Buying your first OG username is simpler than it sounds, but it helps to know the shape of the process before you start: pick a listing, message the seller, agree on payment, get the handoff.
Decide platform first (Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Snapchat, X), then length/budget — shorter costs more, so it's worth knowing your ceiling before you start browsing.
Look at whether it's tagged as having no phone number linked (cleaner handoff), any follower count listed, and the description for anything the seller flagged.
There's no cart/checkout for handles like this — you message the seller to confirm it's still available and agree on payment.
Ask exactly how the account details will be delivered and how long it should take, so you know what "normal" looks like once you've paid. See our handoff guide for what a typical delivery looks like, and how to avoid scams before sending anything.
Open the vault, pick a listed username, and DM the contact handle shown on the site to arrange payment — there's no cart/checkout, it's a direct conversation with the seller.
Crypto-only. See the Terms of Service for the full payment and delivery policy, including the sale-finality and 72-hour issue window.
