Did you get a new mobile or tablet device over the holidays? If so turn your old tech into cash instead of a fancy paper weight.

Available in Canada starting today, eBay’s Instant Sale program is a convenient way for Canadians to sell their used electronics and get up to $300 for each device.

It’s fairly easy to get started here are the 3 main steps:

  1. Find your device using eBay’s Instant Sale search engine at: http://instantsale.ebay.ca/
  2. Print off your free shipping label
  3. Mail in your device

Once eBay assesses the device and it passes their quality test the money will be deposited into your PayPal account. This usually happens in about 5 business days.

To ensure your data doesn’t get into the wrong hands eBay has partnered with Staples Canada to remove all data from the devices before they are sold to someone else.

I’ll definitely be using this service.
