3. How to get paid with Decluttr
Of course, the big question is always about payment—how and when and how much? Decluttr will receive your items and assess the quality of each. At that time a check will be issued for the total amount of your items. The check will be sent to the address you provided and the name you registered with (so make sure you use your legal name associated with your account).
Note: In order for Decluttr to accept an item, it must play through without skips or stops (minor surface scratches from wear and tear are usually okay) and still have all its artwork, booklets, and covers.
