Buying and Selling X and Twitter Accounts: FAQ
What we buy on X, formerly Twitter, and what sellers ask before handing an account over.
Does X allow accounts to be sold?
The platform’s terms forbid transferring ownership for money or anything else of value. Enforcement has been inconsistent over the years, including well publicised sales the platform knew about and left alone. None of that makes it permitted, so treat the risk as real and factor it into the price.
Why does FanPageCash buy these accounts?
We advertise our own sites on them and use them to circulate news, video and stories. The content we post matches the account’s existing theme. When an account does not suit us, we resell it to another marketing firm.
What is my account worth?
Hard to quote without looking. Username length matters, and a short, clean handle can carry more value than the following attached to it. Beyond that: follower count, genuine engagement, account age and niche.
How do you handle fake followers?
This platform has a long history of bot inflation, so every account goes through a background check before we make an offer. If the following does not hold up, we pass. We do not resell accounts we would not buy ourselves.
Do I lose the account completely?
Yes, unlike a Facebook page. Selling here means handing over the account itself, including the login. Make sure you have moved anything personal off it first, and that it is not tied to an email address you need.
