A less awkward way to sell
The value is in the PlayStation 5, not the message thread.
Private marketplaces can work, but they often involve writing an advert, answering similar questions several times, arranging viewings and dealing with uncertain buyers. Zarax gives you a single route from the first description through to inspection and payment.
The process is deliberately straightforward. Share accurate information and clear photographs, then we can decide whether the item is something we want to buy. Read how a Zarax quotation progresses before you begin if you would like the full picture.

Customer feedback
Real experiences from people who sold their PlayStation 5 through Zarax.
I sold my spare PS5 with its controller and stand. The checks were thorough and the payment was as agreed.
Zarax wanted the model version, storage details and clear photos of the casing and controller. I mentioned a sticky trigger before the quote. The console passed inspection and payment arrived by bank transfer.
The PS5 was a second console that barely got used, so keeping it made little sense. I photographed the serial label, ports, white panels and controller, and explained that the right trigger occasionally felt sticky. Zarax assessed the system with that detail included and agreed a figure. I packed everything carefully and followed the delivery instructions. Their inspection confirmed the condition, and the agreed sum reached my account.
Sold the PS5 after realising it had become a very large streaming box. The process was clear and properly documented. 🎮
My console came with the stand and cables, but the controller had a small crack near the headphone socket. I showed it closely and avoided surprises.
A change in work hours meant my PS5 was barely switched on, so keeping it felt wasteful. The white panels had a few grey marks from the media unit and the controller battery was no longer brilliant. I shared the model version, storage details and serial label, then reset the console. Zarax assessed it, sent secure delivery instructions and paid the agreed amount once received.
Useful questions
Before you part with your PlayStation 5.
These answers cover the parts of the process people usually want to confirm before requesting a quote.
Value my PlayStation 5Start with the brand, full model number, specifications and an honest description of the condition. Add clear photographs of the item, label, accessories and any faults.
Potentially, yes. Acceptance depends on the item and the fault. Explain exactly what happens when it is switched on or used, and show the damaged area clearly.
Not always. The original packaging, power supply, remote, manuals or matching accessories can provide useful context, so list everything that is included.
Do not send the item before receiving confirmation. If we wish to proceed, the receiving location and delivery instructions are shared with you privately.
Payment follows receipt or collection and inspection. If the item matches the agreed details, Zarax pays the agreed amount by bank transfer or PayPal. If anything differs materially, we contact you first.
