Section 01 — Introduction

What Is RuneHeaven?

RuneHeaven (runeheaven.com) is a verified, community-powered peer-to-peer marketplace built exclusively for Old School RuneScape players. It connects real verified sellers with real verified buyers across every major OSRS service category — all within a platform engineered for trust, transparency, and community accountability.

Unlike direct gold-selling websites that act as corporate vendors, or chaotic Discord servers where anyone can claim anything, RuneHeaven operates as a structured, moderated marketplace. Real OSRS players list their own services at their own prices. Real buyers browse, compare, and contact sellers directly. Every seller builds a public, verifiable reputation through authentic buyer reviews. And the entire ecosystem is backed by staff moderation and dispute mediation.

The result is a marketplace where quality providers rise naturally, prices are genuinely competitive, buyers have real visibility into who they're dealing with, and every transaction has structural protection from start to finish. This is what sets RuneHeaven apart — not marketing claims, but architecture.

RuneHeaven's Core Philosophy

Community over corporation. RuneHeaven does not sell anything itself. It provides the infrastructure — verified identities, reputation badges, private chat, moderation, and dispute resolution — and lets the OSRS community do what it does best: serve each other with skill, passion, and accountability. Every service on the platform comes from a real player who knows the game and has built a track record to prove it.

Free to join: Creating a RuneHeaven account is 100% free. Browsing all listings, contacting sellers, and leaving reviews costs nothing. There are no subscription fees, no buyer commissions, and no access gates. The platform is fully open to the entire OSRS community.
Section 02 — Services

Every Service on RuneHeaven — Complete Breakdown

RuneHeaven hosts listings across eight major service categories. Here is a complete, detailed breakdown of everything available on the marketplace:

💰 OSRS Gold Trading

The most active category on the marketplace. Community sellers list their available OSRS GP at their own chosen price per million, with custom minimum order sizes, stock quantities, and accepted payment methods. Buyers browse, compare prices and seller reputation badges side by side, and contact sellers through the platform's private real-time chat to arrange the trade. Gold prices are genuinely competitive because sellers compete openly — no fixed platform markup, no artificial rate floors. Sorting by Price: Low to High instantly surfaces the best available rate in the market.

👤 OSRS Account Sales

RuneHeaven's account marketplace covers every OSRS account type: maxed mains with 99 in all skills ($200–$1,000+), combat pures built for specific PvP brackets ($30–$300+), ironman accounts of all sub-types ($80–$600+), level 3 skillers ($50–$400+), mid-game starter accounts with key quests done ($15–$80), and Group Ironman builds ($40–$250+). Every listing includes full stat breakdowns, quest completion status, bank value estimates, and notable unlocks. Account value is driven by total level, quest cape status, bank contents, Achievement Diary completions, and a clean ban history.

⚡ Power Leveling & Skill Training

Hire experienced OSRS players to train any of the game's 23 skills — from the most profitable (Herblore, Construction) to the most tedious (Agility, Runecrafting). Providers list their method, XP per hour rate, gear requirements, and estimated completion time per level range. Whether you need 1–99 Agility, a specific Slayer target, or just 70 Prayer for prayers, skill training services on RuneHeaven cover it all. Prices typically range from $5–$50 per skill training engagement depending on the skill, level range, and speed of method.

📜 Quest Completion Services

From simple novice quests to the most brutal Grandmaster completions in the game, RuneHeaven's verified questers handle the entire quest on your account. Commission single quests, full quest cape packages, requirement chains for key content (Barrows Gloves, Crystal gear, Desert Treasure II rings), or bundled quest series. Popular services include: Recipe for Disaster (Barrows Gloves), Desert Treasure II (Ancient Rings), Monkey Madness II (Dragon Crossbow access), Song of the Elves (Prifddinas + Crystal gear), Dragon Slayer II, Lunar Diplomacy, Fremennik Exiles, and full Quest Cape completion packages. Quest prices typically range from $5 for simple novice quests to $80+ for full quest cape packages.

