Start with a question, not a parcel
The first step is a conversation, not a commitment. Send a photo of your gold bullion on WhatsApp, or call, and you will get an honest quick indicative figure and a straight answer to anything you want to ask. You decide what happens next.
Because GoldPaid works entirely by post across the UK, you do all of this from home, in your own time. No shop, no queue, and nobody watching over your shoulder while you think.
Gold bullion we buy
- Gold bars and ingots of any weight, 1g, 1oz, 100g, 1kg and larger
- 999.9 fine gold
- Branded bullion, PAMP, Metalor, Umicore, Royal Mint and others
- Cast, poured and minted gold bars
- Gold bullion coins, Britannias and Sovereigns
Bars are accepted with or without their original assay cards or sealed packaging. We pay for confirmed fine-gold content, not the card.
How it works
- Ask first and send photos. Message us on WhatsApp with photos of your gold bullion for a quick indicative figure. Ask anything; there is no charge and no obligation.
- Request a prepaid Royal Mail label. We send a free Royal Mail Special Delivery label, tracked and signed for. No printer? We send a QR code for the Post Office counter.
- Post it when you are ready. Use any padded envelope. There is no deadline and no pressure.
- Receive a no-obligation valuation. Every item is weighed on calibrated scales and tested by XRF spectrometry. You get a written, itemised offer: purity, weight, the rate used and the figure.
- Accept or decline. Accept and you are paid by bank transfer via Faster Payments. Decline and everything is returned free of charge by tracked, insured post.
How we value what you send
Every offer is built from three measurable facts: confirmed purity, accurate weight, and the live precious-metal market rate on the day we assess your items. You see each figure in a written breakdown before you decide anything. See how we value gold and XRF testing explained for the full method.
Gold bullion is the most direct thing to value: each bar is weighed and XRF-assayed to confirm the fineness, then valued against the live gold spot rate. Because investment bullion is 999.9 fine, the offer tracks the live market closely.
Postage, tracking and cover
Royal Mail Special Delivery cover may be available up to £2,500 depending on the postal method and cover level used. Every parcel uses Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed, tracked from the counter to our door, signed for on arrival, and arranged with that compensation cover. For anything you think exceeds it, contact us first; we will arrange a suitable approach rather than leave a parcel underprotected. The detail sits on postage and insurance and is it safe to post gold?.
Changing your mind is free
Declining costs you nothing. If the written offer does not suit you, say so, and your items come straight back by tracked, insured Royal Mail post at our expense. No fee, no questions, no chasing. See what happens if I decline the offer for the step by step.
Who this helps
This suits investors releasing part of a gold holding, people who have inherited gold bars and want a documented sale, and anyone who would prefer to post a sealed, tracked parcel rather than carry high-value bullion to a high-street buyer.
Getting paid
Once you accept your written offer, payment is made by bank transfer using Faster Payments, directly to your account. No cheques to wait on, no conditions attached.

Common questions
How close to spot is the offer for gold bullion?
Investment gold bullion is 999.9 fine, so the offer tracks the live gold spot rate closely, less our margin. Your firm offer is confirmed after the XRF assay and weighing of your specific bars.
Can I sell a high-value gold bar by post?
Yes. Message us before posting so we can confirm the right postal and cover approach for the value, including splitting items across more than one parcel where appropriate.
What if I decline the offer?
Your bullion is returned to you free of charge by tracked, insured Royal Mail post. There is no fee for declining and no follow-up pressure.
