How Swap works

Send the games you've played. Get the ones you haven't.

What you send counts towards what you get. One order, one amount: pay only the extra, or we pay you the rest.

  • Local Swap in NSW 2049
  • Post Swap Australia-wide
Swap · example
You send
$40

Your item

You pay $5
You get
$45

Our game

Swap one for one, $5 extra

You get $45 − you send $40 = $5 extra

01 / The rule

Your games count towards ours

Every game you send has a swap value: what it counts for today. Add up what you get, take away what you send, and that's the one amount for the whole order. Two more swaps at today's prices:

By Repo Credits, PayID or PayPal — you choose at checkout.

$0

Same value? Just Swap

When what you send matches what you get, there's nothing to pay. In the shop, a game marked ⇄ Just Swap available can go this way.

Prices and swap values change with the market. The checkout always shows the final amount before you pay.

  3. 3

    See one amount, then check out

    The preview adds everything up as one amount. Nothing is charged until you check out.

03 / Handing over

Pick how your games change hands

You choose at checkout. Here's the same swap each way: our game at $45, yours worth $40.

  1. 1

    Local Swap or Post Swap

    Local Swap, in NSW 2049. After you order, pick a time or we'll arrange one with you. Your item is checked with you and you leave with ours.

    You pay $5 by card or PayPal now, or in person when you come to collect.

    Post Swap works anywhere in Australia: step 2.

    Send yours first: $5 plus postage, by card. We post ours once yours passes our check; if it doesn't, the order is cancelled and refunded. The swap price is locked when you pay. Post your game within 4 days of getting your QR code or label and we honour it after our check; if it isn't on its way by then, the swap closes and you're refunded.

    Get yours now: $45 plus postage, by card or PayPal. Ours ships straight away and we pay you $40 once yours passes. If it doesn't, you keep ours, we don't pay for yours, and we'll arrange its return with you. The swap price is locked when you pay. Post your game within 4 days of getting your QR code or label; if it isn't on its way by then, the swap closes, you keep the game you bought, and it's paid in full.

    Preorders & On its way: Send yours first, by post or Local Drop-off; collect yours or have it posted when it's in. How preorders work →

  2. 2

    Send us your game

    Our prepaid postage is free for a swap during our introductory offer. Show the QR code (valid for 4 days) at any AusPost post office and staff print the shipping label, or print the label yourself and drop the parcel in a street box. If every game you send is a No Regret Swap game, it costs the Standard post price, unless it's the first parcel you send us.

    Postage for the game we send you is on Shipping & Delivery.

Good to know

Questions people ask

What can I send?

Nintendo Switch games that work, in their original case with the cover artwork (we don't take them without it), and swap-ready accessories.

Everything you send is checked: with you at a Local Swap, or when your parcel reaches us. What we accept →

Can I swap several games at once?

Yes. Send one or more and pick one or more: it's still one order with one amount.

How do you pay me when my games are worth more?

Once your games pass our check we pay you the rest, by Repo Credits, PayID or PayPal — you choose at checkout. Repo Credits need a free account.

Changed my mind about a game I got?

A pre-owned game you get in a swap comes with No Regret Swap too (unless you got it through No Regret Swap itself): swap it for another within 2 weeks. How No Regret Swap works →
