About Samzal

A calmer way to trade game and social media accounts.

Samzal is a marketplace for game accounts, social media channels and digital assets. Sellers list for free. Buyers pay into escrow, and the money moves to the seller only after the buyer confirms the account works. Every category is moderated, and disputes are reviewed by our team.

How escrow works

Five steps. One simple rule.

The seller is paid only after you confirm the account is yours and works as described.

  1. Agree

    Price, what is included and the handover, settled in Samzal chat.

  2. Pay into escrow

    Your money goes to Samzal escrow, never straight to the seller.

  3. Get the account

    Login, recovery email and every asset the listing promised.

  4. Check it

    Log in, secure it and compare it with the listing.

  5. Release

    Confirm and the seller is paid. A problem? Open a dispute.

Questions

Good questions to ask before you buy.

Can't find your answer here? The help centre has the full guides, or you can write to our team directly.

Is it legal to buy and sell Instagram accounts?
Account transfers are possible when both parties comply with Instagram's Community Guidelines. While Instagram's terms technically restrict account sales, transfers between consenting parties are generally permitted if the account remains in good standing and doesn't violate platform policies. Always review Instagram's current policies and consult legal counsel if uncertain.
How do I know if an Instagram account is authentic (not bought followers)?

Request and review:

  • 60+ days of analytics showing steady growth (not sudden spikes)
  • Engagement rate (2-8% is typical for authentic accounts)
  • Demographic reports (followers from real geographic regions)
  • Engagement patterns (comments from real accounts, not bots)
  • Growth history (consistent month-over-month growth is a good sign)

We validate all listings, but always request detailed analytics before committing to a purchase.

Can I buy Instagram accounts with active followers guaranteed?

Yes—accounts on Samzal include active, verified followers. However, engagement varies by account. We recommend:

  • Checking engagement rate (not just follower count)
  • Reviewing growth history
  • Requesting demographic data
  • Asking for examples of recent post performance
What's the difference between a cheap account and a premium account?

Cheap accounts (under $3,000):

  • Smaller follower bases (10k-50k)
  • Developing niches or micro-communities
  • Lower engagement rates
  • Good for budget-conscious starters

Premium accounts ($10,000+):

  • Large follower bases (100k+)
  • Established, profitable niches
  • High engagement (5-8%+)
  • Existing partnerships and revenue

Choose based on your budget and business goals.

Can I buy Instagram accounts bulk?

Yes. Samzal supports bulk purchases:

  • Minimum 3 accounts for bulk pricing
  • 10-20% volume discounts available
  • Custom support for portfolio management
  • White-glove transfer service for large orders

Contact our support team to discuss bulk purchasing.

What happens if the account doesn't transfer properly?

Escrow protects both parties:

  1. Funds remain held if buyer cannot access account
  2. Seller must resolve access issues
  3. If unresolved, our dispute resolution team investigates
  4. Based on documentation, funds either return to buyer or release to seller

Clear communication and proper documentation prevent most transfer issues.

How long does an account transfer take?

Typical timeline:

  • Payment to escrow: Immediate
  • Seller provides credentials: 24 hours
  • Buyer confirms access: 24-48 hours
  • Funds released: Immediate after confirmation
  • Total: 3-7 days typical

Some transfers complete same-day; others may take 2 weeks if additional verification is needed.

How should I price my Instagram account for sale?

Use these approaches:

Monthly Revenue Method:

  • Monthly income × 12-24 = asking price
  • Example: $500/month × 18 = $9,000

Engagement Method:

  • (Followers × Engagement Rate × Niche Factor) = price
  • Example: 100k × 5% × 1.5 = $7,500

Market Research:

  • Find 3-5 similar accounts on Samzal
  • Price within their range
Are verified Instagram accounts for sale allowed?

Transfers of verified accounts are possible but require additional care:

  • Verification badge may not transfer (Instagram's policy varies)
  • Buyer and seller should discuss verification status upfront
  • Some verified accounts have additional platform restrictions
  • Always confirm transfer eligibility with Instagram's current policies

 

What about Instagram monetization (ads, sponsorships)?

After transfer:

  • Buyer can apply to Instagram monetization programs (if eligible)
  • Sponsorship opportunities depend on niche and engagement
  • Affiliate links may or may not transfer (discuss with seller)
  • Brand partnerships should be disclosed beforehand
What fees does Samzal charge?

Buyers: No fees (pay asking price)

Sellers: 5-10% transaction fee depending on account tier

Example: Sell $5,000 account → pay $250-$500 to Samzal → receive $4,500-$4,750