🐉 Bossing, PvM & Raids

Elite PvM players list carry services across OSRS's hardest boss content. This covers solo bosses (Zulrah, Vorkath, Abyssal Sire, Kraken, Sarachnis), God Wars Dungeon (all four factions), the full raids trilogy (Chambers of Xeric, Theatre of Blood, Tombs of Amascut), and endgame encounters (Nex, Corporeal Beast). Buyers keep all loot that drops during the service. Common requests include specific kill counts, targeted drop farming, combat achievement grinding, and pet hunting services. Prices range from $10–$25 per session for most solo boss services, and $12–$30 per raid carry.

🏆 Achievement Diaries, Capes & Minigames

Achievement Diary completions are among the most high-value QoL services in OSRS. Providers list diary completions across all 12 regions — Lumbridge, Varrock, Ardougne, Karamja, Morytania, Desert, Fremennik, Falador, Kandarin, Western Provinces, Wilderness, and the Kourend & Kebos region — covering Easy, Medium, Hard, and Elite tiers. Cape services include the Fire Cape (from $15), Infernal Cape (from $35, depending on account stats and gear), and Dizana's Quiver (from $25). Minigame services cover Barbarian Assault (Fighter Torso), Pest Control, Soul Wars, and others.

🛠️ Custom & Specialist Services

The marketplace's open custom category accommodates any OSRS service not covered by standard listings. Active custom services include: Corrupted Gauntlet carries, Combat Achievement speed runs, PKing coaching, Group Ironman boosting, collection log hunting, clue scroll completion services, Leagues point grinding, account preparation packages (getting an account quest and stat ready for specific content), and virtually anything else a skilled OSRS player is willing to offer. If you can do it in the game, you can list it on RuneHeaven.

Section 03 — Trust & Safety

RuneHeaven's Trust Infrastructure

Trust is not a marketing claim on RuneHeaven — it is an engineered system. Six structural features work together to create an accountable, transparent, and safe marketplace environment for every single transaction.

🔐
Verified Email Identity

Every account requires a real, verified email address. Temporary and disposable addresses are automatically blocked at registration. This ensures every person behind a listing, review, or message is a real, accountable individual — not a throwaway profile.

🏅
5-Tier Reputation Badges

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Dragon, and Rune badges are earned exclusively through verified buyer reviews. They cannot be purchased, inflated, or transferred. Every badge represents real completed transactions with real satisfied buyers — displayed publicly on every listing.

💬
Private Real-Time Chat

All buyer-seller communication happens within RuneHeaven's built-in private messaging system. No external Discord DMs or public channels. Every conversation is logged within the platform, creating a documented record available during any dispute or mediation.

⚖️
Staff Dispute Mediation

Any transaction can be escalated to RuneHeaven's moderation team for formal dispute resolution. Staff review the complete in-platform chat history and work toward a fair outcome for both parties — a protection layer no Discord server or forum can provide.

🕐
24/7 Active Moderation

RuneHeaven operates around-the-clock human moderation — not just automated filters. Any listing, user, or message can be reported instantly. Bad actors are removed quickly and consistently, keeping the marketplace clean for legitimate providers and buyers.

📋
Full Listing Transparency

Every listing shows the seller's price, stock, payment methods, badge tier, and complete review history — all before a buyer sends a single message. No hidden fees. No bait-and-switch pricing. Total information transparency on every transaction.

Section 04 — Reputation

The Badge System — Earned Trust, Not Claimed Trust

RuneHeaven's five-tier reputation badge system is the single most important trust feature on the platform. Every badge tier is earned through real, verified buyer reviews — impossible to purchase, inflate, fake, or transfer. Here is exactly what each tier means:

RuneHeaven Reputation Framework
Five Tiers of Verified Trust
All earned through real buyer reviews — zero artificial inflation possible
🥉
Bronze
1+ verified reviews
First confirmed transaction. New but accountable. Entry point to the reputation system.
🥈
Silver
15+ verified reviews
Established seller. Consistent delivery pattern forming. Growing buyer confidence.
🥇
Gold
50+ verified reviews
Experienced, proven, trusted. Strong historical delivery rate. Preferred by most buyers.
🐉
Dragon
100+ verified reviews
Elite provider. Deep verified track record. Consistently high conversion rate.
⚔️
Rune
200+ verified reviews
Top-tier status. The most trusted, most sought-after providers on the platform.

