How to Sell Your Open Tibia Account Without Getting Scammed

Selling an account you spent months building should not feel like a gamble. Done through a private trade, it often is, because you either hand over the character before you are paid, or you ask the buyer to pay a stranger first. This guide shows how to sell safely, get a fair price, and actually receive your money.

Get verified first

Before you can list anything on TibianHub, you pass ID verification. It takes a few minutes and it is a one-time step. Verification is also what buyers look for, since a verified badge tells them you are a real, accountable seller and not a throwaway account. Sellers who skip trust signals sell slower and for less.

Write a listing that actually sells

Buyers scroll past vague listings. Give them what they would ask anyway:

• A clear title. Vocation, level, and server up front, for example "Level 190 Royal Paladin on Realera."
• The details that matter. Skills, magic level, notable gear, quests done, and anything rare.
• Honest screenshots. Show the skills screen and key items. Real proof sells faster than promises.
• A fair price. Check comparable accounts on the marketplace and price against them. Wildly overpriced listings sit. Slightly-under-market ones move.

Write it the way you would want to read it as a buyer. Specifics build trust, and trust is what closes the sale.

How payment and delivery work

Once a buyer purchases, the money goes into escrow, held safely and out of reach until the trade is done. That protects you too. The buyer cannot claw back a payment on a whim, because the funds are already committed to the order.

Your job from there:

1. Transfer the account to the buyer.
2. Upload delivery proof. A screenshot or clip of the handover. This is your evidence if anything gets disputed, so do not skip it.
3. Wait for confirmation. The buyer confirms, and the payment releases to you. If they go quiet, the payment still releases automatically 72 hours after you mark delivery with valid proof.

Good proof is your protection. A seller with a clear delivery record wins disputes. A seller with none loses them.

Keep the whole deal on the platform

The most common way sellers get scammed is agreeing to take payment "directly" to save on fees. Do not. The moment you move to Discord or a friends-and-family payment, every protection disappears, and a chargeback can wipe out the sale after you have handed over the account. The small platform fee is what pays for the escrow and dispute system that stops exactly that.

Price and timing tips

• List when your server is active. More players online means more buyers browsing.
• Bundle the extras. Mounts, outfits, and stocked gear are worth calling out, since they justify a higher price.
• Respond fast. Buyers often message a few sellers at once, and the one who answers first usually gets the sale.

Frequently asked questions

When do I get paid? After the buyer confirms delivery, or automatically 72 hours after you mark it delivered with proof.

What if the buyer claims they did not get the account? That is what delivery proof is for. Upload it at handover. In a dispute, our team reviews the proof and the order chat before any money moves.

Do I need to verify my identity? Yes. ID verification is required before you can list, and it is a one-time step.

How much is the fee? Sellers pay a small percentage on each sale. It funds escrow, dispute handling, and verification. Buyers pay only the listed price.

Set your price, write an honest listing, and let escrow handle the risky part. Create a listing once you are verified and put your account in front of real buyers.
