/ The Process

Four steps. No haggling.

We've taken what works on r/mechmarket — verified sellers, condition grading, fast payouts — and removed what doesn't: flake buyers, lowballs, and waiting two weeks for someone to commit.

STEP 01

Tell us what you have

A 2-minute form. Model, condition, switches, photos. We support 80+ boards from Keychron, GMMK, NovelKeys, Drop, Mode, and more.

STEP 02

Get a firm quote in 24h

No "estimate ranges." A real, locked-in payout number — based on actual mechmarket comps, not vibes. Expires in 7 days, no pressure.

STEP 03

Ship it free

We email a prepaid, insured label. Drop it off, hold onto the receipt, done. We even pack a return label in case anything's off.

STEP 04

Get paid in 48h

PayPal, Wise, Zelle, or bank transfer. Once we inspect and confirm, money's out the door same business day.

/ Why PaidToTrade

Built by enthusiasts,
not pawn shops.

We know the difference between a Boba U4T and a Boba U4. We know why your '20 GMK set is worth more than your Tai-Hao set. That's why our prices reflect what your gear is actually worth.

Verified seller on r/mechmarket

Public trade history, photo confirmations, and zero negative feedback. Mod-approved bulk seller status since day one.

48-hour inspection promise

If our inspection differs from the listed condition, you get a revised quote within 48 hours — and a free return label if you walk away.

Insured shipping, both ways

Every label we send is insured up to your quoted value. If FedEx eats your board, we eat the loss — not you.

Trade-up credit, not just cash

Take your payout as cash, or get a 12% bonus by applying it as credit toward any refurbished board in our shop.

No expiring quotes

Your quote is locked for 7 days. If our market data updates and we'd pay more, we honor the higher price automatically.

Authenticity guaranteed

Suspect a fake GMK set or counterfeit board? We catch them before paying. Every refurb we sell is verified — no exceptions.

Listed my Q1 on mechmarket for two weeks. Got seven lowballs and one ghost. PaidToTrade quoted me $92 in twelve hours and the money hit my Wise account on a Wednesday. Done.
