PlaySwitch.com was developed to be easy, fast, affordable, and safe. The gameMarket allows gamers to see all buyer and sellers, buy instantly and sell instantly, or set a bid or price and wait. Check it out!
Adding Games to Sell
Adding games to sell has never been easier. Simply search for the game you have to sell by clicking the "
FIND GAMES" button on the GameMarket page. When you find your game, click the “HAVE” button. Set your selling information (package, price, and comments) and the game is added to your "MY HAVES" list. (If you close the window without adding your information the game will be added to your list as "OFF".)
Selling Games
Selling your used games has never been easier. Go to the GameMarket page and click the "
MY HAVES" button. Each of your "HAVE" games has a “SELL INFO” button to review a complete list of all bids for this game and a list of all your competition (other sellers). From here, you may select your package, selling price, and add a comment to wait for a buyer to come to you by clicking the “ADD SELL” button OR you can sell instantly to any available buyer by clicking the “SELL NOW” button beside the appropriate buyer’s username. It’s that easy.
Adding Games to Buy
Buying games is simple and fast. Simply search for the game you want by clicking the "
FIND GAMES" button on the GameMarket page. When you find your game, click the “WANT GAME” button. Set your bid information (minimum package, bid, and comments) and the game is added to your "MY WANTS" list. (If you close the window without adding your information the game will be added to your list as "OFF".)
Buying Games
Buyers can now buy games faster and easier. Go to the GameMarket page and click the "
MY WANTS" button. Each of your "WANT" games has a “BUY INFO” button to review a complete list of all selling prices for this game and a list of all your competition (other buyers). From here, you may select your lowest acceptable package, bid price, and add a comment to wait for a seller to come to you by clicking the “PLACE BID” button OR you can buy instantly from any available seller by clicking the “BUY NOW” button beside the appropriate seller’s username. It’s easy as that.
Tips & Tricks for Buyers
- If you do not instantly buy a game, make sure you add a bid. If you do not, sellers will not know you want the game.
- Watch for green icons above the game art. Different icons signify different available packages.
- Be sure you adjust your minimal acceptable package to the lowest package you are willing to receive. The lower the condition chosen (“disc only” being the lowest) the higher your chances to get the game quickly.
Tips & Tricks for Sellers
- Be sure to set a price for your games for sale (unless you instantly sell) or buyers will not know your game is for sale.
- Only perfect or near perfect condition games are allowed to be sold on the site. If a game is damaged, scratched (other than minor topical scuffs), a copy, or a non-original version of the game, the seller will NOT receive payment for the sold game.
- Make sure you respond quickly when a buyer wants one of your games. If you do not, your status will be negatively affected.
- Watch for orange icons above the game art. Different icons signify different wanted packages.
- Keep a close eye on MY GAMES TO SEND in the right column of the site. A small clock means that a DELIVERY COFIRMATION NUMBER is required (or the word NONE to be entered) before the game will be considered on route. If a seller does not respond, the game will be considered NOT SENT after 3 days.
- Be sure to set your selling package correctly to ensure positive feedback. For example: If a buyer purchases a complete game from you and you send a disc only game, there will be problems with the transaction, resulting in a poor score or possibly no credit to your account.
Tips & Tricks for Buyers & Sellers
