Selling from Canada at a glance

  • We buy from every province and territory.
  • Offers and payouts are in US dollars, the same prices US sellers get.
  • You ship the box with any carrier, and it must arrive duties paid (DDP).
  • You’re paid by PayPal only, in US dollars. We cover the PayPal fee for sending the payment. Currency conversion, and any other fees PayPal or your bank charge you, are yours.

How it works from Canada

  1. Look up your games. Search any title for the loose, boxed or sealed price. Every offer is in US dollars.
  2. Check out with Canada as your country. Pick your province and enter your postal code. Your payout goes by PayPal, the only option for Canadian sellers.
  3. Ship it to us, duties paid. Use any carrier you like. The box must arrive duties paid (DDP). Add your carrier and tracking number on your order page within 14 days of checkout. Once tracking is added there is no shipping deadline, because customs can take a while. If no tracking is added, we will contact you and may cancel the order.
  4. Get paid by PayPal. We start inspecting within 2 business days of arrival (2 to 7 business days depending on order size) and pay within 2 business days after that, in US dollars.

What it costs you

  • Shipping to us: yours. There’s no free label from Canada.
  • US duty, tariffs and brokerage: yours. The box must arrive duties paid.
  • Anything a carrier charges us at the door: comes off your payout.
  • Currency conversion and any other PayPal or bank fees on your payout: yours. We cover the PayPal fee for sending it.
Worth knowing: shipping across the border isn’t cheap, so selling to us from Canada makes the most sense for a box worth a good amount, such as a collection, a console with games, or a few valuable titles.

Helpful shipping tips

  • Canada Post asks you to prepay US duty in the free Zonos app. It gives you a Declaration ID to show at the counter.
  • Canada Post takes at most 2 devices with batteries (handhelds, controllers) per box to the US.
  • With UPS, FedEx or Purolator, ask for duties and taxes billed to the shipper.
  • Declare it as a sale at what we’re paying you, with each item’s country of origin, never as a gift.

These are tips only. Ship however you like, and your carrier can help. For packing, see our packing guide.
