Start with the saved description
Before inspecting a delivered account, open the description you saved before payment. Use that version as the reference, not a revised message sent after delivery. Keep the listing, written messages and any agreed delivery notes together so you can compare each claim with what is actually visible.
Treat the account as a product and a working tool. Accept it only against the characteristics that were stated and agreed. A feature that appears useful but was never promised does not replace a missing feature; an unlisted limitation, however, is still worth recording if it affects the account’s condition or use.
Use this checklist:
- [ ] Compare each description line with the delivered account. Mark every item as confirmed, unclear or mismatched; an unclear item is not proof that the seller’s claim was met.
- [ ] Save the original description and relevant messages. Keep them in their existing form, alongside dated screenshots or other records you create during inspection; without the original wording, it can be harder to show what was promised.
- [ ] Inspect only through normal, permitted account access. Do not probe, automate, impersonate anyone or test the account in a way the platform forbids; evidence gathered through prohibited activity may put the account at risk and weaken your position.
- [ ] Record what you can directly observe. Distinguish a visible fact from a seller’s assurance or your own assumption; a claim should be based on documented evidence, not a guess.
The goal is not to prove that an account will perform well. It is to establish whether the delivered account matches the description and whether any difference is clear enough to raise with the seller.
Confirm the platform and account type
Start by checking that the account belongs to the platform named in the description. An account for Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn or another service is not interchangeable merely because it offers a similar feature. A mismatch in platform is a direct difference from the agreed product.
Then verify the specific account type. A personal profile, advertising account, business account, page, channel, workspace or seller account may have different functions and access structures. Check the labels and areas the platform itself displays, rather than relying only on a delivery message or a login screen.
- [ ] Match the platform name to the saved description. If the delivered account is on a different service, record that as a core mismatch.
- [ ] Check the stated account type in the platform interface. If the account is a personal profile where a business account was described, or a different product type altogether, the delivered item does not match the stated type.
- [ ] Confirm that the account opens in the expected platform environment. A link or set of credentials alone does not establish that the promised account is present; if access leads elsewhere or the account type cannot be verified, mark the item as unconfirmed.
- [ ] Compare any stated purpose or setup with visible account features. If the description named a particular working setup that is absent, document the gap rather than assuming it can be added later.
Do not infer ownership, eligibility or platform approval from the account’s appearance. Record only what the interface shows and what the saved description specifically promised.
Check region, language and stated age
Region, language and age are separate claims. A page displayed in one language does not establish the account’s stated region, and a profile’s appearance does not prove its age. Check the relevant account details or settings where they are normally available to you.
- [ ] Compare the stated region with the region visible in account details. If the described region is absent or a different region is shown, record the discrepancy; do not treat a device setting or your own location as proof of the account’s region.
- [ ] Check the account’s displayed language and any separately stated content language. If the platform interface or account content differs from what was described, note which part differs; a language mismatch matters when language was an agreed feature.
- [ ] Verify the stated age only through information the platform makes visible and permits you to access. If the claimed age cannot be observed, mark it as unverified rather than confirmed; if visible information contradicts the claim, preserve that evidence.
- [ ] Keep region, language and age as separate checklist entries. A match on one does not resolve a mismatch on another, so combine them only if the description itself treated them as one requirement.
Some account details may not be visible to a new holder. Do not attempt to uncover them through restricted routes, contact another person as a pretext or use methods that breach platform terms. An inaccessible detail remains unverified; it is not automatically false, but it is not documented as true either.
Review visible history and condition
A description may refer to account history, prior activity or an established profile. Compare those statements with the history you can legitimately see, such as visible posts, page activity or other platform-provided records. The presence of content does not establish that every claim about its origin, quality or continuity is accurate.
- [ ] Check the visible history against the description’s specific wording. If a promised type of history is missing, sparse or materially different, record the observable difference without filling gaps with assumptions.
- [ ] Note obvious gaps, inaccessible sections or signs that history cannot be reviewed. If the seller described a history you cannot inspect, mark the claim as unverified; do not treat a lack of access as confirmation.
- [ ] Separate visible content from claims about how it was created. A post or profile entry can be observed, but its author, authenticity or circumstances may not be established by the screen alone.
