Buying a social media account in Pakistan usually works like this. You find a seller in a Facebook group or a Telegram channel, you agree a price, and then one of you has to go first. Either you send the money and hope the account arrives, or they send the login and hope the money does. Whoever moves first is carrying all of the risk.
PakSocials exists to remove that moment. It is a marketplace for buying and selling Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and other social media accounts, where the payment is held by an escrow contract until the buyer confirms the account is genuinely theirs.
What escrow actually means here
Escrow means a third party holds the money while a deal completes. The usual objection is obvious: now you have to trust the third party instead of the seller.
On PakSocials the money is not held by us. It goes to a contract on BNB Smart Chain, and neither side can move it early, including us. Every step of every deal is written to that chain with a transaction hash, and those hashes are published on our completed deals page so anybody can open them on BscScan and read the same record we read.
That is the difference worth understanding. Most marketplaces ask you to believe their completed sales. Ours can be checked by somebody who trusts nothing on the site.
How a deal works, start to finish
1. The buyer pays into escrow
Each deal gets its own deposit address. The buyer sends USDT to it, and the page moves on by itself when the payment lands. Prices are set in rupees and settled in USDT, because a contract cannot hold a bank transfer.
At the moment the payment arrives, two deadlines are written into the contract: how long the seller has to hand over, and how long the buyer then has to check. Neither can be changed afterwards by either side, or by us.
2. The seller hands over
Login details go through the deal chat, where both sides and our staff can see them. Every platform has its own guide, because a YouTube handover and a Telegram one have almost nothing in common.
If the seller never starts, the buyer takes their money back from the deal page when the deadline passes. That does not need our agreement and it does not need us to be awake.
3. The buyer checks, then the seller is paid
The inspection window is the buyer's protection, and it exists so the account can be locked down properly: password, recovery email, phone number, two factor, and every other session revoked. The deal page lists the exact steps for that platform.
Confirm and the seller is paid instantly. Raise a dispute instead and the deal freezes, with nothing moving until it is resolved.
The deadlines, by platform
These are not the same everywhere, because the platforms are not the same. YouTube gets over a week because Google enforces a seven day wait before a channel's ownership can transfer. Telegram gets a day because a channel can change hands in minutes.
| Platform | Seller has | Buyer has to check |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube | 8 days | 9 days |
| Facebook Page | 3 days | 3 days |
| TikTok | 2 days | 3 days |
| 1 day | 3 days | |
| X (Twitter) | 1 day | 12 hours |
| 1 day | 12 hours | |
| Telegram | 1 day | 12 hours |
| Discord | 1 day | 12 hours |
What it costs
A flat 2.5% of the sale, taken from the seller when a deal completes. The buyer pays nothing on top of the listed price.
Nothing is charged to browse, nothing to list, and nothing if a deal falls through. There is a calculator on the home page: type a price and it shows the three figures, which are the only three figures involved.
What we check before a listing appears
A person reads every listing before it goes live. Not a filter and not a script: someone looks at the screenshots, the handle, and whether the numbers in the listing match the account. Listings that are thin, misleading or unverifiable are sent back with a reason.
What we cannot do is audit the account itself. We cannot see a seller's private analytics or know how an audience was built, which is exactly why the inspection window exists and why it is longer than most people expect.
How the seller record works
Sales, ratings and disputes attach to the seller, not to a listing they can delete and repost. Badges are earned from that record and never granted:
- Pro comes from 10 completed sales, at least 8 ratings, an average of 4.6 or better, and 90 days without losing a dispute
- Legendary needs 200 sales, and a volume threshold alongside it so that two hundred throwaway accounts do not count the same as two hundred real ones
- Fast is measured, not claimed: a median handover under two hours across at least five deals
Buyers rate sellers after a completed deal, and a seller cannot reply to a rating or have it removed. We remove ratings only for abuse, never because a seller asked.
Which platforms we cover
YouTube channels, Facebook pages, Instagram accounts, TikTok accounts, X (Twitter) accounts, Reddit accounts, Telegram channels and Discord servers. Each has its own page with the handover guide for that platform.
The things people ask first
Do I need to know anything about crypto?
You need a wallet that holds USDT on BNB Smart Chain, and that is the whole of it. Prices are shown in rupees as well, so you can see what an account costs in the currency you think in.
What if the seller takes the account back after I pay?
That is what the checking window is for. Before the seller sees a rupee you change the password, the recovery email, the phone number and two factor, and revoke every other session. Once those are yours, the seller has nothing left to take back with.
What if I pay and nothing happens?
The handover deadline runs from the moment your payment lands. When it passes, you reclaim your money yourself from the deal page.
Is this legal?
Buying and selling accounts is not illegal in Pakistan, but it may be against the terms of service of the platform the account sits on. That is between you and them, and it is worth reading before you list or buy. We say this plainly rather than burying it, because a marketplace that pretends otherwise is not being straight with you.
Why should I believe any of this?
You should not have to. Open the completed deals page, pick any row, and check the transaction on BscScan. That is the point of building it this way.
Getting started
If you are buying, browse the accounts for sale and filter by platform, price or size. Every listing shows the seller's record and rating.
If you are selling, listing costs nothing and takes about ten minutes. Have your screenshots ready, be honest about how the account grew, and the review is usually done the same day.
