Welcome to the Official CAG Amazon.com Trade-In Thread

THIS IS NOT A FLIPPING THREAD. USEFUL CREDIT TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES WELCOME, BUT KEEP THE PROFIT MARGIN TALK / SNEAKY OR LYING SHENANIGANS OUT

Hey trade-in pals! SENDING THINGS IN DISC / CARTRIDGE ONLY / GENERIC CASE NO MANUAL / ANYTHING BUT COMPLETE COULD RESULT IN REJECTION. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS. YOU MIGHT GET ACCEPTED, YOU MIGHT NOT. NO ONE KNOWS. IF YOU CUT OUT A UPC OR DO ANYTHING TO TRICK THE FINE(?) FOLKS AT AFS EXPECT IT TO BE OPENED AND REJECTED. THERE ARE NO HARD AND FAST RULES. IF IT IS ACCEPTED, IT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY ONLY BE CONSIDERED "ACCEPTABLE." RISK YOUR TIME AND EFFORT AT YOUR PERIL!

I'm getting an acceptance rate of about one per day; it makes me think some supervisor is standing around with a glass of absinthe next to a couple of dumptruck loads of games...while the one responsible for the glitch is made to scan each item and recite its TIV with tears in their eyes. - Indigo_Streetlight

GENERAL FAQ (Updated 12/26/2012)
Can I post a question on this thread?
Only if you can't find the answer from below. And please let me know if it needs to be added to FAQ.

Can I edit this FAQ? (updated 6/7/11)
You bet!

Since when did Amazon start doing trades?
The program began in 2009 and is handled by a third party merchant, previously known as NorAm International. Now known as AFS (Amazon Fulfillment Services).

What kind of shipping does Amazon provide us?
Free UPS ground ---- USPS is no longer available for free. There is now also an option to provide your own shipping.

Do I have to provide my own box or envelope?
Yes.

Do all my games in the same trade-in submission have to be shipped in the same box? (updated 3/9/11)
Not necessarily - people have sent in multiple boxes for the same trade-in submission successfully. It's even possible to send half at one time and the other half at the end of the valid shipping period. However, it's probably best to always ship everything at once.

Can I put separate trades in to a single box? (updated 6/7/11)
Sure, and they'll likely be accepted just fine. However, it isn't recommended since you would only have proof that you sent one of the trades (whichever mailing label you used). So it can be pretty risky.

Can I send in sealed games?
Yes. They won't reject games that still have the original shrink wrap.

Can I add Delivery Confirmation and Insurance to my shipment?
UPS Ground already provides you with tracking information, and I imagine you could get some sort of insurance added at a UPS store or location if you were so inclined.

I don't trust UPS ground. Can I pay for postage myself? What's the address?
Yes. You're more than welcome to do so. Just use the address on the amazon provided shipping label and make sure to get some sort of tracking.

When do I have to send my games once I have submitted my trade order?
You have 1 week (7 days) to send your games. There have been reports of submitting trades up to 15 - 20 days late, but that is definitely ymmv and not in the written rules. Send on time for the best chance at success!

Crap, I have one day to go before my shipment deadline, but the website states that my deadline has already passed. How do I print out a shipping label and packing slip? (Updated 9/9/13)
Load up any existing order (if you don't have any, check your browser's history or just submit a new one to use the link), and substitute the transaction ID for the trade-in order you need at the end of the URL.

Some step by step directions:
1. Go to your trade-in page on Amazon and find the Trade-In ID of the transaction:

Trade-In Placed:

August 24, 2013

  • Total Amount Submitted: $35.00
  • Amount Paid: $0.00
2. Copy the entire Trade-In ID (i.e. TRN-1234567-1234567) to your clipboard by highlighting it and hitting Ctrl+C or right click -> copy with your mouse

3. Paste the Trade-In ID to the end of this link:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/tradein/multicondition-your-account/print-label/ref=trdrt_ya_yaprnt?ie=UTF8&orderID=

So it should look like this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/tradein/multicondition-your-account/print-label/ref=trdrt_ya_yaprnt?ie=UTF8&orderID=TRN-1234567-1234567

The Print Shipping Label screen for that trade should now come up.

How long does the whole trade-in process usually take?
From the time you send in your games, it may take up to 14 business days for the package to arrive. Most people usually receive their credit (Amazon GiftCard) in 3 to 5 business days, however.

