Amazon UK ends Trade-In program that no one seemed to know about
Amazon has announced that it is ending its Trade-In program in the UK. What's that? You didn’t know about it? You're not alone, and this could well be part of the reason for the closure; it was hardly a well-advertised operation.
As you'd guess from the name, the Trade-In program gave people the option to exchange games, consoles, accessories, and books they no longer wanted for Amazon gift cards. Very little notice has been given as the program is set to close on 31 August 2015. If you are one of the people who has been making use of Amazon Trade-In, you need to act quickly so you don’t miss out on your earnings.
Amazon has not explained why the program is closing down, but in its announcement the company informs users that they might like to consider becoming an Amazon seller to get rid of their unwanted goods. In an announcement on its Trade-In pages, Amazon says:
Amazon.co.uk’s Trade-in programme will be closed from Monday, 31 August, 2015. Please submit your trade-ins by Monday, 31 August, 2015 and post them to us by Monday, 7 September, 2015. For full details and other options for selling your items on Amazon.co.uk please see our Frequently Asked Questions.
The clock is ticking. If you have outstanding trade-ins, make sure you have them posted back in time.
