I've just received this pm from a newbie. I have no intention of selling my account, and I'm not sure if I should report the user. What is the current attitude towards selling accounts? especially if the account is for a merit source.

Shit like this should be treated as nuclear war, i.e., blow his ass to hell with as many missiles as you can.  Give him a neg, report him, and lock him up in a gibbet right in the middle of town so everyone can ridicule him.  That's what I'd do circa 2016, and it's what I'd do in 2025.

Yeah, buying a 10-year old merit source account with positive trust and an excellent reputation....how bad could that end up being, right?  Fortunately I think he would have been caught very quickly if he made a lot of posts; his PM just doesn't read like anything you'd write, Jet Cash.

BTW, always glad to see you here.
