Sellers offer them, but YouTube's Terms of Service ban paying for subscribers, views or likes, and bought subscribers don't watch. A channel that already has 100,000 real subscribers is a different purchase: you're buying an audience someone built, with its view history.
Prices and counts come from live listings and update automatically. This is general information, not legal advice; platform rules change.

Watch: how escrow protects this deal
Nobody has to go first. The payment waits in escrow while the buyer checks the delivery. Here is every step in two minutes.
The buyer pays into escrow before anything is handed over
The seller delivers inside the deal, on the record
The seller is paid when the buyer confirms, or after 30 days without a dispute
Buying or selling something digital with a stranger? Someone has to go first, and that's the risk. Here's how escrow removes it, step by step.
Someone has to go first
Without escrow, the buyer pays first and hopes the seller delivers, or the seller delivers first and hopes to get paid. If the other side disappears, you lose the money or the asset.
What escrow does
Escrow puts a neutral middle between you. The buyer's payment is held in escrow, not by the seller, and it's only released when the buyer confirms the delivery.
Step 1: Agree the deal
It starts with a listing. Sellers list for free, and buyers ask questions in the deal chat. Together, you agree the price and exactly what's included.
Step 2: Pay into escrow
Next, the buyer pays through checkout: the seller's price, plus the escrow fee. The money is now held, and both sides see funds held on the deal.
Step 3: The seller delivers
Now the seller delivers, exactly as agreed, inside the deal. That might mean adding the buyer as an owner of a channel, or uploading the files.
Step 4: Inspect and confirm
The buyer inspects everything against the agreement. When it all matches, the buyer confirms receipt. If something's missing, they don't confirm yet.
Step 5: The seller gets paid
Confirming releases the seller's price to their wallet. From there, the seller can withdraw it, or spend it on the marketplace.
Built-in protection
Two safeguards protect both sides. The buyer has up to thirty days after delivery starts, with a reminder seven days before the automatic release. And if something is wrong, the buyer opens a dispute before confirming. The money stays frozen, and a human moderator decides.
What it costs
The costs are simple. Listing is free. The buyer pays a 6% escrow fee at checkout, and there's a 3% fee to withdraw from your wallet. Always check the current fees at checkout.
Escrozon
That's escrow, made simple. Agree, pay, deliver, and confirm. Find your next deal at escrozon.com.
Timing note: the narration describes the normal path. If the buyer neither confirms nor opens a dispute within 30 days of delivery starting, escrow releases the payment to the seller automatically.
Six figures of subscribers draws attention, but the number can outlast the audience that created it. See how many people still watch and what kind of videos brought them in.
Compare regular uploads
Look at a run of recent videos, not only the channel's biggest hits. Returning viewers and traffic sources help show whether the audience is still present.
Understand the content engine
A large channel may depend on a particular host, team or licensed material. Ask what staff, files, rights and brand assets are part of the sale.
Confirm account health
Check monetization status, claims and strikes in YouTube Studio. Have the seller explain the ownership transfer and any recovery access before payment.
Common questions
No. Earnings depend on current views, the audience, available ad inventory and monetization status.
Yes. Viewers can unsubscribe, and a change in content or presenter may affect the audience.
Current YouTube Studio analytics, channel standing and a written list of the content and other assets included.
Escrozon holds payment during delivery and inspection. Review the listing and check what you receive before confirming. If there is a problem, open a dispute within the deal; if you neither confirm nor dispute, payment may be released to the seller 30 days after delivery starts.
Document the difference in the deal and open a dispute before confirming receipt. A moderator reviews the listing, chat and evidence from both sides. The outcome depends on that review; a refund is not automatic.
