Mixed

Mixed is a catalogue label for services delivered by a combination of account types, typically some with profiles and history and some bare, in proportions the listing does not have to state.

A mixed service comes from a supplier pooling accounts from more than one source, or from a panel blending two services under one listing to reach a price between them. The proportion of each type is the whole question, and it can change from order to order without the name changing. One order can be mostly profiled accounts and the next mostly bare ones.

That makes mixed services hard to judge from a single test. A small test order samples whatever the pool held that day. If you plan to order repeatedly, check a sample of delivered accounts on more than one order before scaling up, and record the count after each so you can see whether drops are consistent.

Drops on a mixed order can be uneven: the bare accounts are the more exposed part, so the count can fall by a chunk and then hold. When a refill applies, it is measured on the total, so a refill that tops up with bare accounts can leave you holding more of the fragile part than before the drop.

What it does not mean

Mixed does not always refer to account quality. In location descriptions it can mean accounts from many countries rather than one, as in worldwide mixed. Read which sense the listing uses: a service described as mixed quality and one described as mixed countries are selling different things, and neither states a proportion.
