Okay, so let me give an example, that you see constantly on WJ.
Somebody offers to give away a VPS for a month. They're providing free access to a service for a period of time which you'd otherwise have to pay for. So instead of the user having to buy the VPS for a month, they get one given for free.
The above example is allowed, but the below example isn't.
Somebody offers to pay for access to a service for a period of time, of which you'd otherwise have to pay for. But instead of saying "Hur, I'll set the VPS up for you", I'm saying "Hur, I'll pay for you to use their premium service".
Oh, wait, there's no difference. So why was my thread closed?
Apparently it's because I'm "selling accounts" - No, selling involves a sale. Giving away isn't selling, it's giving away. Or it's because I'm "giving away accounts" - No, I'm letting the user choose which service they want, they can set up their own account, I'll simply be upgrading their account and paying for it for 3 months. The accounts don't already exist, thus I'm not giving away accounts.
I don't see the difference between the two examples, apart from the item/service being given away.
