To access services and marketing channels (blogging on Naver Blog, posting on Naver Cafe, using Naver Pay or Naver Shopping features) faster than creating and building a fresh account.

To use “aged” accounts that look more legitimate for SEO, promotions, or listing services.

Because sellers promise a “clean,” verified, or long‑lived account for a low fee.

Those reasons explain the market. But the practical and legal realities behind the scenes make buying accounts a shortcut with frequent dead ends.

What Naver’s rules actually say (short and critical)

Naver’s Terms of Service explicitly forbid selling, transferring, lending, or otherwise giving others control of your account. Using someone else’s account is also prohibited. That means a purchased account already starts life in breach of the platform’s rules — and platforms enforce rules primarily by automated detection and by responding to reports.
Naver Policy

Because the transaction itself violates the provider’s rules, the platform has every right to suspend or permanently restrict the account if it detects suspicious changes (location, device, or recovery info) or if the account’s prior activity looks abusive. Many suspended accounts display messages like “account joined from abuse‑suspicious location” or “login restriction” and demand identity confirmation.

Real risks you’re likely to face when you buy a Naver account
1. Immediate or eventual suspension / ban

Account transfers change login patterns and recovery details; automated systems flag that as high risk. Sellers selling at scale often re‑use or resell the same accounts, or accounts were created in bulk for spam — that’s a clear red flag for suspension. When the account is frozen, you have little recourse because the account never legitimately belonged to you.

2. Seller scams and vanishing sellers

Many “account marketplaces” are shady. After payment, the seller can disappear—or the account credentials may already be compromised, shared, or tied to illicit activity. There’s also the risk the seller retains some recovery method (email, phone number, national ID) and can reclaim or extort you later. Recent reports and community threads show this is common.

3. Inherited bad reputation and service penalties

If the account was previously used for spam, fake reviews, votes, or other manipulative behaviors, your new activity inherits that history. That leads to algorithmic demotion or targeted moderation and can permanently harm any brand or project you associate with the account.

4. Data security & privacy exposures

Buying accounts often involves third‑party intermediaries or leaked credential lists — that’s a privacy nightmare. The account may be linked to stolen personal data; using it could entangle you in fraud investigations. Worse: if law enforcement investigates the original misuse, you can be questioned as the current holder. (Various consumer protection reports in Korea show online‑shopping and account scams rose in recent years.)

5. Financial risks and legal exposure

If the purchased account is tied to payment tools (Naver Pay, merchant tools), funds, or service credits, those funds could be frozen or seized. Selling/using another person’s identity can also violate local laws depending on how the account was set up (identity fraud, document misuse).

What typically happens after a ban or theft — and how Naver responds

When Naver detects suspicious activity it may:

Temporarily restrict login or place the account under “account protection” and require identity verification.

Force mobile verification or require Korean‑ID validation for continued use. In many cases, mobile verification and verification via overseas numbers are limited — complicating recovery if you aren’t the original owner.

Community reports (forums, Reddit threads, travel groups) show buyers often hit a wall: the account is locked, the verification page blocks foreign numbers, and the seller is unresponsive. That’s why many people who thought they “bought a good account” end up permanently blocked from Naver services.
