Sell & list your games for sale in 5 simple steps
We recommend reading through the "Games4eva video game grading standards" (at the bottom of this page) to understand how games on the marketplace are graded for sale.
1) Login to your account, go to "settings", click "seller settings" & fill out the required information (this only needs to be done once)
2) Find the game you want to sell on the Games4eva Marketplace/Database, go to the game release page & click "Sell Game"
3) Enter the required fields (you can also upload your own photos of the actual game you are selling here if you want to). (Additional info is an area where you can add details that you feel may be relevant to the listing, ie - comes complete with manual, new from shop stock, download codes may not be valid, etc).
4) Add your shipping options (this only needs to be done once) & tick box the ones you want to apply. Check the tick box if you agree to our selling terms & conditions & click "List game"
5) That's it! Your game is now live for sale on the Games4eva Marketplace. You can view this on the "Database", in the "Games for sale" section on the home screen & also on the "selling" area of your Games4eva account. Check back daily to see when you have orders ready to ship.
Promo Codes
Promo codes can be redeemed at the point of "Confirm your purchase" when clicking "Add to cart" or "Buy now".

The artwork & game release on the database is different from the game I want to sell - is this ok?
No - Very Important. The game you are selling must have the EXACT same artwork & be the same game release as listed on the Games4eva database. It is the seller's responsibility to ensure this is the actual game they are listing for sale & this also helps ensure a smooth pleasant transaction for both the buyer & seller. If it is not the same game or it is not in the database, then you will need to "Add a game" to be able to sell this. (Check the "Add a game" section in our FAQs or watch the "how-to add a game tutorial video" in the "how to use the site videos" on how to do this).
If the game you want to sell is on the database but the artwork is missing, then just "edit" the game, add the artwork & send it over for approval which will be updated & live on the site within 24 hours.
How will I know when I receive orders on the site?
Regularly check your "My Orders" section to stay up to date with sales that need to be shipped. In addition to this, you will also see a notification in your "messages" when you receive a new order.
A buyer has placed an order, what do I do next?
1) Login to your account, click your profile name & then click "My Orders". The order will state & display one of two options as follows -
* If the order has not been paid, a red text box will display "Order placed, awaiting payment"
* If the order has been paid for with Paypal, a yellow text box will display "Payment processed, its time to ship your order".
(PLEASE NOTE - Paypal is linked with Games4eva to update order status, however it is the seller's responsibility to check the payment has been received before dispatch). If for example, you are a new PayPal seller, your account may have restrictions to which payment might have been completed but may not show due to pending or clearing status. It is the seller's responsibility to check this as Games4eva cannot be held responsible for any liability.
2) Once payment has been confirmed, dispatch your order & click "Payment received & order shipped". (You can also add tracking information or upload proof of postage at this point too)
3) Leave feedback, "Archive" the transaction & your order is now complete.
I live in the UK & want to sell to overseas buyers, can I do this?
Yes, this is fine & we encourage this to increase your chances of sales & maximize your profits. Most of our current buyers & sellers are UK-based however, we do have some overseas buyers & sellers who have signed up as well. Please state clearly in your seller's terms & conditions where you are based (to not cause any confusion) & what shipping rates you offer.
I have signed up to Games4eva but live outside of the UK overseas, is this ok & can I still buy & sell?
Similar to the above, this is fine as Games4eva is a worldwide buying & selling marketplace. If a buyer wanting to purchase from you is based (for example) in the UK & you are located in Italy (for example), then just make sure that you have clearly stated in your seller's terms & conditions, where you are based (to not cause any confusion) & also what shipping rates you offer.
