You stay in control
Posting valuables should never feel like a leap of faith, so here it does not start as one. Ask your questions first and send photos of your silver bullion on WhatsApp for a no-charge quick indicative figure. Only when you are comfortable do you request a label.
This is a UK-wide postal service with no branches anywhere. Wherever you live, it works the same way: a free insured label in, a written offer back, and a free return if you decline.
Silver bullion we buy
- Silver bars of any weight, 1oz, 100g, 1kg and larger
- Silver rounds and minted ingots
- 999 and 999.9 fine silver
- Branded bullion, Royal Mint, Metalor, Umicore and others
- Cast and poured silver bars
Brand and packaging are not what we pay for. We pay for confirmed fine-silver content. Bars are accepted with or without their original assay cards.
How selling works here
- Start on WhatsApp. A couple of clear photos of your silver bullion are enough for us to give you a quick indicative figure at no charge.
- Claim your free postage. We issue a prepaid, tracked, signed-for Royal Mail Special Delivery label, or a QR code for the Post Office.
- Post in your own time. Any padded envelope works, and there is no deadline to meet.
- Get a written valuation. Each item is weighed on calibrated scales and read by XRF spectrometry, and the itemised offer is sent to you in writing.
- Accept or walk away. Acceptance means payment by Faster Payments; declining means a free, fully tracked return.
The valuation, in plain terms
We do not eyeball a figure. Each item is XRF-assayed for purity and weighed on calibrated scales, then valued against the live market rate, and you see the working in writing before you decide. The method is set out in full on how we value gold.
Silver bullion is the most straightforward thing to value: it is weighed and XRF-assayed to confirm the fineness, then valued against the live silver spot rate. Because fine silver is close to pure, the offer tracks the live market closely.
How your parcel is protected
Your parcel is insured up to £2,500 via Royal Mail Special Delivery. Your items travel on Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed: fully tracked, needs a signature on delivery, arranged with that compensation cover per parcel. Worth more than that? Tell us before you post, and we will either arrange extra cover or suggest splitting the items across separate parcels. See postage and insurance for the full picture.
Declining, made simple
A quick message is all it takes to decline, and you do not need to give a reason. Your items are then returned free of charge on a tracked, insured service, with no fee and no pressure to reconsider. What happens if I decline the offer covers it fully.
Who this helps
This suits silver stackers and investors who want to release some holding without a shop visit, people who have inherited bullion bars and rounds, and anyone who would rather post a sealed parcel than carry valuables into a high-street buyer.
Being paid
If you accept, payment follows by Faster Payments, transferred directly to your bank account. It is the last step, and a simple one.
Why sellers choose GoldPaid

If something is worth more to a specialist than to us, we say so.
Common questions
How close to spot is the offer for silver bullion?
Fine silver bullion is close to pure, so the offer tracks the live silver 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 large quantity of silver bullion by post?
Yes. Message us before posting so we can confirm the right postal and cover approach for the value involved, 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.