How long does the "processing" status usually take? (Updated 10/11/12)
Usually a day or two with little delay at all. It may take multiple days or even weeks if it's an usual item/hardware.

My games were received on Friday (based on Delivery Confirmation), will I have to wait until Monday to receive credit?
People have received credit on a Saturday.

I do not have the manual, cover art, or original case for a game I want to trade in. Will they accept it? (updated 6/9/11)
While the details specifically state that original packaging is necessary, people have reported in the past that their trades were accepted despite missing some of these. This is extremely YMMV, however since some were also rejected by missing manual or cover art. On the other hand, older gen games; such as SNES, N64, and GB cartridges, normally get accepted without the original box and manual, but still YMMV.

It should be noted that with the new condition requirements (see later in the FAQ), you may be able to send an item in missing some or all of the required items (manual / cover art / case) and still have it accepted in "Acceptable" condition.

I do not have the manual, accessories, original box, original included game, etc for a console or accessory I want to trade in. Will they accept it? (updated 3/9/11)
The current wisdom is "probably not" - it's pretty YMMV but AFS seems stricter than they should be on this. Your chances seem to be better for them accepting a console or accessory without the box / manual / etc if it's older generation or rare. You're more than welcome to give it a shot though if you're feeling lucky - just pack it well and include as much as you can! Don't expect greater than 'acceptable' condition though.

My game is really beat up, what are the chances they’ll accept it?
This is YMMV. Some people have reported in the past that they sent in games in bad shape that were still accepted. Your best bet is still to trade in games in mint condition. Minor scratches are expected as these are used games.

My game came with DLC codes and I used them. Will my game be accepted? (Updated 12/28/11)
It is expected that included DLC codes have already been redeemed, so you should be fine. It is a kindness however if you have no use for it to not redeem it and let the next lucky soul who buys it from awd or wherever have a crack at it. Up to you!

My cover art (PLATINUM HITS) differs from the pic on amazon, will my trade be accepted?
It all depends on the UPC so just turn your game around, type in the UPC into the amazon search box. If the game comes up, then it's accepted regardless of cover art. Click on that result to submit your trade.

I have a game from a limited edition bundle, will they accept it?
If the game’s cover art has a UPC barcode, they will most likely accept it. If your game's cover states "Not for Resale" and does not have a UPC barcode, the game will most likely get rejected. Some people have had their games accepted in the past, but this is very YMMV.

The UPC barcode is not intact on my game's cover art, will that be accepted? (updated 3/9/11)
This is YMMV, but probably not. The UPC is all powerful within the walls of AFS..

I sent in my games, all of which were in pristine condition with the original packaging, but they said that one game is damaged and is now being returned.
Always pack your games well. Put a lot of newspaper around your games in the box to secure them and to prevent any damages from haphazard box cutting. People in the past have requested their entire trade-in order if it’s obvious the damage wasn’t their fault, and Amazon ended up accepting the rejected game. This is YMMV as well.

Can I trade in multiple copies of the same game?
Yes. Once you click “Trade in” for a particular game, you may change the quantities. Once you submit, you can no longer change quantities on that trade-in batch.

How many multiple copies of the same game can I trade-in (updated 1/11/11)?
Maximum of 2 copies within 3 a month period.

I locked in X copies of a game but I now only have Y available to send. Can I just send in Y without being penalized? (updated 3/9/11)
Yes, you can always just send in a portion of your trade-in order and they'll just credit you for whatever they receive. However, the quantities you submitted for will stay locked in that instance (I think) so if you, for example, submitted for 2 copies and only sent 1, you may not be able to trade any more copies of that game for 3 months (see previous question).

Will the Trade-in of the Day TIV stay for 24 hours?
It's been reported that there is a limit (maximum # of copies) that will get the promoted TIV so lock yours.

So if I find a good flip, I can just send 2 copies of that game and not worry about Amazon accusing me of stolen merchandise?
Technically yes, but do keep in mind that other CAGs might want to participate in the current deal, and trading in a large number of the same game will definitely lower the TIV of said game. Let’s be nice to other people. This is probably moot for most folks now with the per account / address trade-in limit.

Wow, these TIVs suck (updated 3/9/11)!
Really? Hrm. While that may be true, they're often better than other comparable places. Your options of what to do with your used games are greater now than they've ever been, so feel free to shop your trades around or just sell them off on glyde/ebay/whatever. Also, not a question.

