- Is a phone number or email still linked to the account?
- What exactly gets handed over — login only, or also recovery details?
- How long has the seller held the account?
- Has the account had any prior issues (flags, disputes, previous transfers)?
- What's the expected handoff timeline?
- Is the price negotiable?
- Does anything else come bundled with the account (followers, linked servers, etc.)?
- What happens if something's wrong immediately after handoff?
FAQ
Is it rude to ask a lot of questions before paying?
No — a legitimate seller expects it. Evasiveness in response to reasonable questions is itself a warning sign (see our red flags guide).
