Can I upload a list I bought?

No. Everyone on a list must have asked to hear from you, and you confirm that as you upload it. Bought or scraped lists aren't allowed.

QuestionUpdated 6 Nov 2026

No. Every list needs the consent of everyone on it. As you upload, you tick to confirm it, and the import can't start without it.

Why not

  • People who never asked to hear from you report it as spam.
  • Bought lists are full of dead addresses, and dead addresses bounce.
  • Both harm the sending domains your mail goes out from.

A campaign that bounces too much, or draws spam reports, stops itself: A campaign that protects itself.
