How selling works

The same steps apply on every marketplace. The details differ, so read the marketplace's own page before you send a skin.

1. Choose instant cash or a listing

Instant cash pays a known price today. A listing waits for a buyer, so it can pay more but takes longer. Compare what you would receive after fees, not the headline price.

2. Send the skin through a Steam trade offer

The marketplace sends you a trade offer. Check the exact item, wear and any stickers in the offer, then confirm it in the Steam mobile app. Never share your Steam Guard code, API key or trade link with anyone who contacts you first.

3. Steam's 7-day trade protection

On many marketplaces the money arrives only after the lock ends, so compare the “When the money arrives” column under Fees and payout routes before you pick one.

4. Identity checks

Have your ID and payment details ready before you sell, so the first payout is not delayed.

5. Fees

Some marketplaces build their fee into an instant cash price, others show it as a separate percentage, and payment providers can add their own charge.

Selling CS2 skins: questions

How do I sell CS2 skins for cash?

To sell CS2 skins for cash, pick a marketplace and choose between two routes. An instant cash offer pays a fixed price today. A listing sells only when a buyer takes it at your price, so the cash arrives later but is often higher. Steam Community Market sales pay Steam wallet funds, which cannot be withdrawn as cash.

What is the difference between instant cash and a listing price?

Instant cash is the highest buy order a market posts: you sell now and the price is known. A listing price is what you ask. It competes with the other listings for the same skin, so the lowest current listing shows what you are up against, and your skin sells only when a buyer accepts it.

Why can I not cash out straight away?

Every CS2 item received in a trade is trade protected for 7 days, and the trade can be reversed during that time. Many marketplaces wait out that period before they release the proceeds of a sale. Items bought on the Steam Community Market carry the same 7-day lock.

Do I need to verify my identity to get paid?

Often yes. Several marketplaces ask for identity verification before the first cash-out, and the payment details usually have to match the verified name. The Fees and payout routes section, higher up this page, lists what each marketplace states on its own pages. Check the marketplace before you send a skin.

How much does Steam keep if I sell on the Community Market?

Steam adds a 5% Steam fee and a 10% game fee for CS2 on top of the seller price, so the buyer pays about 15% more and the seller keeps roughly 87% of what the buyer pays. The proceeds are Steam wallet funds, which cannot be withdrawn as cash.