Your badge tier is displayed on every listing you publish. For buyers, this means instant, meaningful trust signal before a single message is sent. For sellers, reaching higher badge tiers is the single most impactful thing you can do to increase listing visibility, buyer confidence, and conversion rates.

💡
Buyer strategy: For any service over $20 in value, prioritise Gold-tier (50+ reviews) sellers as a minimum. For high-value transactions — accounts, quest capes, long power leveling engagements — Dragon (100+) or Rune (200+) sellers represent the strongest available assurance on the platform.
Section 05 — Buying Guide

How to Buy on RuneHeaven — Full Process

Whether you're buying gold, an account, or a service, the buying process on RuneHeaven follows the same structured, protected flow. Here is the complete step-by-step guide for buyers:

Create Your Free Account

Register at runeheaven.com/register.html with a username (3–20 chars), a real email address, and a password. Verify your email to activate full platform access. Takes under two minutes and costs nothing — no payment information required at any stage.

Browse the Marketplace

Go to runeheaven.com/marketplace.html. Filter by your desired service category. Sort by Newest, Price (Low to High), Price (High to Low), or Top-Rated Seller depending on your priority — price efficiency vs maximum reputation assurance.

Evaluate Seller Listings Thoroughly

For each listing, review: the seller's badge tier and total verified review count, the listing description for all relevant details, the price and minimum order, accepted payment methods, and stock availability. Read recent reviews to understand current delivery reliability.

Contact the Seller via Private Chat

Click the chat button on your chosen listing. Introduce yourself and ask any outstanding questions — delivery timeline, method specifics, account requirements, stock confirmation. All discussions within this chat are logged and protected.

Confirm All Deal Terms in Writing

Before paying, confirm in the chat: exact scope of the service or item, agreed price, payment method, delivery method and timeline, and any specific details (RSN, world, meeting spot for gold; account stats for services). Written confirmation in RuneHeaven chat is your protection.

Complete Your Payment

Pay using the exact method specified in the seller's listing. Keep your payment receipt or confirmation. Only use payment methods the seller listed publicly — never agree to alternative methods suggested mid-conversation that weren't in the original listing.

Receive & Verify Your Purchase

For gold: confirm the trade window amount before accepting; screenshot the completed trade. For accounts: verify all stats, quests, and contents before confirming receipt; secure the account immediately after. For services: check completion against the agreed scope before confirming done.

Leave a Verified Review

After successful delivery, return to the seller's listing and leave an honest, verified review. Your review builds the seller's badge tier, helps future buyers make informed decisions, and keeps the RuneHeaven community genuinely trustworthy — your most important post-purchase action.

Section 06 — Selling Guide

How to Sell on RuneHeaven — Full Process

Listing and selling services on RuneHeaven is free, fast, and gives you full control over your pricing, payment methods, and availability. Here is the complete seller process:

Register & Verify Your Account

Create your account at runeheaven.com/register.html with a real email address. Verify your email before listing. Consider adding a profile picture to make your seller identity more recognizable to buyers browsing your listings.

Go to Create Listing

Navigate to runeheaven.com/create-listing.html. This is the listing form where you configure your entire offering. Buyers will discover you through the marketplace and contact you directly through the platform chat — no advertising required.

Choose the Right Category

Select the most accurate category for your service — Gold, Accounts, Power Leveling, Questing, Bossing, Diaries, or Custom. Correct categorisation ensures your listing appears when buyers filter specifically for your service type.

Write a Compelling, Specific Title

Be specific and informative. Include the service name, a key metric, and a differentiator. Examples: "99 Slayer — 80K XP/hr, Efficient Methods, All Accounts" or "50M OSRS Gold — Fast Delivery, All Worlds, Competitive Rate." Specific titles significantly outperform vague ones.

