How BuyAccount Works
A safe, escrow-backed marketplace for buying and selling League of Legends, Valorant, and Fortnite accounts. Here is the full flow — what happens from the moment you place an order, why our buyer protection is unique, and how we keep credential transfers secure.
For Buyers — 4 Steps
Browse & Filter
Pick game, region, rank tier, level, skin count and Blue Essence. Every listing shows verified specs — no surprise mismatches.
Pay Securely
Card, crypto or local payment. Your money is held in escrow — the seller doesn't get paid until you confirm delivery.
Receive Credentials
Login + recovery email + change instructions delivered through our encrypted credential vault. Typical: under 5 minutes for hand-leveled stock.
Verify & Secure
Log in, change the password and email, enable 2FA. If anything doesn't match the listing, open a dispute within 14 days — full refund guaranteed.
For Sellers — 5 Steps
Apply
Submit your seller application. We manually review every applicant — past sales history, payment reliability, and account sourcing.
List Accounts
Upload account specs (level, rank, skins, BE, email status). Verified screenshots required. Listing fee: 0%. Final value fee: 8%.
Order Notification
Within 1 hour of order, the buyer pays. You upload credentials to our encrypted vault. Funds released after buyer confirms.
Withdraw Earnings
Bank transfer, PayPal, or crypto. Weekly auto-payout or on-demand. Minimum withdrawal: $20.
Maintain Reputation
On-time delivery rate, recovery-incident rate, and buyer feedback score determine your seller tier. Top sellers get featured placement.
Why BuyAccount Is Safer Than the Average Marketplace
What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?
Buyer's account got recovered by the seller
This is the #1 fear when buying gaming accounts elsewhere. On BuyAccount: if you experience a recovery within 14 days of purchase, you submit screenshots and we ban the seller permanently, refund your full purchase, and absorb the loss. Recovery incidents on verified-seller listings are below 0.3% — far lower than open marketplaces like eBay or Facebook groups.
Listing doesn't match (missing skins, wrong rank, different level)
Open a dispute in My Orders within 14 days. Attach screenshots showing the discrepancy. We compare against the original listing specs, the seller's verification screenshots, and current account state via Riot's public API (where available). Refund decision within 24 hours.
Riot bans the account after purchase
Riot's terms forbid account trading — that risk exists on every marketplace. We mitigate it by sourcing hand-leveled (not botted) accounts, advising buyers to change email + password immediately, and offering a credit-style replacement for bans within 7 days where seller fault is evident.
FAQ — Quick Answers
For the full list see our dedicated FAQ page. The most common:
- How long until I get my account? Under 5 minutes for in-stock listings; up to 24 hours for custom orders.
- Can I pay with crypto? Yes — BTC, ETH, USDT (TRC20 and ERC20).
- Do you offer refunds? Yes — 14-day window for listing mismatches and recovery incidents.
- What's the difference between hand-leveled and botted? Hand-leveled is played by a real person (lower ban risk). Botted is scripted (higher ban risk, lower price). We only list hand-leveled stock.
- Is buying accounts against Riot's ToS? Yes, but enforcement focuses on the seller side. Buyers are rarely individually targeted — see our in-depth analysis.
