What It Is

AnkaufPerPost is a German “sell by post” service for users who want to sell items such as jewelry, gold, precious metals, coins, banknotes, diamonds, gemstones, luxury watches, dental gold, and silverware. It is not a traditional e-commerce storefront platform, but rather a C2B buyback/consignment front end: users describe their items and send them in, the platform authenticates and evaluates them, then provides a purchase offer. If the user accepts, payment is completed; if not, the items are returned.

Core Capabilities

The platform emphasizes fairness, convenience, security, and speed. For appraisal, jewelry is estimated based on precious-metal purity, weight, and the current daily metal price; unmarked or foreign gold jewelry can be tested using RFA/Goldscope methods. Coins are assessed by numismatic experts, diamonds are valued by appraisers according to the 4Cs, and materials such as coral and amber are also subject to laboratory analysis. For logistics, items can be collected at the user’s door by partner carriers, and transport arranged by the platform is insured. Users may also package the items themselves and send them to the Berlin address. Offline, users can visit the Berlin store for valuation or sell directly for cash.

Pricing and Fees

The website does not publish a fixed commission or uniform discount rate. The disclosed information is that precious metals are usually priced based on purity, weight, and the daily market price, with refining costs deducted; in some cases, set stones are not compensated. In principle, there is no minimum quantity for precious metals, with purchases accepted from 1 gram. If the user does not accept the offer, the platform promises to return the items free of charge.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are a clear process, broad category coverage, and convenient postal selling for individual users. Transport insurance and free return shipping after declining an offer lower the barrier to trying the service, while the physical store adds an extra layer of trust. The drawbacks are that payment methods, payout times, offer-calculation formulas, and refining-fee standards are not fully disclosed. The service is clearly focused on local German and German-speaking users, and it does not provide the storefront, order, inventory, or cross-border fulfillment functions commonly needed by e-commerce sellers.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is better suited to individuals in Germany, collectors, and institutional clients with small amounts of dental gold who want to sell unused valuable items. It is not suitable as a cross-border e-commerce sales platform. Access from mainland China is not covered in the source text, so it is considered unknown.