Write a Comprehensive Description

Cover everything relevant to your service: method used, delivery timeline, minimum and maximum order sizes, any account requirements (stats, quests, gear), what's included, and what makes your service reliable. Detailed descriptions attract more serious buyers and reduce back-and-forth before purchase.

Set Your Price (USD)

Research comparable active listings in your category before pricing. As a new seller building your first reviews, a sharper entry price attracts initial buyers faster. As your badge tier climbs, you can confidently price at full market rate. You have complete control over your own pricing at all times.

Set Stock / Quantity Accurately

Enter your realistic available quantity. For gold: current available GP. For services: how many open slots you have this week. Accurate stock prevents overselling, builds credibility, and sets buyer expectations correctly. Update regularly as availability changes.

Select All Accepted Payment Methods

Choose every payment method you can reliably handle. Offering more options — PayPal, card, bank transfer, cryptocurrency — maximises your potential buyer pool across different regions and preferences. More payment options = more conversion opportunities.

Publish & Respond Actively

Hit Publish. Your listing is live immediately. Monitor your RuneHeaven chat notifications actively — fast response times are the single biggest driver of conversion for new sellers. Buyers who message multiple sellers choose whoever responds first with clear, confident answers.

Deliver, Request Reviews, Build Reputation

Complete every service exactly as agreed. After delivery, ask satisfied buyers to leave a verified review. Each review moves you toward the next badge tier. Bronze (1) → Silver (15) → Gold (50) → Dragon (100) → Rune (200). Each tier dramatically increases buyer trust and listing visibility.

ℹ️
Seller strategy: The most impactful early goal is reaching Silver (15 reviews) as fast as possible. Silver badge sellers see measurably higher click-through and contact rates from buyers who filter by reputation. Reaching Gold (50) unlocks full market-rate pricing confidence.

Section 09 — Safety Checklists

Complete Safety Checklists — Buyers & Sellers

🛡️ Buyer Safety Checklist

Verify the seller's reputation badge before messaging

For orders over $20, prioritise Gold (50+), Dragon (100+), or Rune (200+) tier sellers. Higher badges mean more verified completed transactions and stronger delivery reliability.

Read the full listing and recent buyer reviews

Reviews are written by verified buyers and cannot be edited by sellers. Recent reviews reveal current delivery speed, communication quality, and service accuracy.

Confirm all deal terms in RuneHeaven's private chat before paying

Amount, price, payment method, delivery method, timeline, and all other specifics confirmed in writing within the platform chat — this is your documented agreement.

Only use payment methods listed in the original listing

Never agree to alternative payment methods suggested mid-conversation. Stick to the options published in the seller's listing to maintain payment process integrity.

Verify your purchase before confirming delivery

For gold: check trade window quantity before accepting. For accounts: verify all stats and quest log before confirming. For services: check completion against agreed scope.

Screenshot or document proof of completed transactions

Take screenshots of completed gold trades, received account credentials, or service completion confirmation. Proof of delivery is your protection if any post-transaction issue arises.

Escalate to staff mediation if anything goes wrong

Do not go off-platform for dispute resolution. Request RuneHeaven staff mediation — the moderation team reviews your chat history and works toward a fair resolution.

Leave an honest verified review after every transaction

Your review permanently helps future buyers make informed decisions and builds the seller's badge tier if deserved. It is the single most important post-purchase action you can take.

📋 Seller Safety Checklist

Confirm payment before delivering any service or item

Never deliver gold, services, or account credentials before payment is confirmed and received. Written confirmation of payment in the RuneHeaven chat is your first line of protection.

Confirm all service details in writing within the platform chat

Service scope, price, payment method, timeline, and any requirements all confirmed in the RuneHeaven chat before beginning. This creates a binding, documented agreement.

Keep listings accurate and stock updated

Accurate listings build credibility and prevent overselling disputes. Update stock levels and availability regularly. An active, well-maintained listing signals reliability to buyers.

