Frequently Asked Questions
How do you ensure metal authenticity?
We require all sellers to verify their metals using Sigma Metalytics devices, which are industry-standard testing equipment. Each listing includes detailed verification results and images.
What are your fees?
We charge a 1% transaction fee for buyers and 2% for sellers. This includes escrow services and basic insurance. Additional insurance can be purchased separately.
How does the escrow system work?
When a purchase is made, the funds are held in escrow until the buyer receives and verifies the metals. This protects both parties in the transaction.
What shipping methods are available?
We work with premium shipping providers offering fully insured, trackable delivery. All shipments over $1,000 require signature confirmation.
How do I become a verified seller?
To become a verified seller, you must complete our enhanced verification process, which includes identity verification, business documentation, and proof of metal testing capabilities.
