Early AccessTM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an Early Access privilege?
An Early Access is a one-time privilege that allows you to enter in line for a pre-release item before publication date. You can get an early spot in line for that item, and be among the first to receive the title from other members as soon as it's published!
How can I earn an Early Access?
The Early Access privilege is granted to sellers who trade Bonus Items during the first 30 days after publication date. This means that if you trade any of the items listed in the Bonus Items list (video games | movies), and receive positive feedback for the trade, you receive one Early Access.
To be eligible, the trade must start within the first 30 days from publication date, and the item must be traded in Full Package condition. Items traded in a condition other than Full Package, or after 30 days, are not eligible.
What items qualify for an Early Access privilege?
All Bonus Items (video games | movies) qualify for Early Access when traded within the first 30 days from release date. These include hot titles for both games and movies, including titles with expected high demand upon publication date. Remember, the item must be traded in Full Package condition.
Where can I see the Early Access privilege(s) that I have earned?
When you earn an Early Access privilege, it shows up in your account page. There you can find a sub-section where you can see how many Early Access(es) you have earned and, if it's the case, how many you have already spent and for what items. In addition, once you have earned an Early Access, the system activates additional stats for a given item, to show you any other early requests already placed for an item you may be interested in. This Early Access-restricted trading info section is available only to users who have earned at least one Early Access that is still unused.
How can I use my Early Access?
You can spend your Early Access on any item that is a future release (pre-release items) of your choice. Just visit that item's page, and select the Request button. It will open a special Early Access request page. Your request will be added to the request line in a pre-release state, and it will be automatically activated upon release date. You can spend an Early Access on a same category item for which you earned it, that is if you earn an Early Access for trading a video game, you can spend that Early Access only to request a video game pre-release.

You may also want to know that...
An Early Access is valid for a single request only. However, if you spend an Early Access to request an item and later delete the request, you get your Early Access back for another use, as long as the item you have originally spent the Early Access on has not been published. Any Early Access spent to request an item is permanently used (and therefore is not returnable under any condition) on or after the item's publication date. If you delete a request entered with an Early access you lose your position in line.
Any Early Access spent to request an item that is later deemed 'untradeable' by Goozex (or that is removed from the Goozex system), is automatically returned to the user, and can be spent to request another item.
In order to be able to use an Early Access on any item, your user account must be in good standing. That means: a) positive feedback score, b) no recent negative trades, and c) account not locked or under review by Goozex. If you cannot use an Early Access because of these restrictions, you will be able to use it in the future as soon as these restrictions are solved.
What an Early Access is NOT?
An Early Access is not a way to cut the line on any given item: in fact, it only works on pre-releases and cannot be used on items that already have active requests. And it is not a special privilege given only to some users: indeed, anyone can earn an Early Access by simply trading a hot title during the eligible period. One final disclaimer: as with any other requests on Goozex.com, Early Access cannot guarantee that you will receive any specific item from the Goozex community, nor that you will receive it in a timely manner.
