Where to sell an account? Making money by selling game accounts: how to avoid being scammed? Where can I sell accounts?

Before we begin analyzing the issue of selling or buying World of Tanks accounts, I want to warn you that this is prohibited by the developers. Moreover, according to the rules of the game, you cannot give access to your account to third parties.

How much does a WOT account cost?

The range of prices for them is wide, as is the actual number of offers. However, it is worth considering the fact that good and “white” accounts cannot be cheap. For example, you often see messages like this: I will sell ACC, in the hangar KV-5, Lowe, Super Pershing, IS - IS-7... price: 900 rubles.

This price is underestimated, since even the cost of all premium tanks exceeds it several times. Prices for normal accounts start from several thousand rubles and can reach several tens of thousands, especially accounts with a large number of battles, good statistics and a large fleet of tanks in the hangar.

How does this happen?

To buy an account, in addition to the password and login for the game, you also need the email address to which the account is linked. In addition, if the account and mail were linked to the previous owner’s mobile phone, then they also need to be re-registered to your mobile phone, otherwise you risk that your new account will return back to its seller.

What are the risks?

Fraud is perhaps the main risk, which can be divided into several categories.

When purchasing an account.

The money was transferred, but the account was not received, the seller disappears from sight. For a fraudster, registering a new ICQ, a Webmoney wallet and an account on social networks will not be difficult.
We bought an account, everything was fine, but after a while the password no longer worked. In this case, the seller simply restores the password from the mail, and then restores the password from the game, and now your account is put up for sale again.
The account did not belong to the seller, they slipped you a dummy, the password did not work.

When selling an account.

If you sell an account, you have fewer risks, but they still exist.

The buyer asks for a test drive and for some reason sells all or part of your tanks.
Transfers money with the protection of the transaction, but does not indicate a password. This way he gets your account, and even keeps it with his own people, and you are a fig.

Another risk is general and is that the game administration becomes aware of your operation and the account is permanently banned or all tanks are removed from it, all achievements are reset and it loses its value.

How to avoid risks?

The recipe is simple and universal for almost any transaction on the Internet - using the services of a trusted guarantor. What is a guarantor? This is a person who is trusted by both parties to the transaction. This could be the administrator of a website or social network group, or just a mutual friend. The main thing is that you can trust him. The guarantor must be a person with a reputation.

Do not choose a guarantor just because the seller or buyer recommended it to you. You should also be familiar with him, ideally before you meet your partner in the transaction.

What are the tasks of the guarantor?

Accept the agreed upon transaction amount + percentage for the provision of your services.
Check that the passwords for your game account and email are correct.
Check whether your account and email are linked to your mobile phone; if so, then change it to the buyer’s data when interacting with the seller. Also check if the email is linked to another email (to recover the password) - if necessary, change it too.
Check your account details: the number of tanks indicated during the sale, whether there are any sanctions imposed for violations, etc.
Once again, make sure that everything is correct and only then transfer the money to the seller and the account information to the buyer.

Where can I find a guarantor?

This is not as easy to do as it might seem, but there are ways. You can try asking someone from the game forum to become a guarantor. You can also try to negotiate with the administrators of sites or VK groups. However, the best way would be to go to specialized sites - the so-called game account exchanges. These are specialized sites where transactions for the sale of game accounts and virtual property take place in games where this is not provided for and is prohibited by the developers.

But even such specialized exchanges do not protect you from the listed risks. Be careful and vigilant.

Anticipating possible questions - our site is not an exchange, we have never been and will not be guarantors of such transactions. Google is here to help you.

Selling game accounts today has become one of the types of electronic business, which, according to Internet users who actively promote this method of earning money, can bring good income. Whether this is so, we decided to find out in our article, and at the same time figure out what gamers sell and where and how they insure their transactions.

Which game accounts are most in demand?

At first, we set out to find out which game accounts could be sold. It turned out that everything was theoretical. After all, what is an account? This is your account (“account”), which is assigned to you after registering on the site. In this case, you receive a login and password, as well as access to your personal profile and the ability to use it to perform certain actions within the framework of the rules established by the resource administration.

