Introduction
Buying a YouTube channel? Protect your payment, check the evidence, and take ownership through Escrozon's escrow system.
Find your channel
Start at escrozon.com and open YouTube channels. Compare the niche, the audience, the price, and the seller's history. Treat every listing claim as something to verify.
Check the evidence
Ask the seller for a live YouTube Studio walkthrough. Review the views, traffic sources, revenue, monetization, and any strikes. Then confirm the seller controls the channel, and has the rights to its content.
Agree the handover
Agree the price, what's included, and the ownership transfer plan, in writing. Keep the agreement and every message in the Escrozon deal chat.
Pay through escrow
When you're ready, choose Buy with Escrow Protection. Review the current fee and the total at checkout, then pay. Your payment is held while the channel is transferred.
Payment held
The seller is notified once your payment is secured. Keep the funds in escrow while you inspect the channel and complete the handover.
Take primary ownership
For a Brand Account transfer, accept the owner invitation with your own Google account. Google requires at least seven days as an owner before primary ownership can change. Manager access alone is not ownership.
Check AdSense and monetization
Monetization needs a separate check. The seller's AdSense account is not part of the sale, and AdSense ownership can't be transferred. Link your own eligible AdSense account, and check the channel's monetization status.
Verify, then confirm
Check that you're the primary owner, and that the seller's access is removed as agreed. Secure your Google account, verify the channel, and only then confirm receipt. That releases the seller's price to their Escrozon wallet.
If something doesn't match
If access or delivery is wrong, don't confirm. Open a dispute and provide clear evidence. Phoenix AI can help with the case, and a human moderator decides the outcome.
Three safety rules
Three rules to remember. Always pay through escrow, never outside the deal. Verify the ownership yourself. And never share Google passwords or two-factor codes. Escrow protects the payment, but YouTube's own policies still apply.
Escrozon
Find your next YouTube channel at escrozon.com. Browse. Verify. Use escrow. And confirm only when the handover is complete.
