Buy and Sell Social Media Accounts Safely

What is UserSell, and how is it different from buying directly?

UserSell is an online marketplace for buying and selling social media accounts. The difference from a direct deal is simple: the seller does not get the buyer's money until the account is safely handed over. Until then, the money is held by UserSell. All chats, the account health check, the undertakings and the payment happen in the UserSell Telegram bot, and neither side sees the other's phone number.

How much is the UserSell safe-deal fee?

Listing is free. The fee is charged only when a deal is really completed. The fee is tiered: the higher the account price, the lower the percentage. Whether the buyer pays the fee, the seller pays it, or they split it 50/50 is agreed between buyer and seller, and the buyer's share is paid together with the account price in one payment.

How to choose an account by niche

The most important question before you buy: is this account's audience useful to me? Buy an account whose followers are your customers or your readers:

• Blogger accounts: a fast start for content creation and influencer marketing.
• Business and shop accounts: for selling online; usually worth more per follower.
• Fashion and beauty accounts: mostly female audience; good for clothing, cosmetics and salons.
• Comedy and clip accounts: high views; good for selling ads.
• Sports accounts: good for gyms, coaches and sports shops.

What decides the price of an Instagram account?

The price depends on these factors (most important first):

1. Real views and engagement (reel and story views, likes and comments). An account with fewer followers but high views is often worth more than a big account nobody watches.
2. Follower quality: real followers, low follower loss, and the share of followers from your target country.
3. Niche: specialised and shop accounts are usually worth more.
4. Account health: no restrictions in Account Status and a clean history.
5. Account age and original e-mail: handing over the original e-mail makes the account safer and more valuable.
