What to Check Before Buying a Game Account (Complete Buyer Checklist)
A detailed buyer checklist for game accounts — verify stats, watch the video, judge seller trust, compare prices, and lock the account down after purchase.
Most bad purchases happen because the buyer skipped a few simple checks. Whether you are buying a Free Fire, PUBG, COC, FC Mobile, or eFootball account, this checklist helps you spot problems before you pay — and lock the account down after.
Before you buy: verify the listing
- Match every stat. Level, in-game currency (diamonds/UC/gems/coins), skins, and items should match the written listing.
- Watch the screen-recording. Every listing includes a seller video. Watch it fully and confirm it shows the real account and items.
- Check seller trust. Look at the verification badge, star rating, and number of completed sales. Pro Sellers (10+ sales) are more established.
- Compare prices. Browse similar listings in the Store so you know a fair price.
- Read the description. Note the linked login type and anything about transferability.
Understand the protections
You are protected by escrow — your money is held until you confirm — and by the buyer-protection window (about 24h for Pro Sellers, up to 36h for New Sellers). Read How Escrow Works so you know your rights before buying.
After you buy: secure it immediately
- Change the password.
- Change the recovery email to your own.
- Unlink the seller's socials and phone number; link yours.
- Enable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA).
- Log out all other devices.
Only confirm the order after the account is tested and locked down. Detailed steps: Secure an Account After Buying.
Red flags — do not confirm if you see these
- You cannot change the password or recovery email.
- Stats do not match the listing or the video.
- The seller pressures you to confirm quickly or to deal off-platform.
- The account shows warnings, bans, or someone else is logged in.
If any red flag appears, open a dispute instead of confirming. See Avoid Game ID Scams for more.
