How To Sell Gold
How Do I Sell Gold in Three Quick and Easy Steps?
To sell gold by mail, choose an online gold buyer, follow its packing and shipping instructions, and send your items with tracking and insurance. After the buyer documents, tests and evaluates your items, you receive an offer. You can accept it and receive payment or decline it and have your items returned under the buyer’s return policy.
Sell Your Gold follows this process in three simple steps: request your free Appraisal Kit, send your gold or other eligible items using prepaid, insured and trackable FedEx shipping, and review your no-obligation offer.
We send your offer within 24 hours of receiving your items. If you accept, payment is issued within 24 hours by direct deposit, PayPal or check. If you decline your offer within 10 days of receiving it, we’ll return your eligible items at no charge, subject to the Terms and Conditions.††
