Start with evidence, not a product label
Words such as “aged,” “verified,” and “high limit” are useful only when the seller explains exactly what they mean. Ask for a dated summary of the account, including creation date, registered country, seller status, current item limit, current value limit, feedback score, recent activity, and any restrictions.
Review age, activity, and feedback together
An old creation date does not automatically mean an account is active or suitable. Check whether feedback is recent, whether selling activity is consistent, and whether the item categories match your intended use. Sudden gaps or unusual changes deserve an explanation.
Confirm the selling limit
Request current evidence showing both the quantity and monetary limit. Limits may change, so a historical screenshot is not enough. Clarify whether the advertised figure is a current limit, a previous limit, or a seller estimate.
Check region and access details
Confirm the registered country, marketplace, currency, phone status, email access, and recovery options. Understand which details will be supplied during handover and which settings should remain unchanged until you receive guidance.
Write down delivery and support terms
Before payment, agree on the exact deliverables, expected delivery time, support period, replacement conditions, and exclusions. Keep a copy of the specification and conversation so both sides refer to the same terms.
Use a final pre-payment checklist
