Features
P2P and Bot marketplace
In a peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace the skin stays in the seller’s own Steam inventory until a buyer pays, so no bot is involved. Because the skin never leaves the seller’s account, the seven-day trade hold that would apply after sending it to a bot does not kick in.
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 setup is ideal for sellers who can’t constantly monitor sale notifications; it also avoids any penalties a site might charge if a seller misses an acceptance deadline. By handing the item to the bot up front, the whole selling process becomes simpler and much less stressful.
Marketplace fee
Sellers pay a flat 8% fee, for skin sales above €1,500 the fee drops to 3.5%.
Penalty/Fine
Missing the 24 hour deadline to send or accept the trade offer after a completed deal results in a suspension: the first two strikes each bring a one-week ban, the third strike a month. Any further flaking can earn a permanent ban. During suspension, the P2P and bot marketplaces are unavailable.
Auction
Auction feature lets you put one of your skins up for bidding instead of selling it outright. You simply select the item, set a starting price and duration, and wait while other users place bids. The highest bidder will receive the item.
Auction is a great option for users looking to sell rare skins, as this shows the real value of the item.

Marketplace & Auction fee
Skinbid
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.
