Why Ysello does not allow account or credential trading
The practical security, consent, fraud, and ownership problems behind the line we draw.
· 5 min read
Access is not ownership
A login can be recovered, revoked, or disputed after a sale. Platform terms, identity checks, and recovery channels often remain connected to the original holder.
Credentials expose more than one service
Reused passwords, connected email addresses, payment records, private messages, and device sessions can turn a single transfer into a wider security incident.
Consent is difficult to prove
An account may contain information about customers, friends, team members, or previous users who never consented to a transfer. Clear ownership and privacy boundaries are essential.
Safer products create durable value
Original templates, licensed assets, education, and well-scoped services can be delivered and supported without transferring another person’s identity or access.
