No guide: selling fullz and CVVs is illegal in the US

I can't write this guide

Selling fullz or CVV data means selling stolen payment card numbers, cardholder names, addresses, and identity records. That is not a grey area. It is a crime.

What the law says

In the United States, 18 U.S.C. Section 1029 covers fraud and related activity with access devices. Trafficking in card numbers falls under it. Penalties reach 10 years in prison for a first offense and 15 to 20 years for repeat or aggravated cases, plus fines. Section 1028 covers identity documents and identity theft. Buyers face the same statutes as sellers.

What happens in practice

Darknet card markets operate under law enforcement surveillance. Takedowns produce indictments against operators and high-volume vendors. Seized server logs, chat records, and wallet data become trial evidence. Card networks detect compromised numbers, block them, and reissue them, so a stolen number has a short working life. Buyers on those markets also get defrauded by other sellers, and there is no legal recourse for either side.

What I can write about instead

Payment security, PCI DSS scope, chargeback rules, fraud detection, card-not-present risk controls, and identity theft reporting. Those topics are legal and I can cover them in detail.
