Is CS.MONEY legit?
Yes. CS.MONEY has run since 2015 and is based in Limassol, Cyprus. Its Trustpilot score is 4.7 from about 9,200 reviews.
Accounts support two-factor authentication, and cash-out needs identity verification. The complaints you will see most are slow withdrawals at busy times and fees sellers did not expect, so read the fee line before you confirm.
What CS.MONEY is and who it suits
CS.MONEY is a CS2-only marketplace with a large inventory, a skin wiki and 2D and 3D item inspection. You log in with Steam.
It suits traders who want to swap skins for skins, and sellers who want cash on a Visa card and are fine with verifying their identity. Cash-out options depend on your country, so check yours before you plan around PayPal.
How trading works on CS.MONEY
CS.MONEY combines two methods. In peer-to-peer trades the seller approves each trade by hand. In bot trades, CS.MONEY's bots send a trade offer once you confirm, which keeps the exchange quick and automated. The site's own pricing system sets item prices from several factors.
Both buying and selling are available.
Trade mode and Market mode
CS.MONEY keeps two balances that do not transfer into each other. Trade mode swaps skins for skins and costs 7%. Market mode sells to other users and costs 5%. Items from $1,000 cost 3%. Buying has no fee.
Only money earned in Market mode can be cashed out. Trade-mode balance can only buy skins.
CS.MONEY fees
CS.MONEY charges no withdrawal fee, although the payment system you cash out through may. Some payment methods add their own commission, shown before you confirm.
How to cash out from CS.MONEY
Sell in Market mode, then withdraw to a Visa card, or to PayPal in some countries. The minimum is $10 for cards. Cash-out needs identity verification first, and the card details must match the verified identity.
How long do CS.MONEY withdrawals take?
Market sale proceeds become available after Steam's 7-day trade protection ends. Then CS.MONEY processes the withdrawal. The stated time is up to 5 days, although some pages say minutes to 2 days. Count on the 7-day wait plus processing, not on same-day cash.
Checklist before you sell
- Sell in Market mode, because Trade-mode balance cannot be cashed out.
- Complete identity verification, and use a card in your own name.
- Allow the 7-day hold plus processing time.