What the fuck? The TIV of a game I just bought for this deal tanked! What do I do?
The TIVs on Amazon fluctuate depending on the number of trades that are submitted, and we really can’t do anything about it. The best course of action for trading in games is to lock in your trade if you already have the games or are absolutely sure that you can obtain them. You can always cancel the trade submission if you end up not finding the games.
LOCK = SUBMIT YOUR TRADE, Don't just put it in the cart.

Can I edit a submitted trade?
Nope - once upon a time you could modify trade in quantities of submitted trades, but that ability has been removed.

Can I use my credit on items that are not video game-related?
Yes. This is the other perk for trading in games at Amazon since you're not limited to just video games.

Can I use my credit on items sold by third-party merchants on Amazon?
According to the fine print of the Amazon gift card use, some merchants are excluded. Your best bet is to try it on the checkout page of your order.

Strategy guides? I can trade in game/strategy guides? Whaaaaa?
Go to the Textbook Buyback section (http://www.amazon.com/Textbooks-Trad...ode=2205237011[/URL]). You can either search on the title of a strategy guide you have to see if they'll accept it, or search for guides. The two best search strings to start with are 'prima guides' and 'bradygames'. Might try 'doublejump' if you want to trade in some of those. (Thanks eugaet)

I locked in some hilariously overvalued trade for some weird rare game/accessory/etc that I can pick up for cheap cheap cheap. They didn't accept it. What should I do? (updated 3/9/11)
The truth is that AFS can reject things for any reason they see fit. While some people have managed to get silly things like a $200 credit for some cheerleading game (or for a PS2 - just ask io!), it's sooooooo YMMV that often it's not worth the effort. EXPECT REJECTION ON THINGS THAT ARE CLEARLY MISVALUED. That said, as long as you're willing to risk it, go for it!

What's all this item condition nonsense? And how can I get screwed over by it? (updated 6/9/11)
We're still kinda sussing out the details surrounding the new item condition portion of Amazon Trade-Ins, but it looks like there's a couple things to consider:
Good Condition eligibility (games):
- The video game, original manufacturer packaging and all original elements are included, but shows wear from normal use
- Game still plays perfectly
- Disc may have light scratches and other elements may have minor damage
- Item may have been personalized (marked or identified)

Acceptable eligibility (games):
- Game still plays perfectly
- Item may have been personalized (marked or identified)
- Item may be missing or have irreparable damage to one or all of the following: case, manual, artwork, bundled accessories, UPC

Note that a game will almost certainly not be accepted if it meets any of these conditions:
- Game does not play perfectly
- Disc is cracked
- Marked Not for Resale (or is otherwise marked not for sale)

Consoles/accessories have some slightly different criteria, but the idea is the same.

Did it seriously just ask me if I wanted my game / other item returned if they refuse to give me credit for it? (updated 6/9/11)
Yes, that just happened.

Unless you're purposefully sending them things you deem to be trash, please remember to choose the option that has them return your item to you during the checkout phase.

Who is AFS? (updated 9/14/13)
Amazon Fulfillment Services (previously known as NorAm). Dunno if they changed names, were bought up by Amazon, or what. Not too interested anyhow.

Why does my package jump back and forth between states? (updated 9/14/13)
Look at a map of the involved cities and it'll make sense. Something to do with UPS hubs and proximity to the state border/cities.

Post away!

I don't remember who it was or when I read it, but I remember a CAG posting about how Amazon charged him tax on his initially-completely-paid-off preorder of Borderlands 2: Ultimate Loot Chest, I think?

You may be right. I read somewhere that orders made before the cut off date didn't get taxed. I guess that doesn't mean preorders.

:shock: :bomb: :wall:

NOOOOOOOOOOO--

Do you know when the requirement to pay sales tax will go into effect? I'm REALLY hoping it's at least after the PS4 launch so I don't have to pay an additional $24...
Click to expand...
The plant will not be open until sometime in 2014, but no word on when we have to start paying the sales tax.

Did it actually come originally as a bundle for PS3, or just the keyboard packaged separately from the game? I thought I remembered only the Xbox version being bundled.
Click to expand...
Separate. PS3 was the only platform that it didn't come as a bundle, but Amazon "made up" a bundle by just pairing the two items together and giving a slight discount. If you notice, the marketplace prices are quite high ($150+) even though the individual components are not too expensive ($15 or so for the keyboard + $40 or so for the game). I had the game since release and picked up the keyboard on the cheap new from GS for $20 a while back. I'm a stickler for keeping boxes so took a gamble on the high value and chose the don't return if downgraded option and it paid off.

