What payment methods are commonly used when selling video games online?

At The Old School Game Vault, you can choose to get paid by Business Check, PayPal, Zelle, or Amazon eGift card. Just pick your preferred option when you place your order. 

1. Business Check

This is a reliable and traditional way to get paid.

• We will send a business Check to the address you gave us.
• Checks usually arrive within 5 to 7 business days.
• Please note, this is an electronic check, not a personal check. The check will be very thin, with perforated edges, and will say “Bill Payment Center”. Don’t mistake the check for spam; this does happen from time to time.

2. PayPal

This is a fast and secure way to get paid.

• We send your funds almost right after you accept your final quote.
• Make sure your PayPal email address is correct.

3. Zelle

Zelle lets you transfer money instantly from bank to bank.

• Your money goes straight into your checking account, usually within minutes.
• With this option, you get paid quickly, with no fees or middlemen.
• We only need either your cell phone number or the email address used to register your Zelle account.

4. Amazon eGift Card

This is a great choice for customers who love to shop on Amazon.

• We will email you a digital Amazon gift card to the email address used to submit the order.
• This is real money you can use to buy anything you want, but only on Amazon.

How long does it take to issue My Payment?

• We usually send payments within 48 to 72 hours of receiving and checking your games.
• If your order arrives on a weekend or holiday, we will start processing it on the next business day.
• We aim to make our process fast, easy, and hassle-free.