Deliver exactly what was described and agreed

Deliver on every promised detail. Under-delivery on any aspect of a service is the fastest way to receive a negative review that permanently impacts your badge tier and future sales.

Respond to buyer messages promptly

Fast response times are the single biggest driver of conversion. Buyers who get quick, confident answers choose you over competitors who take hours to reply.

Request a verified review after every successful delivery

Each review moves you toward the next badge tier. Proactively asking satisfied buyers to leave a review — especially early in your seller career — accelerates badge progression dramatically.

⚠️
Universal red flags — buyer and seller: Any request to move communication off RuneHeaven before a deal is agreed; payment methods not listed in the original listing; pressure to complete a transaction quickly without confirming all details; inability to provide verification screenshots on request; prices dramatically out of range with comparable listings (potential scam). If any of these appear, report the user and request staff review immediately.
Section 10 — Pro Tips

Advanced Pro Tips — Buyers & Sellers

For Buyers

Buyer Tip 01
Use "Top-Rated Seller" as Your Default Sort

Unless you're actively seeking the absolute lowest price, always default to Top-Rated Seller sort. The small price premium from high-badge sellers is almost always worth the significantly reduced risk and faster delivery.

Buyer Tip 02
Start Small to Test New Sellers

For sellers with lower badge tiers (Bronze/Silver) offering attractive prices, test with a small order first. A successful small transaction builds confidence for larger future orders with the same provider.

Buyer Tip 03
Ask for Progress Updates on Long Services

For power leveling, quest cape services, or other multi-session engagements, don't hesitate to ask for regular progress updates through the RuneHeaven chat. Reputable providers will give these readily.

Buyer Tip 04
Offer Multiple Payment Options When Possible

When contacting sellers, mentioning flexibility in payment method (if you genuinely have it) can sometimes open negotiation opportunities — especially with sellers who have limited payment options listed.

Buyer Tip 05
Check Multiple Listings Before Committing

The marketplace's filtering and sorting tools make it fast to compare 5–6 listings before choosing. The few extra minutes of comparison often reveal meaningfully better price-to-reputation combinations.

Buyer Tip 06
Secure Your Account Immediately After Purchase

For accounts and any service requiring login access: change email, change password, enable authenticator, and clear recovery details the moment the service is complete. These four steps protect your investment unconditionally.

For Sellers

Seller Tip 01
Your First 15 Reviews Are the Most Important

Getting to Silver (15 reviews) should be every new seller's first milestone. Even at a slightly sharper price to attract early buyers, the badge jump from unranked to Silver produces a disproportionate lift in buyer confidence and click-through rates.

Seller Tip 02
List Multiple Services Simultaneously

There's no limit on active listings. If you can offer gold, questing, and power leveling, list all three separately. More listings mean more surface area for buyers to discover you across different category filters.

Seller Tip 03
Update Listings Regularly to Stay Fresh

Recently-updated listings tend to perform better in marketplace browsing. If nothing has changed, make minor description refinements to refresh the listing's activity timestamp and keep it visible.

Seller Tip 04
Respond Within Minutes, Not Hours

The OSRS community expects fast responses. Enable notifications for RuneHeaven chat messages and aim to reply within 5–15 minutes during active hours. Response speed is often the deciding factor between you and a competitor.

Seller Tip 05
Offer More Payment Methods Than Competitors

Every additional payment method you accept opens your listing to a new segment of buyers. PayPal, card, bank transfer, and crypto together cover virtually every OSRS player globally. More options = more sales.

Seller Tip 06
Use Your Description to Pre-Answer Questions

Every question a buyer has to ask before messaging is a potential drop-off. A comprehensive description that answers the top five likely questions (requirements, delivery time, method, refund policy, availability) converts browsers to buyers more efficiently.