Sell game account- means to provide another player with the data necessary for authorization for a fee, thus transferring the right to access a personal profile.

A lot of willpower is required to complete a thirty-level toy to the end. Although even more willpower is required to remove it later. But this willpower is not enough to prevent you from installing a new version for yourself. Stas Yankovsky

We analyzed the information received on thematic forums and came to the conclusion that the accounts of the most popular games are in greatest demand. Today their TOP five looks like this:

World of Warcraft is an online action role-playing game, which is included in the Guinness Book of Records as the game with the largest number of subscribers;

World of Tanks is the creation of Russian programmers who forced about 100 million users to participate in virtual tank battles;

Lineage II is a multiplayer fantasy game that was first released in South Korea in 2003. Belongs to the role-playing category;

Warface is an online shooter developed by specialists from the Kyiv branch of Crytek and received an award for best graphics from the organizers of the KRI Awards. The video will tell you about ways to upgrade your account in this game:

Battlefield is a series of strategy games where gamers are given the opportunity to play the role of a soldier of the past, present or future.

The cost of a game account on these resources can reach thousands of dollars, but for this it must be pumped up. The price directly depends on the number and quality of artifacts available in your arsenal, the amount of accumulated in-game gold (read the separate article “Mining Cryptocurrencies” for ways to make money on virtual currencies), and even on your nickname.

It follows from this: in order to get an account for which another gamer will be willing to pay good money, you will have to invest a lot of time and effort into upgrading it. You can spend months leveling up and end up with $300. It turns out, in fact, sale of game accounts is not as profitable as it might seem at first glance. Therefore, it is unlikely that it will be possible to put this type of activity on stream and turn it into a source of permanent income.

Where to look for a buyer?

But if you are tired of yet another online shooter and want to sell your game account, we recommend looking for a buyer:

in the game itself. The most effective, but also the most dangerous way to find a client, since most gaming resources prohibit this kind of transaction, and you may simply be banned. Therefore, experienced gamers advise either creating other accounts and sending out offers for sale from them, or looking for buyer advertisements in the chat with the phrase “I will accept as a gift,” which actually means “I will buy for money”;

on gamer forums. There, the sale of game accounts is not prohibited, and therefore they talk about it openly;

on social networks. Find groups of gamers who are interested in this game and offer your account;

on virtual exchanges and in online stores specializing in account sales. Finding them is not difficult - just make a corresponding request in a search engine. Such sale of game accounts helps to avoid the tricks of fraudulent buyers, but the chances of successfully selling a gaming account are low due to high competition.

Ways to avoid being scammed during a transaction

Let's say you find a buyer. How to insure yourself against fraud? Do not agree to requests from potential buyers to give temporary access to your account for demonstration, that is, to send authorization data without removing the link to your phone. There are craftsmen who will strip your characters naked in a minute and deprive you of all your gold reserves.

Conclude transactions through guarantor services. Of course, you will have to lose 5% of the income from the sale, but this is better than being left without any money at all.

The essence of guarantor mediation is as follows: they accept data from you that allows you to access your account, check its operation, after which the buyer transfers the required amount to the guarantor’s account, which is then redirected to you, minus the intermediary’s commission.

With a huge number of players. In almost all such games, the main important indicator is the rank and level, which depends on the time spent on the game, as well as the donation - the money invested in the game.

Therefore, it is sometimes easier for a novice player to buy a ready-made account and not waste money and time on leveling up. This is the main reason why gaming accounts are in great demand.

You can make money on 2 types of accounts: personal and overbought.

Based on the experience of selling Warface accounts, a fairly popular game with a long leveling process and a lot of donations, according to statistics, each sale brings about 200-300% profit.

How to start earning money?

We create 2 new accounts on Skype: for buying accounts and for selling. 2 copies of Skype are launched by adding a space separated to the program shortcut of the /secondary line
The first thing you need to do is register on thematic forums where game accounts are bought and sold.
Register a qiwi wallet.

After registering on the forums, you can start searching for the sale of game accounts.

