What to check before buying a Old School RuneScape account
A Old School RuneScape offer is only as good as the details behind it. Compare the listing's attributes and screenshots against what the title promises, and check the seller's completed orders and reviews before the price.
- Skill levels, quest points and gear shown in screenshots.
- Whether membership time is included.
- Bank value and any bank PIN to be handed over.
Taking over the Jagex account
Most account problems happen after delivery, when the buyer has the login but the original owner still controls recovery. Secure the Jagex account in this order while the order is still inside its review window, and only confirm the order once every step is done.
- Change the Jagex account email and password.
- Move the authenticator to your own device.
- Change the bank PIN.
- Check stats and bank before confirming.
Buying OSRS gold
Gold is delivered in-game by trade. Agree the world and location in the order chat and confirm the amount received before confirming the order.
Selling a Old School RuneScape account on E4U
List combat level, key stats and quest cape progress — buyers search for builds like pures and mains.
E4U charges 11.99% per account sale with no listing fee, and payment is held in escrow until the buyer confirms — so buyers can pay with confidence and you get paid for a delivered order rather than arguing about it.
Check the publisher's rules
Publishers set their own terms on account transfers and trading, and they can change. Read the current Old School RuneScape terms before you buy or sell, and keep every conversation and payment inside E4U so the order record protects you.
Frequently asked
- How is OSRS gold delivered?
- By in-game trade on a world both sides agree in the E4U order chat.
- What if a Old School RuneScape account is taken back after I buy it?
- Raise a problem inside the order's review window. Funds stay held while the case is reviewed against the delivery record and chat history, which is why you should never confirm before securing the account.
