FAQ
- What's the safest way to sell CS2 skins?
- Use an established marketplace with escrow and a public track record. Skinport, CSFloat and the Steam Community Market are the safest choices for new sellers.
- How long does it take to receive the money?
- Instant-sell sites (SkinCashier, Tradeit.gg) pay in 5–30 minutes. P2P marketplaces (Skinport, CSFloat) usually need 1–3 business days because Steam enforces a 7-day trade hold on unprotected accounts.
- Do I pay any fees as a seller?
- Yes. Seller fees range from 2% (CSFloat) up to 15% (Steam, SkinBaron). Instant-sell bots take 10–15% as a spread but pay you immediately.
