Payment options
When you sell (or trade) your camera gear to KEH, you can choose between two payment options: a Trade Voucher or a Digital Cash Payment. In both cases, payment is issued by email shortly after you accept your offer. Whichever option you choose, you can still take advantage of manufacturer trade-in bonuses available through KEH.
1. Trade Voucher
Choosing a trade voucher gives you the best overall value for your gear. You'll receive your full appraised offer value plus a 5% KEH bonus to use toward KEH Certified™ Pre-Owned gear.
You can also use your trade voucher to trade up to the latest gear from your favorite brands and take advantage of any active manufacturer trade-in bonuses, including those available exclusively through KEH. Simply call a KEH Certified™ Pro at 1-800-342-5534 to apply your manufacturer bonus to your new gear purchase.
Your trade voucher will be delivered via email and can be redeemed:
- Online at KEH.com
- Over the phone with a KEH Sales Specialist
- In-store at our retail location
To apply your trade voucher toward a purchase with a manufacturer trade-in bonus, orders must be placed by phone at 1-800-342-5534. For added convenience, you can save your voucher to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for easy access anytime.
More details about trade vouchers:
- One-time use with automatic reissue: Each voucher is single-use, but if you don't spend the full amount in one transaction, a new voucher will automatically be emailed to you for the remaining balance. The 90-day redemption window restarts with each new voucher.
- 90-day validity: You have 90 days from issuance to use your trade voucher. After that, any remaining balance, other than any remaining trade bonus, will be converted to a cash payment.
- Redemption order: The appraised value of your gear is applied first when redeeming a voucher. The bonus amount can only be used once the full value of your gear has been applied.
- Cash option: You can exchange your voucher for cash at any time and receive the remaining balance of your gear's appraised value. Any unused bonus will be forfeited when opting for cash.
2. Digital Cash Payment
Prefer cash? You'll receive a secure KEH payment email from our financial partner Dash Solutions ([email protected]) shortly after accepting your offer. Note: International customers, please call us to accept your offer.
Follow the link to verify your identity and access your funds. It's fast, secure, and private (no sensitive information required).
You can:
- Keep funds on your digital payment card, or
- Transfer instantly and free to your preferred account via debit card, ACH, PayPal, or Venmo.
- Prefer paper? Request a check by mail for a small fee.
- International cash payments can only be completed by phone.
Funds can also be added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet with one click.
Even if you choose cash instead of a trade voucher, you can still participate in manufacturer trade-in bonuses when purchasing their latest gear through KEH. Simply call a KEH Certified™ Pro at 1-800-342-5534 to apply your manufacturer bonus to your new gear purchase during the promotional period. Orders must be placed before the manufacturer's trade-in bonus expiration date.
How to sell
Most customers sell to us using our online Quote Wizard, available 24/7.
If you need additional assistance, you can reach our Purchasing team by phone at 1-800-DIAL-KEH or by email at [email protected]. Our knowledgeable staff will gladly guide you through the quote creation process.
For the most personalized selling experience, you can schedule a video chat with one of our expert Buyers. They can visually inspect your gear to help identify it and assess its condition.
Once you've selected an item in the Quote Wizard, you'll be prompted to choose a condition grade for your gear. KEH uses a cosmetic grading system with the following categories: Like New Minus (LN-), Excellent Plus (EX+), Excellent (EX), and Bargain (BGN). Please note that all items must be fully functional; the grading system applies to cosmetic condition only.
Quoted values remain valid for 14 days from the date the quote is submitted. All quotes are based on the condition grade and description you provide. The final offer price will be determined after our technicians receive and inspect your equipment. The estimated quote does not include any repair costs that may be necessary to restore your gear to working condition. If repairs are required, their cost will be deducted from the final offer. In some cases, we may be unable to extend an offer, particularly for broken or outdated items. When this happens, we're happy to assist you in responsibly recycling your gear.
How to trade
Better Trade™ by KEH makes trading simple, flexible, and more rewarding than anywhere else. When you trade with KEH you can elect to get a trade voucher for the full appraised value of your gear, with a 5% bonus to use on KEH Certified™ Pre-Owned gear, and the confidence that comes from working with the most trusted name in trade since 1979.
