I make it a habit to inform people selling to me if someone else will have access to the account.

Industry standard is that info will be passed along, the proof being that when no login info will be provided that's usually mentioned when posting what's for sale.

Additionally I'd venture to say you made sure to inform whoever you sold to pretty early in the transaction that you wouldn't be providing login info.
Yes but sometimes when brokers sell accounts they specify that stock is ok...does that mean that anyone who does not specify it's not ok?

I think a big misconception here is that some feel that whatever is done between brokers can be assumed to be the understanding in a transaction with a layman. This is not the case. A layman will make certain assumptions and has the right to do so unless explained otherwise.

As there is major selling discussion going on already.
I want to point out that you need to be very careful and know when and how you will be paid.
A relative of mine was recently scammed/stolen out of 500k UA by a broker.

There are types of accounts that are not ok to stock also there are brokers that are known not to be ok with stock so on the occasion they're ok they'll say.

MR. sold millions of miles, should know better than me who never sold anything. But I'm not giving access to 500k+ before I get the $ unless I know the guy really well. I could send a screen shot first if that helps but not giving access

I'm not sure what the standard is, but hard to believe brokers will give you 8-9k before you gave them access.
You defiantly not known a broker has references...

And this happened with a broker that I had dealt with, was paid 15k without any issue. A few months later he turned a scammer.
