StockX does not publish a timeline for deceased-account handling because it has no dedicated estate process. Seller proceeds post to the StockX Wallet the same day a sale clears verification, and the wallet balance can be withdrawn at any time (PayPal arrives in roughly 30 minutes; bank/ACH typically takes a few business days). A data-deletion request submitted through the StockX Trust Center is completed within 30 days of confirmation. Any case handled through Customer Service depends on their response time, which StockX targets at within 1 hour and 24 hours at the latest.

How to request a transfer
Follow these steps to initiate a transfer of StockX balance after the account holder's death:

- •Confirm a final balance of zero before closing the account
Required Documents
- Death certificate (certified copy)
- Documentation showing your authority over the estate (for example, Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration)

Frequently asked questions
No. The StockX Terms grant a personal, non-transferable license, and the Agreement is personal to the account holder and may not be assigned or transferred for any reason, including by operation of law. StockX publishes no deceased-account or inheritance process. The account itself cannot be inherited, so the practical step for an estate is to access the account, recover the StockX Wallet balance, and resolve any active listings before closing the account.
Seller proceeds sit in the StockX Wallet (StockX Balance). If you have the login, you can withdraw the available balance at any time to the decedent's linked bank account, PayPal, Venmo, or debit card. If a sale is still in progress, the payout posts to the wallet once the item clears StockX verification. Cancel any open Bids so the estate is not committed to a purchase, withdraw the balance, and then close the account.
StockX does not publish a dedicated deceased-account or estate-claim process. The route is to contact StockX Customer Service (chat, phone for US users, or email) to report the death and ask how to release any pending payout, then submit a deletion request through the StockX Trust Center. Be prepared to provide a death certificate and documentation showing your authority over the estate, such as Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration.
A sale already in progress continues to completion: once the item passes StockX verification, the payout posts to the StockX Wallet, where it can be withdrawn. Active Asks (listings) can be left to sell and collect proceeds, or removed. Active Bids should be cancelled, because a Bid becomes a binding purchase if it matches a seller's Ask. A Bid can be withdrawn at any point up until it matches.
After recovering any StockX Wallet balance and resolving open Bids and Asks, submit an account deletion request through the StockX Trust Center at stockx.com/data-access-request. StockX states these requests are completed within 30 days, and Customer Service can also remove stored addresses and payment methods. Deletion is irreversible, and StockX retains some transaction records after deletion for tax and legal reasons.
After the transfer is complete, the recipient can use the balance according to the program's standard terms. Document the deceased account holder's details to make this process easier for your executor or family.