- [ ] Document any visible condition that affects the stated use. If the account appears incomplete or has a limitation inconsistent with the description, capture the relevant screen and explain the mismatch in factual terms.
Do not create activity to see how the account behaves, simulate use or attempt to make its history look different. Acceptance is an inspection, not a campaign or a way to test the platform’s enforcement systems.
Verify included pages, business accounts and tools
List every asset the seller said was included. Depending on the platform and arrangement, this might mean a Meta Page, a business account, an advertising account, a TikTok account, a Google product, a LinkedIn Page or another connected asset. Confirm that each one is actually visible and available to the account in the way described.
- [ ] Check every named page, account or channel individually. If an asset listed in the description is missing, record it as an omitted item rather than treating the main login as a substitute.
- [ ] Confirm the visible relationship between the account and each included asset. If the asset appears but the promised access or connection is absent, the package may still be incomplete.
- [ ] Review the tools the seller specifically named. If a stated tool or account feature is not present or cannot be accessed, document that gap; do not assume it will become available after setup.
- [ ] Distinguish inclusion from control. An asset appearing in a list does not by itself show that you can manage it; record what access the platform visibly grants and what remains unclear.
- [ ] Do not change roles or settings merely to see what happens. Inspect through permitted screens and preserve what is visible; an unauthorized change can create risk and muddy a claim.
If an asset is described as included but the platform does not show it, ask for clarification through the agreed channel and keep the response. Do not rely on a verbal assurance where the account interface provides no supporting evidence.
Check current status, warnings and limits
Inspect the account’s visible status areas, notifications and relevant settings. Look for warnings, restrictions, verification prompts, disabled features or other limits that the platform itself displays. A clean-looking screen does not prove that no issue exists, but a visible notice is relevant evidence of the account’s current condition.
- [ ] Review status information available through ordinary account access. If the platform shows a restriction or warning that was not disclosed, save the notice and compare it with the description.
- [ ] Record any visible limit on features or access. If the account cannot use a feature that the seller explicitly described as available, identify the feature and the displayed limitation.
- [ ] Separate a platform notice from an interpretation of it. Quote or summarize only what the interface says; do not claim a particular cause or outcome unless the platform clearly states it.
- [ ] Note prompts that prevent you from confirming a claimed feature. If a required detail is unavailable until a permitted step is completed, mark the claim as unresolved rather than trying to bypass the prompt.
- [ ] Avoid tests designed to trigger, evade or diagnose enforcement. Do not submit misleading information, conceal activity or work around checks; only ordinary, allowed inspection counts toward a responsible acceptance record.
A warning or restriction may be important even if the account still opens. Conversely, the absence of a visible warning is not a guarantee about future status. The checklist records the condition you can observe at the time of inspection, not a promise of continued access.
Document discrepancies and decide what is confirmed
Finish by reviewing the saved description one line at a time. For each claim, keep the evidence close to the wording: a screenshot of the relevant platform screen, a note explaining what was visible, or a record that the detail could not be checked. Avoid editing or annotating the original evidence in a way that obscures what the platform displayed.
- [ ] Label each item confirmed, mismatched or unverified. A mismatch means the delivered account differs from the saved description; an unverified item means the evidence does not establish whether it matches.
- [ ] Write discrepancies in neutral, specific language. State what was promised and what you observed, without guessing at intent or making claims about causes.
- [ ] Keep copies of the description, delivery details and inspection evidence. If you raise a claim, these records help show the basis for it; missing documentation makes the comparison harder to substantiate.
- [ ] Ask the seller to address a documented mismatch through the agreed communication channel. Keep the request focused on the stated feature and the evidence, rather than making unsupported accusations.
- [ ] Do not use or alter the account in a way that violates platform terms while a discrepancy is unresolved. A claim should rest on permitted, observable evidence, not on activity that could compromise the account or the inspection.
Only what can be observed and documented counts as confirmation. A seller’s description sets the comparison standard, while the platform interface provides evidence about the delivered account’s visible state. When a detail cannot be checked safely and permissibly, leave it unresolved instead of treating it as a match.
