Who We Are
Gold Buyers Online is a female-founded Australian business making it easy to sell your gold from the comfort of home. Since 2014, we’ve offered a safe, simple, and fully insured mail-in service that helps everyday Australians turn their unwanted jewellery into something more useful. No hidden fees, no pressure - just an honest, hassle-free way to declutter with confidence.
One Woman’s Mission to Make Selling Gold Easy, Empowering and Honest
Gold Buyers Online was born out of a simple idea from Queensland mum Tanya McDonough: What if selling gold could be safe, easy and actually feel good?
Tanya wasn’t a jeweller. She wasn’t from the pawnbroking world. She was a regular working mum trying to keep up with family life, bills, and the ever-growing cost of living. She knew firsthand the pressure many Australian women face juggling work, parenting, and household responsibilities. So when she saw a way to help families unlock hidden cash from broken and unused jewellery, she took a leap and built a company that would go on to inject over $1.5 million back into the pockets of everyday Australians.
A Female-Led, Family-First Approach
Since 2014, Tanya’s goal has remained clear: Make selling gold online safe, discreet, and accessible to all Australians, especially women who are time-poor, overwhelmed, or living in regional areas.
Forget awkward pawn shop visits or haggling for value. With Gold Buyers Online, you can now:
✓ Sell your old or broken gold jewellery from home
✓ Access a free, secure, mail-in pack
✓ Receive a transparent, no-obligation appraisal
✓ Get paid within 24 hours
Tanya’s business model flipped a male-dominated industry on its head with integrity and transparency. From tangled chains to single earrings, every piece of gold gets the respect, and the price it deserves.
Real Cash. Real People. Real Relief for Australian Households
Thousands of Australian women and families have used Gold Buyers Online to declutter, reduce financial stress, and fund meaningful moments, from holiday spending to unexpected bills.
“We’ve had mums fund everything from dance costumes to surf lessons, simply by clearing out broken gold they didn’t even realise was valuable,” says Tanya.
This isn’t just gold trading it’s real people, real stories, real money back in the hands of those who need it.
Since opening in 2014, we’ve returned over $1.5 million to Australians through our gold mail-in service.