For example, create a topic on the forum about purchasing accounts from 60 rubles (on the market they cost 150 rubles without donations and skins) and up to 150 rubles (the market price starts from 400 to 1000 rubles).

Business Features and Security

When purchasing on websites or forums, follow these rules:

If the seller does not give access to accounts in advance, then work through a guarantor, with the exception of a large number of messages or a high reputation.
If the seller gives the goods in advance, then write to him that you will pay within 10
minutes, at this time we move on to the next step
Any seller will give the goods in advance if you have a personal certificate

Now, after the seller of the goods has provided you with the goods, you have access to your account in the form [email protected]: 1234qwer, it needs to be saved and protected.

First, log into your account and go to settings, here you change all the unnecessary data, namely: first name, last name, nickname, put your photo, change date of birth, city, etc.

We also change the secret question, change the password, change the additional email.

Suppliers and buyers

Before continuing, it’s worth writing about security, but now when selling an account after being outbid, if someone knocks on your Skype door and asks for a loan. That is, a purchased and prepared account in advance or give it to them for verification - These are all scammers, there is a risk of losing your account.

We've sorted this out, now let's move on to the process of buying and resale. First, the supplier will knock on our door and a dialogue like this will begin.

Attention, if a person is on the site, For example, youhack.ru or bfh.su will offer you to buy an account, citing their huge reputation, but ask you to transfer to qiwi, it’s not worth making a deal with. Even if he puts something like this link on Skype http://уоухask.ru/member.рhp?u=182***.

When you click on it, the status “seller” will be written. But if you are more careful, you will be able to notice the site not youhack.ru, but youhack.cf (or something like that). Here is an example of such a divorce?

After you are convinced that the person is not going to scam you, take an account and unlink everything at the post office, according to the instructions. After transferring funds to the seller, perhaps he will offer you more game accounts; if you want, you can buy a couple more, because an honest seller is worth a lot.

After you have purchased an account, you need to create a sales topic and design it well: set a decent price, add screenshots and make an attractive description.

Before being put up for sale, nicknames are blurred out on screenshots.

Theme design

In the description you need to indicate what kind of weapon you have, put down the price, indicate the rank, price, and your Skype, and that you agree to work through a guarantor.

If the account is overbought, then you can indicate that you are responsible for it in the first 1-12 hours and everything has been done on your part to save the account.

All that remains is to wait for buyers and sell the account.

Attention, do not submit it for verification under any pretext, and also do not show your account email via screen sharing because they will block your account, say right away that the guarantor will check it himself.

Buy several e-wallets. After the purchase, transfer from the first purchased wallet to another, and only then to your own, as a note to the transfers write “payment for services”, “purchase of advertising”, do this until the turnover reaches 5000 rubles, after which the wallets change.

Pros and cons of trading game accounts

Pros:

Good income from sales, about 250-400%, it all depends on the value of the account
Need to spend several hours
Minimum financial investment

Cons:

Some accounts have few buyers and you have to wait
There are scammers who don't mind getting your account for free

On our website you can sell your account without the tedious registration procedure. All you need to do is fill out a minimum set of fields on the ad editor page. Let's look at each field in more detail.

Ad title - it is important to indicate an informative title, after reading which a potential buyer will immediately see the key features of your account
Game- select the section to which your ad corresponds. If what you need is not in the list, select "Other games"
Ad text - describe here all the important parameters of your account. The more detailed you are in the description of your ad, the higher the chance that a buyer will find it using search. The ad is on the first page of the list for no more than one day, so it is important to write a good description of your account.

How much does an account cost?

It is important to correctly indicate the price for your account - an inflated price will not allow you to sell your account, but by lowering the price to a minimum you can seriously reduce the price. There is no universal way to estimate the current value of an account, and the face value (the amount of money spent on the account) may differ significantly from the market value.

Check out the advertisements published on our website and analyze how much your game account costs on average on our website. Then highlight the key features of your account and evaluate their value, form the value of your account. Market analysis and real knowledge of the value of inventory is what will allow you to sell your account at the maximum market price.
