I have just auctioned a Fortnite account on EBay. The strange thing is that during the action only 2,000 euro was offered and then one increased to 2010 euro. However, this buyer has given a wrong name and the address of a university, he does not report either. I wanted to ask what I can do now to get the money because 2,000 euro is a large sum and how are my legal opportunities and what are my legal options.
As the fundamental legal situation in such situations, I do not know. However, I would not advise you in this particular case to take legal action. Due to the Terms of Use, auctioning accounts in most online games is illegal.
I do not know if Fortnite is an exception here, but that would be very unlikely.
Legally, you have no claim to it. The Fornite account is 100% owned by the operator and also all characters and items that you have earned with it. If someone notifies you at the operator your account will be blocked and then it will be useless for you. In the worst case, the operator will rush you some RA on the neck as you have violated the licensing of the game. The license provision is that weird part of what you always click away so fast when you install it. And it can also happen that your account is deleted.
A single message to Epic Games and your account is gone!

It is your own fault if you post so negligently here!
Can you even name the article number, in order to be able to look at the auction history first?
With the collecting of funds, although one possesses the commodity still is always such a thing.
You can claim at most in the form of damages. Maybe a lost profit.
First, but come up with a good 200, - EUR eBay fees on you.

How do you know that the name is wrong?

The answer is simple - wait!
In any case, the buyer is in no way obliged to jump if you whistle minutes after an auction.
