If a seller takes payment and stops responding, options are genuinely limited — this is precisely why the checks covered in how to avoid scams matter so much before paying, not after.

FAQ

Can you get the money back?

Depends entirely on the payment method used — this is exactly why checking a seller's track record before paying matters so much (see our red flags guide).

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.
