Section 1

Who We Are

CardSell is an online platform for customers who want to turn an unused gift card into money. You tell us the brand and balance, we show you the payout on the spot, and if you choose to go ahead we verify the card before anything else happens. That verification-first sequence is the core of how we work.

We serve customers located in the United Kingdom. Support is handled in English by a single named inbox, so there is always a written record of what was agreed.

We are deliberately plain about what we can and cannot promise. Verification does not guarantee acceptance, and timings depend on retailers and payment providers we do not control. What we can commit to is telling you the offer before you submit, checking the card properly, and never redeeming it without your say-so.

Section 2

Our Mission

Our aim is straightforward — to make selling a gift card feel safe and predictable:

A simple selling experience

A short, clearly signposted form — no accounts to manage, no jargon.

Transparent payout offers

You see the offer before you submit, with no fees taken off it afterwards.

Secure verification procedures

Every card is checked for brand, validity and balance before anything happens.

Fair business practices

Clear rules, published policies, and decisions we are willing to explain.

Professional customer support

Written responses from a named support inbox at every stage.

Privacy-focused services

We collect only what we need and never sell personal information.

How Our Process Works

  1. 01Submit your gift card

    Review the payout offer on screen, then send us the card details.

  2. 02Verification takes place

    We confirm the brand, validity and balance, and run duplicate and fraud checks.

  3. 03Authorisation request is sent

    If the card clears, we email you the confirmed balance and final payout amount.

  4. 04Seller approves the transaction

    You decide. Decline or ignore the request and the card stays yours.

  5. 05Gift card redemption

    Only after your approval is the card redeemed against the agreed amount.

  6. 06Electronic payout

    Your payout is released to the electronic method you selected.

No verified gift card is redeemed without the seller's explicit authorisation

Verification and redemption are two separate steps. We check the card first, tell you what it is worth, and wait. If you do not approve, the card is never redeemed and remains entirely yours.