Section 11 — Community

RuneHeaven as a Community Platform

RuneHeaven is more than a transactional marketplace — it is a community infrastructure designed to serve the OSRS ecosystem long-term. Here is how the platform actively builds and serves the community:

🌐
OSRS-Exclusive Focus

Unlike multi-game marketplaces diluted across hundreds of titles, RuneHeaven exists solely for Old School RuneScape. Every feature, every moderation decision, and every community consideration is made with the OSRS player in mind.

📈
Merit-Based Reputation

The badge system rewards genuine quality and consistency. The best service providers rise to the top based on their actual delivery record — not advertising budget or platform favoritism. Real skill gets recognised and rewarded.

🔄
Two-Sided Value

RuneHeaven creates value for both sides simultaneously. Buyers get transparent access to competitive services. Sellers get a free, structured platform to monetise their OSRS skills. Neither side is disadvantaged to benefit the other.

🛡️
Community-Enforced Standards

The combination of verified identity, public reputation, instant reporting, and 24/7 moderation creates a self-reinforcing standard of conduct. The community's standards are maintained by the community's behaviour — and enforced by staff when needed.

💡
Accessible to All Players

Free registration, free listing, free browsing — RuneHeaven removes every financial barrier to participation. Whether you're a veteran gold farmer or a casual player selling a single account, the platform serves you equally.

🤝
Real Player Connections

Every transaction connects two real, verified OSRS players directly. This authenticity — community members serving community members — is the foundation of RuneHeaven's identity and the reason it consistently earns player trust.

Section 12 — Why RuneHeaven

Why RuneHeaven Is the Right Choice

Thousands of OSRS players choose RuneHeaven as their marketplace of record. Here are the reasons — structural, practical, and community-based — that make RuneHeaven the definitive choice:

🏅
Reputation You Can Actually Verify

Every badge is earned through real verified reviews. A Rune-badged seller has 200+ confirmed completed transactions. That's not a claim — it's a record. And it's available for anyone to inspect before a single message is sent.

💰
Genuinely Competitive Pricing

Community sellers compete openly on price. Sort by Price: Low to High and you see the actual market rate set by real players — not a fixed corporate markup. Buyers consistently find better rates than on direct-seller alternatives.

🎯
Built Exclusively for OSRS

Every feature, every listing, every community member is here for OSRS specifically. Providers know the game deeply. The platform's design reflects the OSRS community's real needs. This focus produces better outcomes than generic multi-game marketplaces.

🔒
Structural Protection on Every Trade

Verified identity, private logged chat, staff mediation, 24/7 moderation, instant reporting — these aren't features listed on a marketing page. They're the platform's operational architecture, active on every transaction regardless of size.

🆓
Free for Buyers & Sellers

No subscription, no buyer commission, no listing fee. The only cost involved in any transaction is the price a buyer pays a seller for their service. The platform takes nothing from either party — a genuinely community-first model.

🌐
The Broadest OSRS Service Coverage

Gold, accounts, 23 skills, 200+ quests, 30+ bosses, all diaries, capes, minigames, and custom services — RuneHeaven is the only single platform that covers every major OSRS service category with verified community providers.

📊
Transparent Listings, No Surprises

Price, stock, payment methods, seller badge, and full review history visible before you message. No bait-and-switch, no hidden fees discovered at checkout, no information withheld behind walls. Complete transparency as a default.

⚖️
Real Dispute Resolution

Staff mediation is available on request for any transaction. The moderation team reviews your documented chat history and works toward a resolution. This is what separates RuneHeaven from Discord servers and forums where disputes simply vanish.

Section 13 — FAQ

Complete FAQ — Every Question Answered

What exactly is RuneHeaven and how does it work?

RuneHeaven is a free, verified, community-powered peer-to-peer marketplace built exclusively for Old School RuneScape. Real players list their own services (gold, accounts, skill training, questing, bossing, etc.) at their own prices. Buyers browse listings, contact sellers via private in-platform chat, agree on terms, complete the transaction, and leave verified reviews. The platform provides the trust infrastructure — identity verification, reputation badges, moderation, and dispute mediation — while the community provides the services.

Is RuneHeaven free to use?

