A less awkward way to sell
The value is in the microwave, not the message thread.
Private marketplaces can work, but they often involve writing an advert, answering similar questions several times, arranging viewings and dealing with uncertain buyers. Zarax gives you a single route from the first description through to inspection and payment.
The process is deliberately straightforward. Share accurate information and clear photographs, then we can decide whether the item is something we want to buy. Read how a Zarax quotation progresses before you begin if you would like the full picture.
What shapes the offer
Six details help turn your microwave into a realistic valuation.
A precise model matters, but it is only one part of the assessment.
Capacity and power rating
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Heating, turntable and controls
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Brand, model and age
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Interior, door seal and accessories
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Faults, marks and working condition
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
An honest description helps avoid surprises when the item is inspected. Our guide to how condition can influence an offer explains why small details are worth including.

A managed route for selling your microwave.
Describe it
Add the exact model, specifications, condition and clear photographs.
Discuss the quote

Inspect and pay

Before the handover
Prepare the item without making the job bigger than it needs to be.

Clean the item enough for its condition, labels and fittings to be assessed.
02
Photograph every side, the model label, accessories and any visible wear.
03
Keep loose parts, cables and accessories together.
If the item needs to be sent, use the private instructions we provide and follow our packaging guidance. Do not send anything until Zarax has confirmed that it wishes to proceed.
Compare the routes

- Potential negotiation with several people
- You arrange the handover
- Platform and payment rules may apply

Customer feedback
Real experiences from people who sold their microwave through Zarax.
The microwave was working, clean and surplus to requirements. Zarax checked the model and paid after receiving it.
I included the wattage, internal dimensions and photos of a small chip near the door. Zarax reviewed the request, gave delivery instructions and sent the agreed payment after inspection.
We ended up with two microwaves after combining households, and the older one was still perfectly serviceable. I cleaned it, photographed the inside and model plate, and mentioned a small enamel chip near the door frame. Zarax assessed the details before confirming interest. I packed it with more padding than seemed necessary, sent it to the provided location and received payment once the inspection was complete.
The spare microwave left the utility room and the shelf can finally hold something we use. Small victory. 🙂
The glass plate, roller ring and rack were all present. Only the faded lettering on two controls showed how long we had owned it.
Our fitted kitchen came with a microwave, leaving the countertop model boxed in the garage. It worked reliably but had a slightly loose door trim and no instruction booklet. I sent the wattage, dimensions and a short clip of it heating water. Zarax reviewed the request, gave me the handover details and paid after confirming the appliance matched my description.
Useful questions
Before you part with your microwave.
These answers cover the parts of the process people usually want to confirm before requesting a quote.
Value my microwaveStart with the brand, full model number, specifications and an honest description of the condition. Add clear photographs of the item, label, accessories and any faults.
Potentially, yes. Acceptance depends on the item and the fault. Explain exactly what happens when it is switched on or used, and show the damaged area clearly.
Not always. The original packaging, power supply, remote, manuals or matching accessories can provide useful context, so list everything that is included.
Do not send the item before receiving confirmation. If we wish to proceed, the receiving location and delivery instructions are shared with you privately.
Payment follows receipt or collection and inspection. If the item matches the agreed details, Zarax pays the agreed amount by bank transfer or PayPal. If anything differs materially, we contact you first.
