An Apple ID is not a developer membership

An Apple ID can sign in to Apple's services. An Apple Developer Program membership, individual or organization, is what lets that ID work as a developer account and pay the Program fee, commonly US$99 a year.

Do not buy an ID and call it a membership

If the membership page does not exist, there is no renewal date and no App Store Connect developer role to hand over. A personal Apple ID that shows a name in the store only after enrollment still shows the legal name, not a brand. Guyi does not enroll a shell company and does not promise review.

What to ask

Ask whether the membership is already active, individual or company, the country on the record, and the renewal date. Enterprise is a different program.

Questions

Can two people share one Apple ID as the handover?

No. Two-factor and recovery have to move to the buyer. A shared password in chat is not the six fields.

Does the ID's country set the membership country?

Read the membership record. Do not assume they match, and do not assume either can be switched.
