The anticipated players of Elden Ring are currently purchasing loads of runes on eBay, which might be against the terms of this award-winning video game. Purchasing and selling runes on eBay should never be an option, as the players might get banned from playing the game.

Runes are the game's currency, which the players are actively selling and buying from eBay. The players participating in this gray market sale might face serious concerns such as a ban from the game. A search of Elden Ring Runes on eBay suggests that other listings are available at varied price ranges from 10 to 25 dollars, and some others are even listed at thousands of dollars. By the records, it is assumed that quite a few thousand of the listings have been sold. Though Elden Ring is stated to have tough levels, purchasing these gray market runes will bring potential doomsday for the Elden Ring enthusiasts. 

Selling and purchasing the runes on eBay does not come with absolute advantages. Even after buying the runes, the players cannot use them to advance to the next level directly. But the runes might help the players skip some of the tough challenges of this infamous game. 

This gray market sale is being conducted by sellers organizing a place and time, asking the players to gather further conducting the sale. Sellers are calling purchasers to meet their cooperation partners, where they are dropping the runes on the grounds to be collected by the buyers and sealing the deals of purchase. It is even reported that the sellers are using duplication bugs to meet the thousands of items up for sale.  

An evident report from the Euro games states that sellers are holding bargains and are delivering the runes to the buyers rather than just walking away with the money. This mode of selling and buying runes on eBay or any other platform is highly prohibited in the terms and conditions of Elden Ring. Conducting such acts is against the terms as these acts are being performed in exchange for real money to purchase the in-game items. 

There are various other ways to rely on for cracking the tough challenges of the game. Thus, investing in these gray market runes is quite an unsafe choice with consequences.
