Facebook’s algorithms are constantly getting stricter. The platform does not trust new accounts without history: they are more likely to trigger checks and get restricted. Before you launch ads, connect a Business Manager, and scale your campaigns, you need to warm up your page. This takes time. To avoid waiting, many specialists choose aged or warmed accounts — old profiles that already have activity and system trust. In this article, we’ll explain where to buy such accounts and how to check them.

What is an aged and warmed Facebook account?
A Facebook account can be aged (old), warmed, or verified.
Aged Facebook account
An aged or old Facebook account is a profile that has existed for at least a few months; ideally, six months or more. An aged page has a login history, a complete profile description, and sometimes posts. Its main value is its age. Even if the owner was not very active, the profile does not look like a fresh registration. Facebook’s algorithms restrict such profiles less often and more frequently unlock features that are not available to new pages.
Warmed Facebook account
A warmed Facebook account is an actively used profile. It can be a personal page that belongs to a real user, or it can be an account created and warmed up over time by liking posts, leaving comments, and adding friends. Algorithms treat this behavior as natural. Marketers and affiliate marketing specialists use such pages to launch ads without long checks.
Warming up an account is called farming. We explain how to warm up Facebook pages here.
The best results usually come from accounts that meet both criteria: aged and warmed.
Verified Facebook account
A verified Facebook account is a profile confirmed with a document or a selfie. It usually has a verification badge and belongs to public figures, brands, or bloggers. The platform trusts verified accounts: they go through fewer checks. As a result, ad posts appear in the feed faster.
However, buying verified accounts is not recommended. First, they are strongly tied to the original owner — their documents, geolocation, and device. If a check happens, you will not be able to confirm the identity. Second, the owner can always recover the verified account. They only need to start the recovery process and provide their documents.
Common use cases for buying aged Facebook accounts
Aged and warmed accounts are used for fast and stable work with Facebook ads. They are also useful when you need to unlock features that are not available to new accounts. For example, sending unlimited messages or adding links to posts.
Targeted ads in Meta Ads
Meta Ads (formerly Facebook Ads) is a platform that allows you to run ad campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. The system limits advertising options for new users. Aged accounts have more trust, so you can launch ads faster and work with larger budgets. This is important for marketers, agencies, and affiliate marketing specialists.
Here we explain the most common reasons why ad accounts get blocked on Facebook.
Selling on Facebook Marketplace
Marketplace is a platform inside Facebook where users can buy, sell, and exchange goods and services. It is not available to all new users. At the same time, aged or warmed accounts allow you to create product listings and promote them through the Ads Manager.
Setting up Business Manager
In Business Manager, you can manage multiple accounts and ad accounts, as well as connect a pixel to your website. New pages are harder to integrate into Business Manager. Aged accounts pass verification more easily when connecting to Business Manager and allow creating ad creatives without strict limits on quantity or budget. You can also manage access to different pages in Business Manager. This is convenient when a team works on the same project.
SMM and community promotion
For SMM specialists, account age also affects the platform’s trust. With high activity, new pages quickly attract the attention of Facebook’s algorithms. They have limits on the number of messages, comments, and posts in groups. Aged accounts allow you to manage pages freely, assign roles in communities, and actively engage with the audience without worrying about restrictions.
Digital marketing and affiliate marketing
In digital and affiliate marketing, speed of testing and stability are crucial. Aged accounts allow you to launch new ads without getting banned and test creatives without long checks.
Anonymity
Some people buy aged or warmed accounts to have a backup profile or to avoid linking their activity to their main page: for example, when they want to view sensitive or controversial content. A second account also allows you to create a new digital identity and communicate anonymously. This can be relevant for journalists.
Best sources for buying aged Facebook accounts
Facebook accounts can be bought and sold on different platforms. These services differ in price, level of transaction protection, and the way Facebook account access is transferred.
Escrow platforms and marketplaces
Escrow platforms and marketplaces are services where sellers post their offers. For example, FunPay, Playerok, and GGSel. In the search bar, you can enter “Facebook account” and see which offers are active. These platforms usually have seller ratings.
The marketplace acts as an intermediary and provides an escrow, or a guarantee system. The buyer chooses a service or product and pays for it. The system holds the money until the user confirms that everything is fine. Only after that does it transfer the payment to the seller.
Brokers on forums and in chats
A broker is an intermediary you can find on Telegram or on niche forums. For example, SearchEngines Guru, Zismo, and AddSet. A broker selects accounts based on your request and helps negotiate the price. This option is often more affordable, but it is risky because you do not receive any guarantees.
Freelance platforms
On freelance platforms like Kwork and Profi.ru, users publish their services. You can find offers for selling social media accounts there, including Facebook pages. You can search manually or post your own request. For example, “Looking for 10 Facebook profiles aged 1 year or more”. Sellers will then contact you directly.
Most freelance platforms use escrow, which protects transactions. However, many platforms prohibit the sale of social media accounts, so such offers are often removed from search results.
