Fortnite 
Since the release of Fortnite, that was in 2017, a lot of cosmetics have been released into the game. Character skins, pickaxes, gliders, emotes, backpacks… Loads of categories and even more skins for each of it. Surprisingly (or not), nobody has all of the skins released on Fortnite, BUT there are a good bunch of players that got the rarest skins in the game, those could include the legendary Renegade Raider, Black Knight, IKONIK and plenty more… Basically the OG skins, if you were playing the game in the early days, you could have cashed out with these antiques. But wait, we live in modern times, now there are possibilities to buy Fortnite accounts with such skins, the rarer the skins in the account, the more it costs (some accounts can reach up to $10,000 in value). The big question is, where can you buy it? Here are the main places that players go to for Fortnite accounts.
Eldorado.gg
One of the leading marketplaces for Fortnite accounts where you can both sell and buy them. Eldorado supports plenty of games but Fortnite accounts takes the cake in terms of popularity with the category generating thousands of monthly orders and tens of thousands monthly visitors.

Forums / Communities
Now the wild west of Fortnite accounts trading. There are places such as Facebook groups, Discord servers, subreddits, forums where players can post their accounts and sell them. Sounds great! But is it really? It depends how lucky you are, either you can actually receive the account and everything is perfect, or you can send over the money and the seller ghosts you, there are no guard rails for the buyers with the chance of getting scammed being very high. If you decide to still proceed with this method, ensure that you are purchasing from a legit person – do a background check, ask the community about the person and overall ensure that the seller got a good reputation.
About Forums & Communities:
- No support system
- No fees
- Unknown user profiles
- High risk of getting scammed
- Hard user flow (finding stock, contacting each seller)
- Account recovery risk
eBay
eBay for accounts selling is basically Facebook Groups but on steroids – you can find clearer listings, descriptions, seller profiles and overall everything is more neat and organized. But it is still eBay, the platform is meant to be for physical products and using it generally for everything is a bad practice, this is where eBay slips up by being a Jack of all trades. The support system on eBay can still be flawed, sellers can easily manipulate it into saying that the account was fully transferred when in reality it wasn’t, eBay doesn’t vet any sellers, there is no clear verification process for the sellers. In the times where there are dedicated marketplaces for game accounts, eBay simply falls short in delivering the expectations for the sellers.
About eBay:
- Uncomfortable offer browsing experience
- Vague support
- Unverified sellers
- Competitive prices
- Globally established platform
G2G
G2G is up there with the most popular in-game trading marketplaces, they support basically everything that is digital goods, from Tinder Gold accounts to Windows activation keys. Fortnite accounts is also an area that they got covered, with around 32,000 offers listed the marketplace is a firm option, but is it a good one? It is for you to decide. With a quick Google search, there are complaints that buyers got their accounts banned or recovered by original owners, there seems to be bias towards the sellers where their support side with the sellers even though the decision should be polar opposite. It seems that for every good review about G2G, there are two bad ones next to it. G2G currently holds just over 49,000 reviews on TrustPilot with 4.2 rating, their support seems to be responding to some of the reviews as well, but not all, leaving a good chunk of 1 star reviews unanswered.
About G2G:
- No 24/7 support
- Seller & Buyer Levels / Membership Tiers
- More payment methods
- Loyalty points
- Bias towards sellers
- 32,000 Offers
PlayerAuctions
The oldest real money trading marketplace, the pioneer that started it all, launching late 1999 and still kicking it up to this day, a marketplace for currency, accounts, items, boosting for majority of the games, including Fortnite accounts. PlayerAuctions is a solid choice, generally you should receive what you order… generally. By looking at the main pain points that users raise from the reviews, from total of over 15,000 reviews and 4.2 rating, it seems that PlayerAuctions support system seems slow and outdated, verification process is complex and mandatory, even for purchases as low as 5$ and the overall site design, especially product listings, seem to be overstuffed. On the other hand, PlayerAuctions is the oldest marketplace out there, so they must be doing something right.
About PlayerAuctions:
- Slower and unclear verification
- Older UI and navigation, more cluttered
- Higher prices
- Slow customer service
- Unclear source of the accounts
- 10,000 Offers
What to choose?
The amount of choices are all time high. With all of the available dedicated marketplaces, social media, forums and other public spaces, you can basically find a Fortnite account at any corner, but actually receiving it and playing on it for as long as you want is a different challenge. Forums and community spaces are too risky where you have no protection as a buyer, marketplaces are all different with pros and cons, ultimately, Eldorado is a place to go for Fortnite accounts, the platform launched in 2018, right before Fortnite launched and we managed to grow together, making Fortnite accounts the driving force of our website, which we are forever thankful for and with that, constantly thrive to make the smoothest experience possible for all of our sellers and buyers.
