A personal Play account that is already monetizing cannot use a direct owner transfer

Google's current rule makes a personal account that is monetizing ineligible for a direct transfer of ownership. Do not ask for that path and then discover the Console blocks it.

What Guyi can still describe

A checklist handover is login, recovery, two-factor, and the agreed apps and members. It is not an official owner transfer and not a claim that Google approved a sale. If the account is an organization, the legal entity still has to match. Turning a personal account into any company is not available as a rename.

Do not invent a workaround

This page does not teach how to stop monetization in order to qualify, and it does not invent a waiting period. Read the transfer task on this Console. Guyi does not promise review.

Questions

Does turning off ads make the transfer official?

Do not plan the deal on a workaround. Read whether this Console offers a direct owner transfer.

Is an organization account under the same personal-account limit?

The limit named here is for a monetizing personal account. An organization still needs its own legal entity to match.
