Features
Bot marketplace
In a bot marketplace the seller first deposits the skin into the site’s bot account. Because the bot already holds the skin, the buyer receives it instantly and doesn’t have to wait for the seller to come online and approve the trade. This method is ideal for sellers who can not constantly monitor sale notifications; it also avoids any penalties a site might charge if a seller misses an acceptance deadline. By handing the skin to the bot up front, the whole selling process becomes simpler and much less stressful.
Marketplace fee
New sellers pay 10% sale fee on publicly listed skins and 5% sale fee on privately listed skins. However this fee can be drastically lowered from 10% to 5% (5% to 2.5% on private listing) by sellong more and more expensive skins. You can lower these numbers even further by the total sales completed on the site: sell $2,500, $10,000, $50,000, and $100,000 to unlock Levels 2‑5, each shaving another 0.05% off every future sale. Move $20,000+ per month and BitSkins negotiates an individual sales fee, an even lower rate.
Buy‑order
BitSkins lets you post buy‑orders at whatever price you consider fair. The website continuously matches new listings against buy-orders; when a seller’s price equals your bid, the trade completes automatically and the item appears in your inventory seconds later.
Marketplace fee
Bitskins
A cut that is taken by the platform after a skin is sold. On all listed websites the fee is paid by the seller.
Trading fee
The difference between the user’s skin value and the site’s skin value. For example, if the user’s skin is worth $100, the same skin in the site’s inventory is priced at $110—a 10 % difference. That $10 gap represents the site fee.
