Fast communication, very helpful, smooth experience

Gear Focus very actively worked to resolve, successfully, a hiccup I experienced with some sold products. They also kept me up-to-date quite frequently as they worked through the process. Very happy with the results!

I've been with Gear Focus for approximately four years, and it's always been a smooth experience as just someone who sells gear now and again when I'm ready for something else.

Simply the Best Platform for Selling Camera Gear

I can’t say enough good things about my experience selling on GearFocus over the last year and a half. The platform is incredibly easy to use, the process feels safe and protected, and everything runs smoothly. Anytime I’ve needed support, their customer service has been fantastic — quick, professional, and always helpful. Selling gear has never been easier. Highly recommended!

It all went great!

Its laid out pretty well, the transaction was smooth, shipping was quick and reasonable, and item was a described. I think most dealers on there are full time with a lot of brick and mortar stores listing so you're dealing with pros.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Kenny! Really glad the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. You make a great point — a lot of our sellers are seasoned pros who take real pride in how they list and ship their gear. That's exactly the kind of community we're building at GearFocus. Hope to see you back next time you're hunting for gear!

Gear Focus is a great selling platform.

Gear Focus has been the easiest, most efficient, most effective and cost effective platform I have used to sell camera gear. The customer service team is excellent ... very professional and quick to respond to questions or concerns. I highly recommend Gear Focus for buying/selling used or new camera related gear.

Awesome customer support from Beth

Awesome customer support from Beth, and a hard to find product that does essentially what it advertises, allowing me to debug some new software for our Search and Rescue team.

This wasn’t my first purchase from Gear…

This wasn’t my first purchase from Gear Focus and I doubt it will be my last! The people I have dealt with have been friendly and extremely helpful. The equipment I have purchased all have been in excellent condition. I made the mistake of purchasing a reconditioned lens from Nikon and I returned it the same day it was junk! I learned of Gear Focus and purchased the same lens from them and it was like new! They are my go to place now for all my camera needs. I made this purchase of two Nikon lenses and a Swing/Shift Bellows also Nikon. The package was very well packed and shipped the next day, delivery was right on time as well! Overall you can’t go wrong with doing business with Gear Focus. I highly recommend them. Now my only problem will be more people to compete with in the equipment I want to purchase!

Thanks for coming back—and for the kind words. Glad the two Nikon lenses and the Nikon Swing/Shift Bellows landed in excellent shape, packed well, and on time. We’re happy the lens you picked up from us felt “like new.” That’s the goal.

We’ll keep the good finds coming (and the boxes sturdy). If you ever need a hand, we’re at support@gearfocus.com!

Gear Focus worked for me

Purchase was exactly as stated and at the best price I could find on the net. I've put the Canon 70D through its paces and found it 100% operational and the upgrade from my starter Rebel is amazing. The articulating screen is worth the cost of the camera alone.

Hi J.M.,

Thanks for the awesome review! We’re so glad to hear that your Canon 70D was exactly as described and that you got the best deal on GearFocus. That articulating screen really is a game-changer!

We love helping photographers like you upgrade their gear at the best prices, and it’s great to hear that your move from the Rebel was such a success.

Enjoy your new camera, and happy shooting! If you ever need anything, we’re here for you.

New management - Great CS

New management - they were very helpful, responsive to queries and excellent customer service all round. Unfortunately they are still small so not many eyeballs. I think they would benefit from a fee reduction to attract new customs who want to save on eBay fees...

Hi Brian,

Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled that you had a great experience with our team—customer service is something we pride ourselves on.

We hear you on visibility, and as GearFocus continues to grow, more buyers and sellers are joining every day. We’re actively working on increasing traffic and exposure for listings, so stay tuned!

Regarding fees—GearFocus already offers some of the lowest in the industry, much lower than eBay’s. This allows sellers to keep more of their earnings while still benefiting from a secure and trusted marketplace.

We truly appreciate your feedback and support. If you ever have more suggestions, we’d love to hear them!

Gear Focus is the only company I trust for camera and gear sales

I have used Gear Focus as my primary medium for selling my camera and drone gear for several years. I am an average consumer of camera gear and have had numerous successful sales transactions with Gear Focus. With Gear Focus I have never experienced any hassles with scams or flaky transactions that are prevalent on other sites. Gear Focus is very reasonable with their seller fees and the value that I get is well worth the small fee for selling items hassle free. Shipping is easy, affordable and straight forward. For me the absolute best part of using Gear Focus has been their excellent customer support. If you have questions or any type of issue with your account or a transaction an actual person (Beth, you are awesome!) will respond very promptly with an answer or a solution. Selling or buying expensive camera or electronics can be stressful because of the high value of these items. Gear Focus has consistently taken the stress and worry out of the equation for me. As an actual user of Gear Focus I can highly recommend their service.

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Beth—she truly is awesome! Providing fast, personalized support is something we take pride in, and it means the world to hear how much you value it.

Thanks again for trusting GearFocus. We appreciate you and look forward to many more successful transactions together!
