How to judge whether a subscription reseller is trustworthy

Ignore ratings and sales counts. Look at whether the shop states its process, its warranty boundary and what happens when something fails.

In this market, the best talkers are the most common and the ones who deliver are the rarest. Ratings can be bought, sales counts can be faked. What cannot be faked is writing the rules down — because clarity costs a fraudster money.

1. Does it state the warranty boundary

A real shop writes: the subscription dropping is covered, a ban is not. A fraudster writes "full warranty" or "ban protection", because that costs nothing today and you will not find them when it matters. One seller willing to print "bans are not covered" is worth more than ten five-star reviews.

2. Does it ask for a password

It must not. Activation needs an Organization ID or an account email. Anything asking for a password, a 2FA code or a session cookie is wrong at the level of the process, not the level of the shop.

3. Is the price implausibly low

The official price is public, and a reseller carries payment cost and risk, so prices usually sit 10–20 % above official. A listing at a third of the official price is not a discount, it is an explanation: either a shared account, or a payment made with someone else's card. When the second one is reversed, the subscription and the seller both disappear.

4. Is there a reference number

A real flow gives you a reference you can look up. Without one, your only record is a chat, and a chat can be blocked.

5. Is the delivery estimate honest

For a tier that requires manual verification, promising "two minutes" is itself information: either automatic card delivery (higher risk) or no human involved at all. A believable line is "usually fast, worst case X".

6. How do they answer a boring question

Ask something trivial before paying and watch how long it takes and how it reads. This filters most of the market.

The honest bottom line

Nobody can guarantee an account will not be banned. Anyone promising that is betting you will not get caught within a month. Remembering that one sentence avoids most of the traps in this market.

Our own rules are in the refund policy, including the unpleasant one: a ban is not refunded.
