Buying and Selling Instagram Accounts: FAQ
What we look for in an Instagram account, and the questions sellers ask most.
Does Instagram allow accounts to be sold?
Instagram’s terms forbid transferring ownership. Those are the platform’s house rules rather than law, and selling your own account is not illegal. It does mean the account can be actioned if the platform notices, which is a risk both sides should price in.
Why does FanPageCash buy Instagram accounts?
We post our own content on them, matched to the account’s existing theme, and we use them to introduce new brands to an audience that already exists. We do not spam links. Accounts that do not fit anything of ours are resold.
What is my Instagram account worth?
There is no price chart. Follower count, real engagement, niche and audience country all move the number. Fashion, fitness, food and travel audiences tend to move faster than general meme accounts.
How do you deal with fake followers?
Thousands of sites sell fake Instagram followers, so every account gets an extensive background check before an offer. Bought followings show up in the engagement pattern quickly. If an account is inflated, we pass on it rather than pass it to a buyer.
Do I hand over the whole account?
Yes. Unlike a Facebook page, an Instagram account transfers in full, including the login and usually the email address attached to it. Move anything personal off it before you start.
