minute buyback drop-offs.
- **Q: How long is my online buyback offer locked for?**
  - **A**: Once you confirm your device condition and verify via SMS in Step 4, your Osko PayID and +$50 PRC Store Credit offer is locked for 48 hours so market movements will not reduce your payout when you visit 122 Queen St, St Marys.
- **Q: Which devices can I sell at Phone Repair Centre Sydney?**
  - **A**: We buy Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max, 18 Pro, 18, iPhone 17 series (17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max), iPhone 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11 and SE, Samsung Galaxy S26, S25, S24, S23 Ultra, Z Fold 7/6/5 and Z Flip 7/6/5, Google Pixel 10/9/8/7, Apple iPad Pro/Air/Mini, Apple Watch Ultra & Series, and Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5 Pro, Slim, Standard) consoles.
- **Q: Do you buy 10+ business, school, or corporate fleet phones in bulk?**
  - **A**: Yes. For 10 to 2,000+ corporate, government, school, or MSP devices, our Enterprise ITAD & Fleet Buyback division provides NIST SP 800-88 certified data destruction certificates per IMEI, MDM de-provisioning support, and direct corporate EFT with a formal RCTI.
