Buying OpenAI credits

An OpenAI balance is only useful if the intended workload can use it under the applicable agreement. Start with permission and account requirements, then compare the cost. We review inquiries; we do not sell a transferable OpenAI credit voucher.

Free to inquire. Availability, eligibility and permission are reviewed individually. This page is a buyer guide, not live inventory.

What to confirm before paying

Permission comes before price

OpenAI’s Service Credit Terms prohibit transfers and sales of service credits. A claimed balance or working API key does not establish permission. Ask for the applicable agreement and any explicit provider approval before considering an arrangement.

Model access and throughput

List the models, requests per minute and tokens per minute your application needs. Ask for evidence of access and limits for the specific organisation being proposed. A larger balance does not answer those questions.

API usage versus a ChatGPT subscription

State that your inquiry is for API workloads. A consumer subscription and an API billing balance are different purchases; the offer must specify exactly which service it covers.

Balance, expiry and control

Request dated evidence of the remaining balance and expiry, identify who controls billing and access, and agree how usage is measured. Do not send a secret API key through our inquiry form.

Check the source: OpenAI Service Credit Terms. Your applicable agreement determines what is permitted.

What happens after your inquiry

We review your provider, budget and workload, aiming to respond within 24–48 hours. If there is a potential fit, we seek consent before sharing contact details. You and the seller agree any permitted arrangement, price, fees and payment terms in writing. WeBuyAPI does not hold purchase funds, provide escrow or guarantee delivery.

OpenAI buyer questions

Can I buy someone else’s OpenAI credit balance?

OpenAI’s published Service Credit Terms prohibit credit sales and transfers. We cannot override those terms. Submit requirements only for review of whether there is an expressly permitted arrangement; an introduction is not confirmation of permission.

Does a successful API call prove an offer is suitable?

It proves only that a particular request worked at that moment. You still need to establish permission, the required models and limits, expiry, billing responsibility and what happens if access stops.
