  5. At this point it will ask you to log in if you have an account,  if you don’t have an account, you will be asked to create  an account at this point
  6. After logging in,  it should take you to the shopping cart, where you then select the condition of the device you are trading in (When selecting the condition, make sure you’re honest because the items will be inspected upon receipt. You will be paid for the items that meet or exceed the product eligibility criteria. So if your Kindle has scratches but you select like new, value will be adjusted as appropriate at that point you have two options, they can return the item back to you, or you can opt to get credit for what it’s actually worth.)
