Elden Ring runes are popping up all over eBay, and you can buy them for real-world cash.
As reported by Eurogamer, players are turning to the online auction platform to sell their runes, which are the equivalent of in-game currency in Elden Ring. Runes are the all-important key to leveling up, purchasing new equipment, and generally progressing throughout the game.
Typically, you can earn runes by way of normal gameplay. It's not the fastest process, especially if you tend to struggle with the game. But you can spend your real-world cash instead if you want to skip all the hard work with a quick trip to eBay.

It's impossible to tell whether the sellers you interact with will actually deliver, or if they'll scam you. Such is the nature of many online transactions, but these types are especially risky.