I was charged tax on the last couple pre orders I had since GA started collecting tax Sept 1st. They have already added tax to my Xbox one preorder also. Not the ps4 yet
Click to expand...
They will on the PS4. If you do anything to the order (update shipping, change cards, put gift card credit on it) it will show the charge. If you don't update the order you will be charged for the tax regardless.

Thank you, My store has a keyboard in stock.

 
Can someone confirm when they get their trade-up Xbox One promo accepted? Whether it automatically takes off the $25 off the select game on Xbox One. Whenever it processes. 

 
Amazon just gave me $50 promo credit for the DS4 / B: TS trade in that I can use on any item! Thanks Amazon for messing up and only allowing the promo on the items that were rejected but no the ones that were accepted. Good for me though, I can use it on any item now.

Wish I could use that credit on my Day One PS4 ($250 paid off with trade in's that I only spent $84 on games for) but oh well. Trading in the 2 Sega Fun Pack's and 2 Capcom Triple Packs (again) but this time to downgrade to acceptable. I only make $10 profit on each but that's $40 more towards my PS4 so no problem.

Either way, looks like I'll be getting my PS4 for half off like I planned.

If you have already gotten the promo on a previous trade it will not give you it again just a heads up.

My last of us was processed today after being received two days ago.

 
Is the Dualshock 4 promo done? I want to cancel and relock The Last of Us, but I only see the Beyond promo on the main trade jn page.

I'll mail it in now if I won't get the DS4 promo by relocking.

I sent them an email because I didn't get the bonus from the promo. They hooked me up and now I can buy an xbox one controller or something else instead.

Hello,

I do understand your concern that you haven't received your promotional certificate.

To make this right for you, I've issued a promotional certificate for $30.00 to your account, which will automatically apply the next time you order an item sold and shipped by Amazon.com.

Your promotional balance doesn't appear in Your Account but will always display when you place an order. You'll see your available promotional balance at checkout when placing an order through the Shopping Cart--this amount will be applied to your next qualifying order automatically and does not require a claim code.

I emailed and they asked I call in. So when I called it the csr kept referring only to the beyond 2 souls promo and issued my account a $20 credit.

I'm going to email them again. Totally seperate email and ask why my trade hasn't been updated to show processed and see if I can get the $30 for the Ds4 that I actually want to order

Lucky! Nice job though! I'm sending in mine again after I get it back from Amazon. Sending in 2 triple packs and 2 sega packs. They are all complete but I doubt they'll accept it as Good b/c all of them are not greatest hits.

Do you guys know that if they process it as the wrong item will they even attempt to downgrade? I know it's up to whoever's reviewing it. If anything and I'm denied again, I'm just going to send it in as acceptable instead of good with no returns.

I really hope they hurry up and return it though. Want to send it out and get the credit before the PS4 comes out.

 
The Code Lyoko I sent in w/ my Trivial Pursuit's has been sitting at processing for 2 weeks now. GG Amazon. I'll have to call soon; I'm guessing they'll just give me $50 in promotional credit or something... Yay AMZ!

Isn't it time to contact and get full value? That's what happens when they loose them. Chat them up and I bet you get the full amount.

So I went and chatted it up with a CS rep and guess what?! They lost my package so I got everything in the package for the trade grade I put it for. Person basically knew exactly what had happened it seems. The CS even explained to me how the trade in process works after you ship it off. A exact month in waiting but a decent payout.

That's like triple dipping on promos.
 
They'll give you the discounts when it's done. You've taken a lot more than you should have gotten. Don't ask for more.

They take notes on your account. They'll see $50 in discounts and $50 in promotional credit from the same trade on top of what they'll give you for the trade.

Ah ok. I have only contacted them like 2 times in the past but I wouldn't want to raise ant flags. Do you think I should wait until the 30 days passes(hopefully it's processed by then) to contact them again

Are you sure? These people have given me credit on returns and then turned around and gave me the return money. (Third Party Seller) I feel like they just hand this credit out whenever they feel like it. They give me promo credits all the time and never seem to concerned about it. I mean they are always for their promos not working but they never make it out like I'm robbing them.