Social media
On social media, Discord, and Telegram, you can find dedicated niche groups or channels. By searching for “affiliate marketing,” we quickly found Telegram chats like “Marketing Affiliate Traffic Consortium” and “FB-killers Chat for media buyers,” among others. In such communities, there are people who sell accounts for different platforms, including Facebook pages. You negotiate the price, request screenshots or screen recordings, and clarify how access will be transferred. After that, you send the payment. This option is usually cheaper, but it does not provide any guarantees.
Important: Do not use payment links sent by the seller. Open payment services yourself instead of following a URL from a chat. This helps protect your payment details in case of a scam.
Specialized services
These are platforms focused on selling social media accounts. Among them are dark.shopping, AccsMarket, and CrazyFB. Here, you can find old and warmed pages registered manually or automatically, promoted profiles, verified accounts or accounts with Business Manager. These platforms work both ways — you can not only buy the type of profile you need but also post your own offer for sale.
The description usually includes all key details: account age, activity level, profile completeness, and the access transfer format. After payment, there is a verification period from a few minutes to a couple of hours. If the account immediately goes into a checkpoint, the platform may ask the seller to replace it with another one.
Checkpoint is an automatic security check that Facebook launches when it detects suspicious activity. The system temporarily restricts the page or ad account and asks you to confirm that you are the real owner.

How to evaluate an account before purchase
Before buying, carefully review the account description. If you are purchasing directly from a seller, ask as many questions as possible. For example, when the account was created, how access will be transferred, what the profile is linked to, which country it was registered in, and whether you will get access to the original email. The more detailed the answers, the lower the risk of getting a problematic account.
Registration date. One of the key parameters that shows the age of the profile. The longer it has existed, the more stable it usually is in the eyes of the algorithms.
Access and linked data. Find out whether the profile is linked to an email and phone number. The email should be transferred together with full access to it. If the account is linked to a phone number, ask whether the seller will be able to receive verification codes and send them to you. Otherwise, you risk losing the profile during the first security check.
Profile activity. If you know the account ID or username, review the profile. Check whether it has posts, friends, reactions, and subscriptions. An empty profile that has not been used for a long time may trigger additional checks.
Country of registration. Clarify which country the profile was created in and which region is set in the settings. After the purchase, you should work from the same geolocation. Otherwise, the risk of getting into a checkpoint increases.
Violation history. Ask whether the account was used for spamming. It is also important to review the ad history: whether there were restrictions, warnings, and whether campaign launches are available.
Business infrastructure. If you are buying a profile for advertising, check whether it is connected to an ad account, whether Business Manager has been created, and whether there are any restrictions.
Verification. If the profile has passed identity verification, clarify what data the system requested. In most cases, verified accounts are too tightly linked to the original owner.
Not all information can be included in a sales offer, so buyers often ask to see key sections. Request screenshots or screen recordings of the following pages:
Security and Login: Settings → Security and Login.
Ad Settings: Settings → Ads → Ads Preferences.
Account Quality: Account Quality.
Ad Account Overview: Ads Manager → Account Overview.
Business Manager Access: Business Settings.
Activity Log: Activity Log.
Login History: Access and Control → Recent Activity.
System Notifications: Notifications.
A short screen recording with personal data hidden is the best option. This allows you to see the real condition of the profile before the owner transfers access.
Common mistakes to avoid
Even a high‑quality profile can be lost in the first few days if you make mistakes.
Mistakes before buying an account
Buying without guarantees. Paying directly without escrow or a verification period often results in lost money.
A suspiciously cheap profile. A price far below market level almost always means risk. For example, sellers may offer stolen profiles, pages without access to the original email, or mass‑registered accounts.
No access to the original email. If you are not given the original email and full access to it, the profile is not truly yours.
Pre-existing restrictions. Before the deal, check the Account Quality section. It shows system warnings, document requests, and ad restrictions.
Third‑Party links. Make sure the profile is not connected to other platforms or data. For example, Instagram, third-party apps, ad accounts, payments, or subscriptions. Any such link may allow the previous owner to recover the page.
Suspicious login history. If the profile was regularly used from different countries and devices, it may already be under system monitoring.
Mistakes after buying an account
Not changing the details. After the purchase, you should immediately change the password, email, and phone number. Also enable two‑factor authentication (2FA). Without this, the account remains vulnerable, and the seller may regain access.
Sudden behavior changes. Facebook’s algorithms are sensitive to sudden activity spikes, especially on aged or warmed profiles. Launching ads in the first hour, connecting Business Manager, or changing all profile details at once may look like a hack to the system.
Logging in from different IP addresses. Geography is especially important when working with ads. If the account was created in one country and you start using it from another, the risk of checks and restrictions increases. That is why you should use relevant IP addresses.
Facebook’s policy on buying accounts
Meta’s official rules prohibit the transfer of personal profiles. The Terms of Service state that a user may have only one personal page and must not share login details or transfer the profile to another person. This means that any sale or purchase of an account violates the platform’s rules because it involves a change of ownership.
