Selling on AccountShark is a six-step process: submit your account, wait for review, complete a short seller's agreement, get the listing live on the marketplace, manage it while it sits there, and receive payout when a buyer purchases. The vast majority of approved submissions go live on the marketplace at the price you set. We may occasionally offer to buy an account outright, but that is the exception rather than the standard path. Start your submission at accountshark.net/sell.
📤 Step 1: Submit your account
The seller form captures everything that makes your account valuable plus the contact and payout details we need to work with you.
Account details. Game, region, platform, server, characters, rank, achievements, rare cosmetics, currency, items, and account history. The form prompts you for the right fields per game.
Proof. Screenshots from inside the account that back up everything you listed. See What do I need to sell my account? and What screenshots do I need to sell an account?.
Asking price. Required. Your honest estimate of what the account is worth. See How does AccountShark price my account?.
Contact and payout info. Email, Discord handle (recommended for faster communication), and your preferred payout method.
You receive a lookup code as soon as you submit. Save it. That is how you check status later without signing in.
🔍 Step 2: We review and evaluate
Our team reviews everything you submitted: ownership signals, account history, the completeness of your proof, transferability for that publisher, and whether your asking price aligns with current market demand. Higher-value or higher-risk submissions may need ID verification. See Why does AccountShark ask sellers for ID?.
Review ends in one of three outcomes:
Approved at your asking price. We list it as submitted.
Counter-offer on price. We propose a number with reasoning. You can accept, counter back, or walk away.
Direct buyout offer (occasional). If we see strong inventory demand for the account, we may offer to buy it outright at a defined price. This is the exception, not the rule. See How will my account sell: consignment or buyout?.
If something needs adjustment (more proof, missing details, undisclosed history), support contacts you to resolve it before approval.
📝 Step 3: Complete the seller's agreement
After review, we send you a seller's agreement to sign. The agreement formalizes the sale terms and gives us what we need to verify the account and list it. It collects three things:
Your personal information. Name, address, and contact details. These must match what you submitted in Step 1. Mismatches are the most common reason an agreement gets returned for correction.
Government-issued ID photos (higher-value or higher-risk submissions). When requested, we use these to verify you as the original owner of the account. See Why does AccountShark ask sellers for ID? for what is acceptable and how we store and protect it.
Account login details. The credentials we need to log in and verify the account contents match your submission. They are only used internally and are never shared with the buyer in their original form.
Once the agreement is signed, support completes the in-game verification and the listing goes live shortly after.
🚀 Step 4: Listing goes live on the marketplace
Once approved, your account is published on the public marketplace at the agreed price. Buyers browse it, search for it, and purchase it directly. You do not have to negotiate, message buyers, or coordinate the sale yourself. That is what we are in the middle for.
🔄 Step 5: Manage your listing
While your account is listed, you stay in control:
Check status anytime at accountshark.net/sell/status using your lookup code. See How do I check my submission status?.
Update listing content: add new screenshots, refresh details, or disclose anything that changed about the account since you submitted it.
Adjust the price any time. Lowering is the most common adjustment for a stalled listing. Raising is allowed but rarely helps if the account has not sold at the current price.
Withdraw the listing if your situation changes. See How do I edit or withdraw my listing?.
If a listing is not moving, we will reach out to discuss a price adjustment with you directly.
💰 Step 6: Sale and payout
When a buyer purchases your account, support coordinates the handoff: the buyer receives the credentials, you walk through any final steps with us (removing your authenticator, providing recovery answers, releasing linked accounts, etc.), and once the handoff is verified, your payout is processed. Payout timing is covered in When do sellers and boosters get paid?.
🦈 Disclosure matters: tell us about bans, warnings, recoveries, shared access, or ownership changes up front. Hidden history discovered later can block a sale that would otherwise have closed.
⚠️ What can stop a sale
We do not broker every submission and we do not guarantee a sale. Submissions can be declined if proof is missing, the account does not meet our verification bar, or current market demand for that game and configuration is too soft to support a viable listing. When that happens, we tell you why so you can decide whether to revise and resubmit, or try again in a different market window.
