Step 1 — Find a Listing
Browse the relevant marketplace section for what you're looking for:
- OG Usernames — Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Discord, Kick, Snapchat, Telegram, Twitch, Soundcloud
- Stat Pages — Social media accounts with follower counts
- Gaming Market — Gaming accounts and OG gamertags
Use the search bar or browse by subforum. Filter by the Selling prefix to see active listings only.
Step 2 — Vet the Seller
Before contacting anyone, check the following:
- Post count and account age — New accounts (under 30 days, low post count) with no feedback are higher risk.
- Feedback / vouches — Look for a feedback thread or vouches from other members. Zero feedback doesn't automatically mean a scammer, but proceed carefully.
Step 3 — Ask the Right Questions
Before agreeing to a price, ask:
- Does the account come with OGE (original registration email)?
- Has the username/account ever been banned, suspended, or warned?
- What is the account's creation date?
- For gaming accounts: what platform region? Are all items/skins included?
- What transfer method will be used?
Get proof where possible — screenshots of the account dashboard, email inbox showing account creation, or a live video call showing account access.
Step 4 — Agree on a Price and Use Safe Trade
Always use Kingz Safe Trade for any transaction above $10.
Safe Trade is Kingz built-in escrow system. Here's how it works:
- Buyer sends payment to Safe Trade (funds held in escrow — the seller cannot access them yet)
- Seller transfers the username/account credentials to the buyer
- Buyer verifies they have full access and the account matches the listing
- Buyer releases funds — seller receives payment
If there is a dispute at any point, the Kingz team reviews and mediates. Never pay outside of Safe Trade to an unknown seller — this is the #1 cause of scams in this market.
Step 5 — Complete the Transfer and Secure the Account
Once you receive credentials:
- Change the email address to one you fully control immediately
- Change the password to a strong, unique password
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on the account
- Remove any linked phone numbers or emails from the previous owner
- Log out all other sessions if the platform allows it
- For Instagram/Twitter: change the username if needed and confirm recovery options are all yours
The faster you secure the account after transfer, the less risk of the previous owner initiating a recovery.
