This is a reliable and traditional way to get paid.

- Your check is issued through our bank's bill-payment service and mailed to you. It usually arrives within 5 to 7 business days after it's sent.
- The check will be very thin, with perforated edges, and will say "Bill Payment Center." Please watch for this envelope so you don't accidentally discard your check; it happens from time to time.
2. PayPal
This is a fast and secure way to get paid.
- We send your PayPal payment once your order is received and processed.
- Make sure your PayPal email address is correct.
3. Zelle
Zelle allows you to transfer money between banks in real time.
- Your money goes straight into your checking account, usually within minutes.
- With this option, you receive your payment without any fees or middlemen.
- We only need either your cell phone number or the email address used to register your Zelle account.
4. Venmo
This is a convenient choice for customers who want payment sent directly to their Venmo account.
- We will send your payment using the Venmo information provided with your order.
- Once received, you can keep the money in Venmo, transfer it to your bank, or use it wherever Venmo is accepted.
5. Apple Cash
This is a convenient choice for customers who use Apple Pay and the Wallet app. You must have an iPhone.
- We will send your payment through Apple Cash using the phone number or email address connected to your Apple account.
- Once received, you can use the money through Apple Pay or transfer it to your bank.
6. Amazon Gift Card
This is a great choice for customers who shop on Amazon.
- We will email you a digital Amazon gift card to the email address used to submit the order.
- Your payment is issued as an Amazon Gift Card rather than cash, and it can only be used on Amazon.
How long does it take to receive my payment?
The Old School Game Vault sends payment within 3 to 4 business days after your order is received and processed. How soon it reaches you depends on your payment method.
- PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Cash, and Amazon Gift Card payments are sent electronically.
- Business checks are mailed and usually arrive within 5 to 7 business days after they're sent.
- If your order arrives on a weekend or holiday, we will start processing it on the next business day.
Do you send cash in the mail?
No. For security and tracking purposes, we do not send physical cash. You can choose from six secure payment options during checkout: PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Cash, business check, or Amazon Gift Card.
Why does a business check take longer to arrive?
A business check takes longer because our bank issues it through its bill-payment service, and it's then delivered by USPS. Once we send it, USPS and bank processing times determine the delivery speed, which is outside our control. We provide delivery estimates based on average transit times, but we cannot guarantee a specific arrival date.
