## The Old School Game Vault Payment Options

At The Old School Game Vault, you can choose to get paid by business check, PayPal, Zelle, or an Amazon eGift Card. Pick your preferred option when you place your order.![](https://theoldschoolgamevault.com/images/Game_Banners/Policies/Payment%20Policy%20TheOSGVault.webp)

### 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; it happens 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 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. 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 3 to 4 business days 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.

## Commonly Asked Questions:

**Do you send cash in the mail?**

- No. For security and tracking purposes, we do not send physical cash. You may choose from one of our four secure payment options \[PayPal, Amazon eGift Card, Zelle, or business check\] during the checkout process.

**Why does the business check take so long to arrive?**

- Our banking institution issues business checks electronically. Once we send it, the 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.
