Buy and sell YouTube channels

Buying a channel isn't a crime, and YouTube's Terms of Service don't forbid handing a channel to someone else. YouTube has its own way to do it: the owner adds you to the channel's Brand Account and, after seven days, can make you the primary owner. What the terms do forbid is paying for fake subscribers, views or likes, so check a channel's numbers are real before you buy.

The payment is safe when the deal runs through escrow, because the money is held until you confirm the channel is under your control. The other risk is YouTube itself, which escrow can't change. Check strikes, monetization status and where the views come from during the escrow window instead of trusting the seller's description.

Every channel on this page is a live listing with a price and an escrow checkout. Before you agree a price, ask the seller to share their screen in YouTube Studio and open the Earn tab and the traffic sources report. A seller who won't show Studio live is the most common warning sign.

The channel can stay in the Partner Program, but the money goes to whichever AdSense account is linked, and the seller's AdSense never moves with the channel. After the handover you link your own AdSense in YouTube Studio, which YouTube allows once every 32 days. Be careful with listings that promise earnings will carry on untouched, and check the channel's status live before you pay.

Price follows earnings much more than subscribers. Channels about finance, software or business usually earn several times more per thousand views than gaming or entertainment channels with the same views. Compare the earnings on the listings above instead of the subscriber numbers.

That you are the primary owner of the Brand Account and the seller's access is gone, that there are no copyright or Community Guidelines strikes, that views come from search, browse and suggested videos and not from paid promotion, and that monetization is linked to your own AdSense. Confirm receipt only after all four.

Listing is free. Post recent stats with fresh screenshots, and say clearly whether the channel is monetized, whether it has strikes and what's included. When a buyer pays, wait until the deal shows the money is held, then add the buyer as an owner of the Brand Account. After Google's seven-day wait, make them primary owner and remove yourself. When the buyer confirms, your full asking price goes to your EPICSWP wallet.

Older channels do come up here. The join date is in the channel's About section, so ask the seller to show it live instead of sending a screenshot. Age alone isn't value, though: an old channel nobody watches is worth less than a newer one with an active audience, so look at the traffic sources too.

Sort the listings above by price and check the subscriber figure in each listing's details. At that size, ask for the last 28 days of traffic sources in YouTube Studio. A channel whose views mostly come from ads or embeds behaves very differently after a sale than one people find through search and browse.
