Look at this official topic – Mandatory grace period
It talks about 24 hour grace period in depth, then at the end it says Youtube is an exception. So, how much grace period for youtube channels?
And what is the safest way to transfer ownership of youtube channel due to the 7day lockout. How does swapd handle it?
YouTube transfers are exempt from the grace period as their transfers take 7 days (Google rules). In that time, a potential buyer has plenty of time to go over the stats/etc as he is added to the channel during the 7-day period.
@Swapd So, the process goes like this –
Seller transfer account to Swapd [It takes 7 days]
Buyer pays the money to Swapd, and Buyer is added to the channel
For next 7 days both Buyer and Swapd is part of the channel’s owner and the buyer can check and verify the channel in this time period.
After 7days buyer becomes owner of the channel.
So total process takes at least 14 d
No, seller ads SWAPD and the buyer to save time. We stay on the channel to watch the transfer. So the transfer is completed in 7 days.
on the other platform rules are like this
Middleman will be Manager
Buyer will be communication manager ( in this case buyer is not able to edit anything )
After 7 days seller transfers primary owner to middleman and buyer pays to seller
