Can you list access to a custom GPT?
You cannot legally list access to a custom GPT by sharing your ChatGPT account or a GPT link, because OpenAI's terms prohibit sharing account access and reselling a consumer ChatGPT subscription. What you can list is an AI agent you build on a commercial API (the OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API) or self-host — where you are the operator and the terms permit commercial resale.
Why a shared GPT link can't be listed
A custom GPT lives inside a personal ChatGPT (Plus/Team) account. Charging for a subscription to it means either sharing your login or pointing subscribers at a link gated by your consumer plan — both of which OpenAI's usage terms prohibit. Anthropic's and Google's consumer terms take the same position for claude.ai artifacts and Gemini Gems.
The practical problem is the same as the legal one: a consumer share link can be revoked or rate-limited at any time, so even if it worked, it would be a fragile thing to charge a monthly fee for.
What you can list instead
- An agent built on a commercial API (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google's API), where you're the operator and pay for usage — commercial resale is expressly permitted.
- A self-hosted agent or runtime you control.
- A setup guide, template pack, or integration where each subscriber connects their own account — provided you're not reselling your credentials.
How Buy My Agent enforces this
Every listing declares its eligibility basis (commercial API, self-hosted, provider-authorized, or buyer-brings-account), and the marketplace's review engine blocks the prohibited cases — a paid listing that resells a consumer ChatGPT/Claude login is rejected before it can go live. This protects creators as much as subscribers: a compliant, API-built agent clears review fastest and doesn't depend on a share link staying up.
Frequently asked
Can I list my custom GPT on a marketplace?
Not as a shared GPT link or account. Rebuild the same workflow on the OpenAI API (where you're the operator) and you can offer subscriptions to it compliantly.
Is it against OpenAI's terms to share a ChatGPT account?
Yes. OpenAI's terms prohibit sharing account access and reselling access to a consumer ChatGPT subscription.
