Sell an OSRS account safely

Selling an account means giving away something you cannot take back to someone you have never met, on the understanding they will then pay you. Done privately that is an act of faith. Done through escrow it is a sequence with the money already secured.

What changes when the money is held first

  • Funded before the handover

    The buyer's payment is in escrow before you pass a single credential. You are never in the position of having given away an account and hoping.

  • The chat is the record

    Everything agreed about what the account has, and whether the registration email is included, stays attached to the order. Nobody can rewrite it afterwards.

  • 100% of your first three sales

    No commission at all until your fourth completed sale, then a flat 5%. No listing fee, and nothing owed if the account does not sell.

  • No chargeback window

    Release happens on buyer confirmation. There is no card issuer behind them able to claw the money back a month later.

Price it on what it can do

Total level is the number everyone quotes and one of the weakest predictors of value. What buyers pay for is capability — a coherent build that can enter the content it was made for, and the unlocks that gate that content.

Quest completion and achievement diaries are frequently worth more than the levels around them, because they cannot be bought and they open things directly. On an ironman that effect dominates entirely: the drop log and the diary tab are the product.

Bank value on a tradeable account is where sellers most often overprice. Anything tradeable can be bought separately, so a buyer paying a premium for a stocked bank is paying twice — and the informed ones know it.

Be straight about provenance

The first question any competent buyer asks is whether the original registration email is included and unrecovered. Answer it plainly in the order chat, because it is the single largest factor in what your account is worth.

If you have the email and you built the account yourself, say so — that is worth real money and sellers routinely fail to mention it. If you do not have it, say that too and price accordingly. A buyer who discovers it later disputes; a buyer who knew going in does not.

Expect to be asked how long you have held it and whether it has been sold before. Every previous owner is a potential recovery claim, and buyers who understand that will discount for it.

The handover, in order

The buyer orders and their payment moves into escrow. You then pass the credentials, and the registration email where it is included, through the order chat.

The buyer changes the email, password and any authenticator, verifies the account matches what was advertised, and confirms. Your balance is credited less the 5%.

Do not pass anything before the order exists and is funded, and do not agree to complete part of the handover elsewhere. Both requests break the link between what escrow is holding and what you are handing over, and that link is the entire protection.

Describe the account accurately in the listing. Disputes on accounts almost always come down to something the buyer says was implied and the seller says was not — and the listing text plus the order chat is what a reviewer reads.

Before you list an account

  • A free account here, and identity verification approved — government document plus a selfie, 18 or over.
  • Full details ready: stats, quests, diaries, membership status, bank contents.
  • An honest answer on the registration email — included and unrecovered, or not.
  • A payout method saved — crypto, Skrill, Payoneer or SEPA bank transfer.
  • Acceptance that account trading breaches Jagex's rules, and that escrow covers the payment rather than the account.

Your first three sales are free — then 5%, and nothing else

No commission until your fourth completed sale. No listing fees, no subscription and no withdrawal charge, and a listing that never sells costs you nothing. Full breakdown.

Questions

Common questions

How much is my OSRS account worth?

Less about total level than people assume. Build coherence and unlocks — quests, diaries and the access they grant — drive the price, and whether the original registration email comes with it moves it substantially in either direction.

How do I avoid being scammed selling an account?

Never pass credentials before an order exists and is funded, and keep every part of the handover in the order chat. The two moves that get sellers robbed are handing over early and agreeing to finish the deal off-platform.

Do I have to include the registration email?

No, but say clearly which it is. Accounts sold with the original email unrecovered are worth more, because the buyer is getting ownership rather than use. Being vague about it invites a dispute later.

What is the fee for selling an account?

Nothing on your first three completed sales. After that, 5% of the sale price, taken when the order completes. No listing fee, and nothing owed if it does not sell.

Is selling an OSRS account against the rules?

Yes. Account trading breaches Jagex's terms of service, and neither escrow nor verification changes that. Escrow protects the payment side of the transaction and nothing about how Jagex treats either account.
