Different types of orders

When you sell silver via GoldRepublic, you have the option to set different types of orders. 

  • Market order: With a market order, you sell your silver immediately at the current buy price offered by GoldRepublic. The transaction is executed instantly at the best price available at that moment. This is the fastest and most direct way to sell your silver.
  • Limit order: With a limit order, you set your own minimum price at which you want to sell. The order is only executed once the silver price reaches or exceeds the limit you have entered. This gives you control, but it can mean that your order is not executed immediately if the silver market price does not meet your condition.
  • Amount-based order: You can choose to set a sell order for a specific monetary amount. In that case, the platform automatically calculates how much silver needs to be sold at that moment to realise the specified amount, based on the current silver price.
  • Volume-based order: It is also possible to place an order based on a specific volume of silver, for example a number of kilos or specific silver bars. This is particularly useful if you want to sell a specific portion of your silver holdings, regardless of the proceeds.

Costs of selling silver bullion

Are you selling your silver bullion back to GoldRepublic? Here you'll find the current silver bid price we offer. The bid price is slightly lower than the current market price. 

You'll also pay 1% transaction costs on the silver you sell. This amount is automatically deducted, and the remaining balance is paid into your GoldRepublic account. You can then reinvest this (immediately or later) in another precious metal via GoldRepublic, or simply transfer it back to your linked bank account.

How is the sell price of silver determined?

The sell price of silver at GoldRepublic continuously tracks the international silver markets. This price moves constantly based on demand and supply. We use fully transparent pricing, so you always receive a fair price.

As with gold, there is also a difference between the purchase and sell price of silver (bid and ask price). This difference is known as the spread and arises from the margin applied by suppliers and dealers, as well as the market dynamics of supply and demand.

This is why you receive slightly less than the current rate when selling, and pay slightly more when buying.

Have you, besides silver, also bought gold and/or platinum via GoldRepublic? The buyback guarantee also applies to selling gold and selling platinum, provided you purchased these precious metals via GoldRepublic.
