The $1 fee is a simple verification amount to ensure that you, are really you! PayPal, Google, etc. all go through rigorous means to ensure that your account is properly setup and verified.

We try and make this a safe site, free from scam artists that steal others feedback and use it as their own. While 99% of our users are honest and wholesome people, there may be that small percent that are dishonest. Unfortunately, at this time we can not verify everyones feedback at every single site , but we will do spot checks of all our sellers randomly to ensure that they are using the correct links for external feedback.

A great way for our sellers to show they are who they say they are is to simply post a Link in their feedback thread of choice to their GameGavel profile page or about me page to create a loop between this site and others!

GameGavel's approach is simple. We don't charge you to list your items, ever.

After your auction is complete, you don't pay anything! Maximize your profit.

  3. Choose MY ACCOUNT
  4. Choose MANAGE ACCOUNT
  5. Scroll Down to the Direct Payment Settings Section

Most often, this is due to a software idiosyncrasy that we are working on fixing. When you click the attach button, it adds it to the"queue" to be uploaded. After you have "attached" all of your images (up to 6), you must click the UPLOAD button. This will upload all of your images at one time, and the page will refresh brining you back to the top. From this point, you can continue editing your auction for display.

If you find that you completed your listing and it has already posted, you can always edit the details of the auction afterwards to add the pictures
