We buy gold online across mainland Spain and the Balearics
We buy gold online: sell your gold without leaving home
A 100% online gold buyer: free insured pack, XRF laboratory valuation, written offer and bank transfer within 24 hours. No shop, no haggling, and free return if you decline.
Search "compro oro" in Spain and you find two models: the high-street shop, where you hand over your pieces and negotiate at the counter, and the online gold buyer, where you send them insured, they are valued in a laboratory and you receive a written offer you can accept or decline at your own pace.
OroSeguro is the second. We buy gold, silver, platinum and palladium from private individuals across mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands by insured post, and pay by bank transfer within 24 hours of you accepting the valuation.
What gold is bought at today
The valuation starts from the market quote at the time of valuation. These are the real-time per-gram references for pure gold and for 18k, the fineness of almost all Spanish jewellery:
Spot quote converted to euros per gram, refreshed every 5 minutes. Metal value, not an offer. All metals →

Online gold buyer or high-street shop: how they differ
| OroSeguro (online) | Gold-buying shop | |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation | Laboratory: calibrated scale and XRF spectrometer, written breakdown | At the counter, often with a touchstone or acid |
| Quote applied | Official LBMA reference of the day, no hidden margins | Set by each shop; varies widely between them |
| Pressure to sell | None: the offer is accepted or declined from home | Face-to-face negotiation with the pieces already on the counter |
| If you decline | Free insured return | You take the pieces home |
| Travel | None; Correos or courier to your door | Carry the pieces to the shop |
| Payment | Bank transfer within 24 h of accepting | Cash or transfer on the spot |
What we buy
Any precious-metal item, in any condition: broken, odd, unhallmarked or set with stones. It is paid for its real metal content, not its shape.
"Gold buyers near me": does it need to be nearby?
No. An online gold buyer works the same from Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Málaga or a village with no jeweller: the pack arrives by Correos, you hand it in at the nearest office or request home collection, and the valuation is done in the same laboratory for everyone.
The real difference from the shop down the road is not distance: it is that you receive the offer in writing, at the day’s quote, and decide with nobody standing in front of you.

Frequently asked questions about selling gold online
- What is an online gold buyer?
- A service that buys gold and other precious metals from private individuals without a physical shop: you send the pieces in an insured pack, they are valued in a laboratory and you receive a written offer. If you accept, you are paid by transfer; if not, they are returned free.
- How much do you pay per gram of gold?
- The valuation is calculated on the official LBMA quote of the day the pieces are analysed, applied to the exact weight and the real purity measured with XRF. You can check today’s quote by karat on our price pages and estimate the value of your pieces with the calculator.
- Is it safe to post gold to an online buyer?
- Yes. The pack includes a sealed bag with a unique identifier, real-time tracking and Generali insurance of €50,000 (extendable to €100,000 on request). The return leg, if you decline, is insured the same way.
- Do you buy gold in any condition?
- Yes: broken jewellery, a single earring, chains without clasps, unhallmarked pieces, dental gold or watches that no longer work. You are paid for the precious-metal content, verified with XRF analysis.
- How long until I am paid?
- We issue the transfer within 24 hours of you accepting the offer. The exact date it lands depends on your bank.
- Can I sell from the Canary Islands?
- For now the insured shipping service covers mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands. If you are in the Canaries, write to us and we will tell you the options available.
