I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING A VANITY/CUSTOM BITCOIN ADDRESS.

WHOEVER MAKES YOUR ADDRESS WILL HAVE COMPLETE ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT, SINCE THEY WILL HAVE THE PRIVATE KEY USED TO IMPORT THE ADDRESS. IF YOU HAVE MONEY IN YOUR ADDRESS AND THEY USE THE SAME PRIVATE KEY , THEY CAN BASICALLY ACCESS YOUR WALLET. I HAVE TRIED THIS WITH MY TWO ADDRESS.

I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I CREATED/OWN A CUSTOM ADDRESS.

I REPEAT DO NOT USE A CUSTOM ADDRESS UNLESS YOU TRUST THE PERSON WITH WHATEVER MONEY YOU HAVE IN YOUR WALLET.

THIS IS NOT AGAINST:

BUT A SIMPLE WARNING.

Are people really doing this? Would you buy a second hand PayPal account and then link your Bank account to it?

I feel like this should be common sense.

Thanks for warning everyone though.

So you do use Vanity?...

I might just throw a Vanity guide together so that anyone can create their own. Rather than someone else creating them.

No, no matter what you use, you still get the private key.
