Why are people selling and buying delivery rider accounts online?
For starters, even though the barriers to entry are quite low, not everyone meets the requirements to be a delivery rider in Singapore.
For instance, you need to be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident in order to work in Singapore, and all the major delivery platforms request proof of citzenship or permanent residency before they approve a rider account.

Someone who is not a citizen nor permanent resident would be able to exploit the sale or rental of rider accounts on Carousell to find work here (illegally).
Some riders are banned or suspended by the delivery platforms for whatever reasons. Buying or renting a rider account on Carousell allows them to circumvent the restriction.
