Buying Runescape Gold - Is It Safe?

Many players in Runescape choose to buy RS3 and RS2007 gold everyday.  On our website, we process up to 100-200 orders per day.  With all these people buying GP, it begs the question, is the process safe?

What I have found is that it begins with the company selling GP to keep the customer safe.  Many RS Gold shops simply do not take safety into consideration.  They sit in the Grand Exchange and trade literally thousands of times on the same account without moving location.  They use Chinese IP addresses and take no extra precautions to ensure customers will be safe following a trade.

You want to avoid these sites.  Chinese sites are notorious for being unsafe, and with good reason.  Jagex's system specifically targets Chinese IP addresses and computers.  Our company is not based in China, and we use a central PC in North America to conduct trades.  We change characters / IP address very often, so it becomes nearly impossible to pinpoint our characters.  This has resulted in very safe transactions for our customers; most of them have been using the same character to buy RS Gold for years.

However, the company selling GP can only do so much.  The customer must also take precautions after a trade to ensure their own safety.  Firstly, if you are buying gold, don't tell anybody in-game.  Seems obvious, but some people still make the mistake of telling others through Runescape that they have bought or sold gold.  Keep it to yourself!  Many people will get jealous and report you through the RS system.

Secondly, you go from ~0% risk when buying gold to much higher risk once you start selling gold.  If you are looking to sell your gold back to a shop, then just understand you are now taking a real risk with your account.  Jagex can and will ban people selling RS Gold.  If you are serious about keeping your character unbanned, resist the temptation to resell gold.  It's not worth the risk if you have spent years perfecting your character.

Finally, avoid using third party programs which you do not trust.  The use of macros / bots carries a real risk of ban, and can have your account flagged.  I'm not going to tell you what to do, but just understand that these programs increase the risk that your character will be temporarily banned from Runescape!
