A few quick checks separate a real listing from bait: does the price roughly match what similar handles actually go for, does the seller answer direct questions clearly, and is the handoff process explained rather than left vague.

FAQ

Is a listing without a price shown automatically suspicious?

Not automatically — some marketplaces reveal price on click by design. It's worth being cautious specifically when a seller won't state a price directly when asked.

How do I actually buy a username I see on TAILGATED?

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.

What payment method does TAILGATED use?

Crypto-only. See the Terms of Service for the full payment and delivery policy, including the sale-finality and 72-hour issue window.
