Why GoldPaid

Why choose GoldPaid

There are plenty of places to sell gold. Here is an honest account of what GoldPaid does differently, and where another route might suit you better.

What we do differently

  • Ask before you post. You can have a question answered before you commit anything. That is the first step here, not an afterthought.
  • XRF spectrometry on every item. A measured composition, not a counter estimate or an acid scratch, see XRF testing explained.
  • A written, itemised offer. Purity, weight, the rate used and the figure, in writing, before you decide. See how we value gold.
  • Free tracked postage both ways. A free label in, a free tracked return out if you decline.
  • No pressure tactics. No countdowns, no "today only", no fake reviews or invented numbers.

Where another route might suit you better

We will be straight with you. If you need cash in your hand within the hour, a high-street buyer or pawnbroker is faster, postal selling takes a day or two each way. If you have a rare coin, a notable stone or a branded watch, a specialist may pay more than a metal-value buyer. We would rather tell you that than buy a collectable as scrap. See postal vs high street, sell gold vs pawnbroker and our dated comparison of UK gold buyers, which names real firms and says where they beat us.

Common questions

What makes a postal buyer different from a high-street shop?

No shopfront overheads, XRF testing instead of a counter estimate, a written offer you can consider at home, and free tracked postage both ways. The trade-off is a day or two in the post each way.

Will GoldPaid always be the best option for me?

No, and we say so. If you need instant cash, or you have a genuinely collectable item, another route may suit you better. For unwanted gold and silver sold for its metal, a written, XRF-backed postal offer lets you check every figure before you decide.

Not the question you had? The full GoldPaid FAQ covers the rest, from postal cover and ID checks to what happens if you decline the offer.

A clear photo on WhatsApp is the only commitment for now. We will explain the X-ray (XRF) testing, how each item is weighed, the per-gram rate we are working from, and what Royal Mail cover may be available for your parcel. Decline at any point and the items come straight back, free of charge.

GoldPaid is a UK-wide postal buyer of gold, silver, platinum and palladium with no shop: you request a free prepaid Royal Mail Special Delivery label, your items are XRF-assayed in house, and you are paid by bank transfer only if you accept the written offer.

Your prepaid Royal Mail Special Delivery label is addressed to GOLDPAID LTD, Unit 217, Bristol Business Centre, 179 Whiteladies Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 2AG. That is our Bristol office: your parcel is signed for on arrival and opened there, and each item is weighed and XRF-tested, so you know exactly where it is going before you post it.