Whether you elect to receive cash or the trade voucher (see the article on payment options for more information on how trade vouchers work), you can also take advantage of manufacturer trade-in bonuses on the latest gear from your favorite brands.
To participate in a manufacturer trade-in bonus (including one of the KEH exclusive manufacturers' bonuses):
- You do not need to select a trade voucher. Both voucher and cash payment customers are eligible.
- Orders must be placed over the phone with a KEH Certified Pro at 1-800-342-5534.
- Once you've shipped your gear and have validated tracking confirmation, you can call right away to place your order or wait for your final offer confirmation.
Please note: manufacturer trade-in bonuses are limited-time offers, so orders must be placed before the bonus expires.
Shipping your gear
All quotes valued at $100 or more and submitted from within the contiguous United States are eligible for a prepaid FedEx shipping label.
Quotes under $100, as well as shipments originating from Hawaii, Alaska, APO/FPO addresses, or international locations, are not eligible for a prepaid label. In these cases, you will be responsible for arranging and covering the cost of shipping.
For international shipments, additional import or customs fees may apply. These fees are the customer's responsibility and will be deducted from the final offer after the inspection and evaluation are completed.
For online quotes, you can print your shipping label and documents directly from the quote confirmation page. A link to print your shipping label will also be included in our quote confirmation email. For phone or email quotes, your shipping label and required documents will be emailed to you with all necessary instructions.
If you're shipping multiple boxes, do not duplicate the same label. Please call us at 1-800-DIAL-KEH and we'll provide separate shipping labels for each box. Shipping costs incurred outside our label system are not reimbursable.
Packaging instructions
- Retain a list of all items and their serial numbers for your records.
- Include a copy of your Quote Wizard evaluation inside the box.
- Package items securely using a properly sized box and padding materials like bubble wrap. KEH is not responsible for damage caused during shipping (whether because of inadequate packaging or otherwise).
- Write your quote number on the outside of the box.
- If shipping multiple boxes, label them clearly (e.g., 1/3, 2/3, 3/3).
- We recommend using insured and trackable shipping methods. KEH is not liable for lost or damaged items sent without our prepaid FedEx label and tracking.
- If using a KEH shipping label, drop off your package in person at an authorized FedEx location and request a receipt with tracking.
- KEH does not accept COD shipments.
Lithium-ion battery shipments
- For shipments containing camera gear powered by batteries: print this label (PDF) and affix it to the outside of the box.
- For shipments containing only batteries, or shipments not containing the device that is powered by a battery: print this label (PDF) and affix it to the outside of the box.
- Federal regulations require a warning label for all shipments containing batteries. Failure to do so may prevent proper shipment, resulting in delays or returned packages.

International
KEH Camera welcomes quote submissions from customers worldwide. However, we do not provide prepaid shipping labels for addresses outside the United States. International customers are responsible for all shipping costs, and we strongly recommend using a trackable, insured shipping service such as FedEx, UPS, or DHL.
International shipments may be subject to tariffs, import taxes, customs duties, and brokerage fees, both when shipping to KEH and, if necessary, when returning your equipment. These charges are the sole responsibility of the sender. KEH has no control over these fees and cannot estimate them; we encourage you to contact your local customs office for detailed information.
Upon delivery at KEH, all international shipments are placed in a holding period for 14 days, pending any information on import taxes, customs duties, and fees that were potentially charged to our company.
To expedite this waiting period, we would appreciate it if you could send a copy of the customs duties and fees you have paid to the shipping carrier chosen for this shipment to [email protected].
If any fees were charged to KEH as the payor of this international shipment, the customs duties and fees will be deducted from your pending quote. However, if you choose not to proceed with the sale after KEH's final evaluation, you will be responsible for all return shipping charges as well as any applicable duties, taxes, and fees.
Please also note:
- KEH is not responsible for currency exchange rate fluctuations.
- We are legally prohibited from marking international shipments as "gifts."