Yes, completely. Creating an account, browsing all marketplace listings, contacting sellers via private chat, leaving reviews, and publishing listings are all 100% free. There are no subscription tiers, no buyer commissions, and no listing fees at any stage. The only money that changes hands in any transaction goes directly between buyer and seller.

How does the reputation badge system work?

Sellers earn reputation points through verified buyer reviews. Every review left by a confirmed registered buyer contributes to the seller's total reputation count. Badge tiers are: Bronze (1+ reviews), Silver (15+), Gold (50+), Dragon (100+), and Rune (200+). Badges cannot be purchased, transferred, or artificially inflated — they are earned exclusively through real completed transactions with real buyers.

What services can I find on RuneHeaven?

RuneHeaven hosts listings across eight major categories: OSRS gold trading, account sales (all types), power leveling (all 23 skills), quest completion (novice to grandmaster), bossing and PvM carries (all major bosses and raids), Achievement Diary completions (all regions, all tiers), cape services (Fire Cape, Infernal, Quiver), and custom/specialist services (CG carries, PKing coaching, GIM boosting, collection log hunting, and anything else). If it can be done in OSRS, it can be listed on RuneHeaven.

How do I know a seller is actually trustworthy?

Sellers' trustworthiness is visible through: their badge tier (earned through verified completed transactions — impossible to fake), their verified review history (written by confirmed registered buyers), the completeness and accuracy of their listing description, and their response speed when you message them. For higher-value transactions, prioritise Gold (50+), Dragon (100+), or Rune (200+) badge sellers who have the deepest proven track records on the platform.

What happens if something goes wrong with a transaction?

If a seller fails to deliver, delivers incorrectly, or any dispute arises, request staff mediation through RuneHeaven immediately. The moderation team reviews your complete in-platform chat history — which documents your written agreement — and works toward a fair resolution. This is precisely why all deal details should be confirmed in RuneHeaven's private chat before any payment is made, and why all negotiations should stay on-platform throughout.

Can I sell services on RuneHeaven if I'm a new player?

Yes. Any verified RuneHeaven account can create and publish listings immediately. As a new seller with no badge tier yet, the key is: a competitive entry price to attract first buyers, a thorough and professional listing description, fast and responsive communication, and excellent service delivery. Reaching Bronze (1 review) and Silver (15 reviews) quickly is the highest-impact early goal for building a sustainable seller presence on the platform.

What payment methods are supported on RuneHeaven?

Each seller independently selects and manages their own accepted payment methods, which are displayed on every listing before any contact is made. Common options include PayPal, card payments, bank transfers, and cryptocurrency. Buyers can filter marketplace listings by accepted payment method to find compatible sellers, or ask via chat before committing to a transaction. Offering multiple payment options as a seller significantly broadens buyer accessibility.

Is RuneHeaven only for buying, or can I also sell?

Both. The same free account is used for browsing and buying services, publishing your own listings and selling, leaving buyer reviews, and managing all in-platform communications. RuneHeaven is a fully two-sided marketplace designed to serve buyers and sellers equally — neither side is secondary or underserved on the platform.

How does RuneHeaven compare to other OSRS marketplaces?

RuneHeaven is the only platform that combines all of the following simultaneously: OSRS-exclusive community focus, mandatory verified identity for all users, a five-tier earned public reputation badge system, private in-platform logged chat, staff dispute mediation on request, 24/7 active human moderation, verified-only buyer reviews, free listing and browsing for all users, and full coverage of every major OSRS service category. No other platform combines all of these features.

Can I buy and sell OSRS accounts on RuneHeaven?

Yes. RuneHeaven's account marketplace hosts listings for all OSRS account types — maxed mains, combat pures (zerkers, void rangers, etc.), ironmen (standard, hardcore, ultimate), level 3 skillers, mid-game starters, and group ironman builds. Sellers provide full stat disclosures, quest completion details, bank value estimates, and notable unlocks. Buyers should always confirm full email transfer capability and immediately secure the account upon receipt.
