How to Sell Your Open Tibia Account Without Getting Scammed

Here is the seller's nightmare: you hand over a character you spent a year building, the "payment" turns out to be reversible, and three weeks later both the account and the money are gone. Private Open Tibia account trades fail exactly this way, because somebody always has to go first.

This guide shows how to sell your Open Tibia account with the risk carried by escrow instead of by you, how to price it, and how to write a listing that actually closes.

Get verified first

Account trading rules vary by server — check yours before you list. Then, 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 Open Tibia account 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 payment is already captured and committed to the order before you hand over anything, so you are never relying on a payment screenshot or a promise.

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.

Hand over the account cleanly

A clean handover is what separates a smooth sale from a dispute:

• Give the buyer everything needed for full control: the login, and cooperation while they change the email and any recovery details. Buyers should not have to chase you for this, and resisting it reads as a scam setup.
• Document the handover. Screenshot the moment you deliver the credentials and any confirmation from the buyer in the order chat.
• Expect the buyer to change the password immediately. That is normal and healthy. Once they confirm delivery, the account is theirs.

Good proof plus a cooperative handover 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, with nothing you can do about it. The platform fee (10%, or 8% with Premium) is what pays for the escrow and dispute system built to prevent exactly that scenario — your payment is captured and confirmed before you ever transfer the account, so you are not trusting a screenshot or a promise.

Price and timing tips

• List when your server is active. More players online means more buyers browsing. Check your server's player pulse on the OT server directory.
• 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 10% of the sale price, or 8% with Premium. The fee funds escrow, dispute handling, and verification. Buyers pay only the listed price.

Your character earned its price tag, so collect it properly: get verified and create a listing. Selling spare gold as well? The gold selling guide covers that side, and if you are curious how buyers will vet your listing, read what buyers check before they pay.
