Someone posted a link to an account marketplace that accepts Monero once to !privacy@lemmy.ml, but the post has been deleted.

(I don't plan anything illicit, I simply can't create an account on these sites when using a VPN and don't want to verify my phone number.)

https://xmrbazaar.com/ has a few accounts, you can use the search bar for what you are looking, for example: https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/AuvH/

But like in the example I linked, always make sure to look in the sidebar where it says Payment so that it has an option called Multisig escrow, and if buying always pick that, because that means the funds can only be released if the seller actually delivers, while a direct payment you are sending coins straight to their wallet and they can delete the listing as if it never existed and start over, even if it has reviews since they are easy to fake and a fake review doesn't have to pay anything they can simply be made for free. Just a heads up

I think I saw another website some time ago that also had listings like this, anyone knows the name?

https://monero.market/, moneromarket.io ? I can't verify their legitimacy though never used

It wasn't either I believe, but thanks for the link

How does this work? Does the Google account you purchase come preverified (so no SMS phone # verification is required) and with a predetermined username and password?

No idea I also wondered this, I haven't purchased digital accounts and just grabbed an example from the site but google specifically is very annoying when you create alts so I'm pretty sure if you buy one and log-in using another device and IP they'll start firing you with captchas, maybe ask your phone number, then maybe a throaway one could work? But it could not last long until they keep asking you to verify, unless it's a very old account I think older accounts may be easier to use and not be flagged as spam

I'd ask in the comment section of the listing

Ok, thanks for the info.
