Why sellers look for a Skinport alternative

Skinport gets you close to the market price, as long as you're happy to wait and use a bank account.

  • You wait for a buyer

    Skinport says it doesn't offer selling directly to Skinport. Your item sells only when another user buys it, and trade-protected CS2 items stay hidden for 7 days first.

  • Bank transfer only

    Payouts go to a bank account. There's no PayPal or crypto option, and you can't spend the money on Skinport either.

  • 8% of every sale

    The standard seller fee is 8%, or 6% on high-value items.

  • ID checks with payout limits

    Verification is tiered, and payouts pause when you reach the limit of your tier.

How fast you get paid

  1. Sign in with Steam

    Through Steam's own login page. Add your trade URL once and you're set.

  2. See your price

    Every item gets an offer straight away. No listing, no waiting for a buyer.

  3. Accept the trade

    Our bot sends the trade offer. You confirm it in the Steam app.

  4. Withdraw

    Pick PayPal or crypto. Payouts are sent automatically, not from a manual queue.

CS2 items: Steam lets the sender reverse a CS2 trade for 7 days (trade protection), on every site. We release the money as soon as that period ends. Rust, Dota 2 and TF2 items are paid right after the trade.
