Some of my accounts are currently experiencing a 'Withheld ID' restriction, and I am unsure how to fix this. Are these accounts still viable to sell?

Selling restricted accounts could easily lead to disputes if the buyer encounters the same limitation

If the account cannot be recovered, trading will be difficult.

Thanks for the insight, that makes total sense. I definitely don't want to deal with buyer disputes or chargebacks. In your experience, is it worth trying to recover 'Withheld ID' accounts through support/appeals, or is it better to just write them off?

Agreed, it's definitely not worth trading them in this state. Right now I'm just repurposing them for my own support layers. Curious to know if you've ever seen these flags lifted after deleting the flagged posts or changing the account region?
