Is it against the rules to buy Gmail accounts? - HazeFazeBRO - Jan 31, 2014

I searched the rules and didn't see anything on buying and selling accounts, but I still feel like there's a rule I'm missing.

I just want to be sure.

I do not believe it is. I've seen OG Gmails go around. You should be fine.


* - xVulnerable - Jan 31, 2014

Nope, there are OG emails being sold everywhere.

Apparently it's ok to buy "OG" Gmails but asking to buy random bulk Gmails falls under dumps.

Dumps / Combo Lists
Providing accounts that don't belong to you, whether in trades, for sale, or free, dumps are not allowed. The definition of a dump is a file with logins, passwords, personal details or emails. We do define "combo lists" as dumps as well.

This is correct exactly. Account trades are allowed, but not illegitimate bulk transfers.

Okay shit, that's what I need. Just a handful of random gmail, yahoo, and outlook accounts.
I might just have to make them then.

Okay thank you guys!

There's no way around this? Like I thought that was only the case if they were hacked. Is it okay if they were created?

no its not, atleast i doub it. lol :d

It would be allowed I guess as far as there is no paid subscription like in case of netflix/xbox etc. New rule is applicable on such paid accounts. Although, combo lists are not allowed.

-Congrats! You have been Sneaked!

I think I should ask a staff member of something. I'm leaning towards it's acceptable but I don't want to get banned on account of mass confusion.

You can sell OG gmail accounts, it's allowed.

Not OG, just a random 50-100 at a time.

I'd ask as a Policy Question in the Rules, Announcements, News and Feedback to be extra sure.

I've had a shop open for a while and sell gmails and haven't had a problem
