Is SkinSwap legit?
SkinSwap is operated by DES Labs, LLC in Glen Allen, United States, and launched in 2021 from the team behind RustySell. Its Trustpilot score is 4.3 from about 2,300 reviews.
The one thing to check before you sell is the fee, because it depends on the payout route you pick.
What SkinSwap is and who it suits
SkinSwap is a bot-run trading site for CS2 and Rust skins. It suits sellers who want a choice of payout routes, since it pays by crypto, PayPal, Venmo and bank transfer. It is less useful if you play other games, because only two are covered.
How to use SkinSwap
- Create an account.
- Deposit your skins into a bot's Steam inventory. There is no peer-to-peer step.
- Buy, sell or trade, and pick a payout route if you are selling.
There is no built-in screenshot tool.
SkinSwap fees
SkinSwap says it charges a service fee on deposits and payouts, lower for crypto than for PayPal or Venmo. It does not publish a single number.
Check the payout screen for each route before you sell: it shows the amount you receive.
How do SkinSwap payouts work?
You can be paid in Bitcoin, Tether, USD Coin, Litecoin, Ethereum, PayPal, Venmo or by bank transfer through Stripe. SkinSwap describes trade execution in seconds, crypto payouts in minutes and PayPal or Venmo payouts in hours.
Checklist before you sell
- Compare the payout screen for each route, because fees differ.
- Expect crypto to cost less than PayPal or Venmo.
