Buying an account on AccountShark is simple, but the safest orders follow a sequence: pick the right listing, place the order, wait for review, pay only through official instructions, receive the account, then secure it before you start making changes. Start at accountshark.net to browse what is currently listed.
⚠️ Before you buy: Read the listing carefully. If one item, rank, mount, skin, server, region, or email detail is the reason you are buying, ask support to verify it before placing the order.
💡 Watching a game or account type? Listings post first in our Discord channels. See Does AccountShark use Discord? for the channels worth following.
🔍 Step 1: Find the account
Open the account category for the game you want.
Use filters for game, region, server, faction, rank, level, cosmetics, or account type.
Open any listing that looks close to what you want.
📋 Step 2: Check the listing
Title: check the headline details and game version.
Description: read the account notes, history, region, access type, and delivery notes.
Images: inspect screenshots instead of relying only on the title.
Proof: if something is unclear, use How do I request more screenshots before buying?.
🛒 Step 3: Place the order
Click the buy or checkout button on the account you selected.
Enter the buyer details requested on the order page.
Choose your preferred payment method.
Submit the order. For account orders, payment is not always collected immediately because support reviews availability and risk before releasing payment instructions.
⏱️ Step 4: Wait for review
Account orders enter a short review queue. AccountShark confirms the listing is still available, checks the order, and makes sure the handoff is ready before money moves.
Do not pay anyone in Discord DMs.
Do not reuse old payment details.
Do not send payment until the instructions are tied to your order.
💳 Step 5: Pay through the official instructions
Once review is complete, support sends the approved amount and method. Payment options and fees are listed in What payment methods does AccountShark accept?.
📦 Step 6: Receive the account
Open your order page and official order chat.
Follow support's handoff instructions.
Log in and confirm the account matches the listing before changing sensitive details.
If something does not match, stop and contact support before continuing.
🔐 Step 7: Secure the account
Change the password.
Secure the account email.
Add your own 2FA/authenticator.
Remove saved payment methods if any are present.
Follow the full checklist: How do I secure my new account?.
🎮 Security tips by game
Old School RuneScape: confirm the account is as described before changing anything. Secure the email and authenticator immediately, and avoid common passwords.
World of Warcraft / Battle.net: do not change locked personal fields such as country or owner name if the publisher does not allow safe edits. Log in normally, verify access, then secure email and authenticator.
Fortnite / Epic Games: do not contact Epic support from the new account unless support tells you to. Secure the email, password, and 2FA first.
✅ Final check: After the handoff, confirm that the account matches the listing. If it does, secure it. If it does not, raise the issue immediately through AccountShark support.