Anyone had success trading in The Last Of Us and getting full credit? I bought a like new copy from Amazon, played it and want to dump it back, but it didn't come with a manual or inserts (presumably the code was used + digital manual only?).... Makes me worry about a reject or downgrade.
 
Sent in two copies of  :ps3: Disney Infinity. Tracking says they were delivered the 24th however Amazon says that they are still not yet received. Has this happened to anyone else?

They keep track of everything. It takes a lot to trigger a ban but it does happen.

It's less than a week of waiting. Just wait. After the end of the month, you can contact them with certainty because their system won't automatically give you the discount.

I had a problem with a trade not getting promotional credit because of their glitch but I got my credit because I contacted them after it was accepted and they could see that something was wrong.
 
So I have a new question ,I shipped my PS3 GTA V edition and 2 copies of the Last of us (Bought one and then got another as a B day gift) on  Tuesday (October 22nd) and it was delivered on Thursday (Oct 24th) , sometime in the afternoon on Thursday it's status wen't to processing and has since then not changed at all. 

For the condition of the product's are good to like new to say the least coming with all of there original boxes/game case, with cover art, manuals, cord's cetera. I set the PS3 GTA V edition condition to be "like new" and my 2 copies of the Last of Us to be set on "Good". Two thing's are for certain I know for a fact that the PS3 GTA V edition I traded in I did not place the DLC pamphlet for the free 30 day trail of PS + in it, since I used it and thought there was no point. Also one of the copies of the last of us has a small bar code sticker on it's back side since I bought it used. Other then that there are no fault's in the product what so ever or even missing any manuals, even when packing the box for the 3 item's I put those small hand sized plastic bag's full of air to make sure no damage was done to them in the shipping process.

Now do you think I will get my amazon gift card value on Monday? Tuesday? Longer? Or worse yet deny my trade?

I do apologize for the silly question I merely ask out of nervousness since this is my first time doing an amazon trade. 

P.S. What's the next status after Processing? And then the status after that?

So I have a new question ,I shipped my PS3 GTA V edition and 2 copies of the Last of us (Bought one and then got another as a B day gift) on Tuesday (October 22nd) and it was delivered on Thursday (Oct 24th) , sometime in the afternoon on Thursday it's status wen't to processing and has since then not changed at all.

For the condition of the product's are good to like new to say the least coming with all of there original boxes/game case, with cover art, manuals, cord's cetera. I set the PS3 GTA V edition condition to be "like new" and my 2 copies of the Last of Us to be set on "Good". Two thing's are for certain I know for a fact that the PS3 GTA V edition I traded in I did not place the DLC pamphlet for the free 30 day trail of PS + in it, since I used it and thought there was no point. Also one of the copies of the last of us has a small bar code sticker on it's back side since I bought it used. Other then that there are no fault's in the product what so ever or even missing any manuals, even when packing the box for the 3 item's I put those small hand sized plastic bag's full of air to make sure no damage was done to them in the shipping process.

Now do you think I will get my amazon gift card value on Monday? Tuesday? Longer? Or worse yet deny my trade?

I do apologize for the silly question I merely ask out of nervousness since this is my first time doing an amazon trade.

P.S. What's the next status after Processing? And then the status after that?

It's not unusual for these things to take more than a week. I just got paid for 2x Disney Infinity Starter Bundles - those took 7 days. Then a Rock Band 3 + keyboard bundle took about 8 days. So, I wouldn't get too worried about it. The length of time doesn't really have any bearing on if you will get paid/not paid/downgraded. Just hang in there.

In case anyone expected otherwise, sending time is back to normal. Submitted a trade this morning and it says 'Ship by 11/3'.

Thanks for the tip. Just cancelled and resubmitted.

Does anyone have any idea how long for Amazon to return a trade in? Mine was denied 4 days ago and no tracking number is available. I'm going to resend it in and just have it downgraded to acceptable. I need it now though. Want to have this all processed before the PS4 comes out so I can apply my credit to that.

Only have $180+ left on my pre-order. After these trade in's (2x Capcom Triple Pack, 2x Sega Fun Pack), I should have either $100 (if acceptable) left or $80 (if Good). Can't wait. Hoping to do a few more trade in's to get it paid off.

Who else is only spending $100+ on a PS4 with trade in's, promotions, etc.?
