GoldSell consistently pays more for scrap gold than the wider UK market. Our pricing is continuously benchmarked against 60+ UK gold buyers twice daily, so our valuation is designed to come in above the collective market average every single time. We also offer a Price Match Guarantee on any verified written offer from another UK gold buyer, on a like for like basis, so you are never short changed.

You can sell scrap gold from anywhere in the UK with GoldSell, without needing a local scrap gold buyer near you. We operate as a national postal scrap gold buyer, sending you a free, fully insured Gold Selling Pack to post your items back to us by Royal Mail Special Delivery. This means you receive a more competitive rate than most high street buyers can offer locally, with the convenience of selling from home.

Send your jewellery exactly as it is. Significant diamonds and gemstones are valued at live market rates and included in what we pay. Smaller stones are carefully removed while we process your gold and posted back to you free on request, or recycled responsibly if you would prefer.

Gold plated and gold filled items unfortunately do not qualify as scrap gold for resale, as the recoverable gold content sits below the threshold required to refine economically. If your pack contains a mixture of solid gold and plated items alongside, we will factor any solid gold pieces into your valuation and return plated items free of charge. Genuine scrap gold needs to be solid gold of 9 carat or higher.

We are the only UK gold buyer that continuously monitors the wider market. Our Live Price Checker™ compares what 60+ other UK buyers are paying every day, so we consistently pay more than the collective average. We refine gold directly with no middlemen, and in the rare event you have received a higher valuation elsewhere, our price match guarantee means we will match it or beat it.

Yes, you can sell scrap gold to GoldSell without a receipt or proof of purchase. We do not require receipts for your items, as our XRF testing reveals the precious metal content directly when we test your scrap gold. We do, however, ask all customers to sign and declare ownership of their items on the valuation form, which is completed and returned to us alongside your scrap gold inside your Gold Selling Pack.

Not a problem. We buy broken, damaged and unhallmarked gold and value it on its purity and weight alone. Our Trading Standards approved XRF testing reveals exactly what your gold is made of, so a missing, worn or foreign hallmark never changes what you are paid.

Once you've sold your scrap gold with us, your items are taken into our in-house refining facility. There, the gold is melted down, assayed for purity, and refined back into pure 999.9 fine gold bullion, which then re-enters the global precious metals supply chain. This process is how scrap gold finds a second life, often returning to the market as investment grade gold bars or new jewellery.

Your gold reaches us by 1pm the following day, we send your valuation that same day, and payment is released the moment you accept, straight to your bank. We offer the fastest payments of any online gold buyer in the UK.

You choose your payment method on the short valuation form inside your Gold Selling Pack. Most people pick bank transfer, our fastest and most secure option, with funds usually reaching your account immediately through the UK's Faster Payments System. You can also choose PayPal, a posted cheque, or cash sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which carries a £9.00 handling fee and can take a little longer to arrive. Whichever you pick, payment is released the moment you accept your valuation.

Yes. We are the only gold buyer in the UK to provide live updates via both email and SMS at every stage of your journey, from the Post Office counter to our secure vault, through to your valuation and payment. You'll always know exactly where your gold is and what's happening next.