At the same time, you can create multiple ad accounts and business pages and manage them. However, every business account is always linked to a personal profile. So when a seller offers a business profile, they are still transferring access to a personal account, which violates Meta’s rules.
How Facebook detects a change of ownership
Meta analyzes the IP address and tracks the device, fingerprint, login region, activity time, and behavior patterns. If a profile was used for a long time for personal posts and messages, and then is suddenly accessed from another country, a new device, and used to create an ad account, the system may treat this as a hack. Facebook will send the profile for review and ask to confirm the account owner identity. For example, it may request a code from the original email or phone number, a document upload, or a video selfie. If the new owner cannot pass the verification, the profile will be blocked.
How to reduce the risk of a ban after buying an account
The main mistake is logging into every account at once from a regular browser. For Facebook, this looks like one person suddenly accessing multiple accounts from a new device in a different region. This usually ends with a сheckpoint and a restriction.
To avoid this, you need to recreate a natural login environment. The easiest way to do this is by using anti-detect browsers, such as Octo Browser, and using proxies. An anti-detect browser replaces the digital fingerprint with a different real one, while proxies help preserve the account’s region.
Octo Browser offers a built‑in Proxy Shop that sells verified residential IP addresses. All Octo users can purchase them with discounts of up to 60%.
Each profile in anti-detect browsers works independently. After the purchase, you create a separate browser profile with its own fingerprint, assign a proxy from the required region, and log into a purchased Facebook account. Then you create the next profile and repeat the process. You need to do this each time for each separate Facebook account. As a result, you log into each account from your regular device, but for Facebook, each profile looks like a separate device with the same geo, which minimizes the risk of bans. Anti-detect browsers for multi-accounting also prevent confusion, account cross‑linking, and accidental logins from the wrong IP address, which often happen when managing multiple accounts manually.
Tip: In Octo Browser, you can assign a custom name or tag to each profile. For example, FB‑USA‑100k.
Best practices: how to transfer accounts as safely as possible
Experienced sellers work through anti-detect browsers, including Octo Browser. This minimizes the risk of a negative reaction from Facebook. Here is how it works: the seller creates a separate profile in their anti-detect browser, connects a proxy, and registers a new Facebook page from this environment. From that moment, the account exists within one consistent digital environment.
Next, the seller warms up the profile: fills in the details, publishes content, scrolls the feed, and joins groups. In other words, they behave like a regular user. Some actions can be handled by the built‑in Cookie Robot offered by Octo Browser.
When the account is ready, the seller lists it for sale. During the deal, the seller uses the built‑in transfer feature in Octo Browser to transfer the browser profile to another Octo account. The anti‑detect browser profile is then handed over to the new owner together with the Facebook account inside it.
The new owner needs to first connect a proxy from the same region where the account was previously used. Then they launch the required anti‑detect profile with the Facebook page and continue working without changing the fingerprint. For Meta’s algorithms, nothing changes: the account looks like the same user. This approach allows you not only to manage multiple Facebook pages but also to transfer them without bans.
FAQ
Is it legal to buy Facebook accounts?
In most countries, buying accounts is not prohibited. Such transactions are usually treated as the transfer of a digital asset between two parties. However, Facebook’s rules prohibit the sale, purchase, and transfer of personal profiles. One account must belong to one person.
Can bought accounts be banned?
Yes. Bans are possible if you ignore basic precautions. For example, suddenly changing the login country, device, or language, or immediately connecting an ad account and trying to launch ads. Facebook’s algorithms may treat this as a hack or a violation of platform rules. That is why we recommend working with such accounts through anti-detect browsers like Octo Browser, assigning each profile an IP address from the region specified in the account settings and not changing it.
What makes an account aged (old) and warmed?
An aged (old) and warmed account needs to exist for a significant period of time, ideally six months or more. It also needs to have a consistent login history from the same device, accumulated cookies, regular activity, posts, reactions, and messages. Accounts with a successful ad history are especially valuable. If ads have already passed moderation without restrictions, it means the system trusts the profile. For the algorithms, such a page looks like a real user.
Do aged accounts improve ad performance?
Yes. Aged accounts typically pass moderation faster and may receive higher spending limits and be allowed to run more ads. For the algorithms, such profiles appear more reliable and predictable. As a result, they tend to perform more consistently than new accounts, which require time to build history and trust.
Should I change recovery details after buying a Facebook account?
Yes, you should. Start by updating your login details: change the password, recovery email, and phone number. Other profile details should be adjusted gradually. A step‑by‑step approach reduces the risk of bans and helps you adapt the account more safely over time. Experienced sellers create and transfer ready‑made accounts through anti‑detect browser profiles, such as Octo Browser. This allows you to continue managing the account within the same digital environment and with the same fingerprint. For Meta’s algorithms, nothing changes in this scenario. The profile appears exactly as it did under the previous owner.
