5 Things to Check Before Selling Your Gaming Account

Before you list, take fresh screenshots of your rank, inventory, achievement count, and any other stats you plan to feature. Buyers verify everything. An outdated rank screenshot or an overstated item count is the fastest way to get a dispute filed against you — and lose your Verified Seller status.

Strip your real name, linked payment methods, and personal email from the account before listing. Buyers want a clean handover — and platforms like Steam, Riot, and Blizzard sometimes restrict accounts tied to personal billing information.

Log in from a fresh session and verify the account is in good standing. Check for any active chat bans, ranked restrictions, or review flags. Even a temporary restriction you've forgotten about will surface immediately when a buyer tries to use the account.

Overpriced listings sit unsold. Browse recent completed sales for similar accounts on TopAccounts to understand real market value. Key pricing factors include: rank tier, account age, rare cosmetics or items, original email access availability.

Once a buyer submits payment, you have 24 hours to initiate transfer. Have everything ready before you list: the login credentials, the linked email login, any authenticator backup codes, and a clear set of instructions for the buyer.

Some accounts cannot be listed regardless of their value. These include accounts with a history of cheating or VAC bans on Steam, accounts obtained through unauthorized means, and accounts on platforms where selling is explicitly prohibited.
