Want to know how to sell gold jewelry for cash? Need to know the best ways to go about doing this? This in-depth article will cover everything you need to know about how to sell gold jewelry for cash. 

  1. Sell gold jewelry on eBay. On eBay you can sell your gold jewelry via an auction or by fixed price. Most people on eBay that are buying products prefer to use auctions to purchase their items. This is very important to remember when you decide to sell gold jewelry there. Another good tip when selling your gold jewelry on eBay is to make sure to list your item honestly on your sales page. If your gold jewelry has a dent in it, detail it in your auction. This avoids future hassles you might have with  eBay members.
  2. Sell gold jewelry to gold refiners. These companies pay way more money than your average pawnshop. If a pawnshop offers you $500 dollars for a gold chain, you can sell that same chain to a gold refining company for double the price. You have probably seen some of these companies on television via commercials, but there are better refining companies online that pay more money. Note: Never use pawnshops, all they do is buy your jewelry and sell it for more cash to refiners. This is something you can do yourself. 
  3. List on Craigslist. Go to this site and list your gold in the section of Craigslist that says "Jewelry". Here you can create an ad detailing the jewelry you are selling, with contact information to reach you. The ads on Craigslist are free which makes it a great tool to sell gold jewelry.
  4. Place an ad in a newspaper. Many online newspapers around the country have a feature on their site that will allow you to place an ad for free. The only condition is that the ad has to be three lines and is usually only for seven days. The three lines should be enough for you to put the proper information you need to sell your item.
