Buying is a sequence. Skipping a step in the explanation does not make it optional in the product.
Account and eligibility
You sign in to the GXLD application. The application asks for the eligibility check it actually runs. Today that check is synthetic, and live buying is closed. This website does not take an order.
Funding
You fund a specific purchase in euro. The payment is recorded as money. It is not recorded as gold.
The quote
When a quote is available it shows the euro amount, the grams, the price used, the costs and when the quote stops being usable. Sandbox numbers are marked illustrative. They are not a price list for this website. Accepting a quote is not the same event as receiving title.
Ownership confirmation
Settled grams appear when the required title evidence is recorded. Until then the purchase can remain pending. A pending purchase is not a balance you can sell.
The product boundaries are on Gold. The rights are on Ownership. Costs are on Fees.
