How to sell items, currency and top-ups
Set a price, your stock and a minimum order, choose a delivery method, and give a guaranteed delivery time for when you’re online and offline.
Create the listing
- Open the sell page and choose the game.
- Choose the product type: items, currency or top-ups.
- Fill in the sections of Listing details, described below.
- Select Review listing, check it, then select Publish listing.
What each type asks for
| Items | Currency | Top-ups | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Title | You write it (3 to 200 characters) | Created for you | Created for you |
| Price | Per item | Per unit of the currency | Per top-up |
| Amount | None | None | Pick one of the set Top-Up Amount options |
| Volume discounts | Optional | Optional | None |
| Photos | Up to 10 | None, a cover image is added | None, a cover image is added |
Every type needs a description of 10 to 5,000 characters. Say exactly what the buyer gets, and don’t add contact details or other sites.
Price, stock and minimum order
- Total Quantity Available: how much you have to sell right now.
- Minimum Offer Quantity: the smallest amount a buyer can order. It must be 1 or more.
- Volume Discounts: for items and currency, give a percentage off when a buyer orders at least a set amount.
When your stock reaches 0, the listing goes inactive. Raise the quantity again and it goes back on sale.
Currency units
Each game’s currency is sold in a fixed unit, set by PlayerBay: a single coin, or thousands (K), millions (M) and so on. The form shows the unit next to the price, the stock and the minimum. For example, if the unit is M, a price of 0.50 is per million, and a stock of 200 means 200 million.
You can have one listing for each currency, amount and delivery method. To change your offer, update the listing you already have.
Delivery
Delivery method
Choose how you’ll hand the order over, from the methods the game offers, such as a trade in the game or the in-game mail. Buyers see the method on your listing.
At checkout, buyers fill in what you need to deliver, such as their character name or account ID. You see these details on the order page.
Guaranteed delivery time
Set two times:
- When online: required. Buyers see it while you’re online.
- When offline: optional. Buyers see it while you’re offline. If you leave it empty, they see your online time instead.
The time a buyer sees at checkout is the one the order keeps. If you don’t deliver within it, the buyer can cancel the order and get their money back.
After a sale
Deliver in the game, then select Mark as Delivered on the order. See Delivering an order.
Listings that aren’t instant-delivery pause after 30 days without a stock confirmation. See Keeping listings active.
