Crypto is the dominant payment method across this market. It's less about preference and more about risk: sellers are handing over something that can't easily be "returned" the way physical goods can, so payment methods with strong chargeback protections tend to be avoided.

Why chargebacks are the core issue

A buyer who pays, receives the account, then reverses the payment through a chargeback effectively gets it for free — a risk sellers price around by sticking to payment methods that don't allow that. This is also why "sales are final" is standard language across this market, not unique to any one seller.
