Selling

Play Beyond provides a fuss-free and enjoyable service by taking away all the pain points involved in typical resale methods. All you have to do is pass your toys to us and wait for earnings to be credited to you! We will do all the heavy lifting including photography, sanitizing, price setting, listing, communication with potential buyers, selling and delivery. There will also be additional marketing efforts in place to sell your products including showcase at events
etc.

All these enables you to easily do your part in sustainable living and contribute to a greener future for our children by avoiding waste and saving toys from going into the landfills.

We accept children’s toys for newborns up to 12 year olds from our accepted brands list.

We accept only brand new to gently used toys, which are fully functioning with no
missing parts. For the safety of our children, we strictly do not accept any toys with chipped or broken parts.

Donating

Thank you for your generosity! If you choose to donate instead of receiving cash/credit for the sale of your preloved toys, we will facilitate the donation on your behalf. When your toy is sold, the earnings which would have been otherwise credited to you, will be donated to Red Cross.

250% tax deductions for your donations will also be processed for you automatically.

You will be informed via email of these updates.

Please note that donations of preloved toys should also be within our accepted toys and brands. Kindly refer to the ‘Selling’ FAQ and accepted brands list for more details.

We are supporting Singapore Red Cross with donations and had thorough discussions around the best form of support we can provide.

In that regard, we are facilitating the sale of preloved toys on Play Beyond and providing Red Cross with the proceeds as donation. This would allow Red Cross greater flexibility on use of the cash for their various causes. In addition, this would enable us to provide tax deductions to donors.

For unaccepted or unsold toys which sellers opt to donate, we may pass them on to Red Cross as suitable.

Tax deductions would be 250% of the donation. Donation amount is based on earnings which would have been otherwise credited to you if not donated.

Please refer to ‘Selling’ FAQ for more details around earnings

When filling up the seller form, please choose ‘donate’ and tick ‘opt in for tax deductions’ and provide your NRIC/FIN/UEN number.

As we are channeling donations to Singapore Red Cross and working with them for the tax deductions, please note that if you would like to receive tax deductions, Play Beyond would have to share information such as full name, contact, donation amount, and NRIC/FIN/UEN number with Singapore Red Cross.

Singapore Red Cross respects donors' confidentiality and personal data. The main purpose for which SRC collects your data is to process your donation for tax deduction. Please view their Privacy Policy at redcross.sg/data-protection-and-privacy-policy.
