YouTube channel marketplace
Buy and sell YouTube channels, with the numbers up front.
A marketplace built only for YouTube channels. Every listing reports subscribers, views, audience, monetization, revenue, and channel standing in the same format, so you can compare channels before you talk price.
How it works
Two sides of a channel sale
A clear, staged process for buyers and sellers, from first search to final handover.
Buying a channel
Search and shortlist
Filter by niche, subscribers, monetization, audience country, age, and price.
Review the evidence
Compare the listing with the seller’s YouTube Studio analytics and revenue reports.
Agree terms and fund escrow
Settle the price and what transfers, then pay into SwapCreators escrow.
Take ownership, then release
Ownership moves through Google’s own tools. Funds release once you confirm.
Selling a channel
Paste your channel link
Public details like subscribers, views, and channel age are filled in for you.
Verify ownership
Add a short code to your channel description, then remove it once checked. No passwords.
Add details and submit
Price, niche, monetization, and any strikes. Screenshots are optional. We review before it goes live.
Agree a deal and get paid
Chat and negotiate offers on-site. Escrow releases payment once the buyer confirms the transfer.
Escrow
The money waits until the channel changes hands
Escrow protects both sides of a sale. The buyer’s payment is held by SwapCreators as escrow agent and released to the seller only after the agreed transfer steps are confirmed.
Stay safe: payment instructions only ever appear inside your SwapCreators transaction. Never send money based on instructions received by chat or email.
How escrow works- 1
The deal is agreed
The seller accepts an offer (or the buyer uses Buy now). The price, the escrow fee, and an escrow code are fixed on the transaction page before any money moves.
- 2
The buyer funds escrow
The buyer pays the price plus the escrow fee into SwapCreators escrow, from site balance or by UPI, Binance Pay, crypto, or bank transfer. The seller is told only once the payment is confirmed.
- 3
The channel moves through the escrow agent
The seller invites the SwapCreators escrow agent as an owner of the channel’s Brand Account. After Google’s 7-day wait, the agent takes primary ownership and hands the channel to the buyer.
- 4
The buyer checks the channel
Once the channel is handed over, the buyer checks access, ownership, and that it matches the listing. Any problem must be raised before funds are released.
- 5
Funds are released
The deal completes when the buyer confirms receipt or the escrow agent releases the funds after the handover. The seller is owed the full price: sellers pay no fees.
Trust & safety
Built to make channel sales safe for both sides
Escrow, verified ownership, and complete listings in every sale.
Payment held in escrow
The buyer’s money is held by SwapCreators and released to the seller only after the channel has been handed over. Neither side has to go first on trust.
Verified channel owners
Sellers prove they control the channel with a one-time code in its description, checked directly with YouTube, and every listing is reviewed by our team before it goes live.
Your account stays yours
Ownership moves through Google’s own permission tools, guided by our escrow agent. No one ever needs your password, recovery codes, or sign-in codes.
Every number in one place
Subscribers, views, audience countries, monetization, revenue sources, and channel age appear in the same format on every listing, so channels are easy to compare.
Full channel history
Copyright strikes, Community Guidelines strikes, and warnings are a required part of every listing, so you know a channel’s standing before you make an offer.
Screenshots and live checks
Sellers can add Studio screenshots and share them privately in chat, and buyers can ask for a live Studio walkthrough before paying.
FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers about buying, selling, escrow, and transfers.
What is SwapCreators?
SwapCreators is a marketplace built only for buying and selling YouTube channels. Every listing reports the same figures in the same format, including subscribers, views, audience, monetization, revenue, and strikes, so buyers can compare channels quickly.
Is SwapCreators affiliated with YouTube or Google?
No. SwapCreators is an independent marketplace and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
How does escrow protect me?
The buyer pays into SwapCreators escrow, not to the seller, and the seller only hears that the buyer has paid once we’ve confirmed the payment. The channel then moves through the SwapCreators escrow agent, and the funds are released to the seller only after the channel has been handed to the buyer. The full rules are in the Escrow Terms.
Escrow protects the payment, not the value of the channel. Do your due diligence before you agree a price, and check the channel as soon as you receive it.
How is ownership of a YouTube channel transferred?
On SwapCreators, the handover is guided step by step by our escrow agent, using Google’s own permission tools for channels connected to a Brand Account. The buyer’s payment stays in escrow the whole time, and the seller is paid once the buyer has the channel.
No one ever needs a Google password, recovery codes, or sign-in codes, so both accounts stay safe throughout.
What will I need to provide as a seller?
Channel statistics, 28-day and longer-term views, audience geography, monetization status, revenue figures with their sources, channel age, any strikes, and a clear description of what transfers with the channel.
Be ready to show evidence from YouTube Studio. You will never be asked for your Google password.
What does “Ownership verified” mean on a listing?
It means the seller proved they control the channel by adding a one-time code to its public description, which SwapCreators checked directly with YouTube. You know you are dealing with the real owner.
Subscribers and views come straight from YouTube. Revenue and analytics are reported by the seller, who can share Studio screenshots with you in chat, and you can ask for a live Studio walkthrough before you pay.
