How to Sell CS2 Skins for Real Money

Don't sell on the Steam Market if you want real money: Steam keeps about 13% of the buyer's price and the money can't leave Steam. Sell on a third-party marketplace instead, where fees are usually 2–6% and you can cash out to PayPal, bank or crypto.

Step 1: check what your skins are worth

Paste your Steam profile into our inventory value calculator to see every item's current market price. Then use the Steam fee calculator to see how much less you'd get on Steam.

Step 2: pick how you want to sell

P2P marketplaces like Waxpeer, DMarket and CSBoard give the best price, but you wait for a buyer.

Instant-sell sites like Skinflow and SellYourSkins buy straight away from a bot, for a bit less.

Step 3: choose your payout

PayPal: Waxpeer, DMarket, Avan Market, Skinflow. Crypto: LIS-SKINS, White Market, CSBoard, Waxpeer. Bank: SellYourSkins, Swap.gg. Details in cash out to PayPal and sell for crypto.

Stay safe

Only accept trade offers you started yourself on the marketplace's own page, check the bot's Steam level and join date, and remember that since July 2025 trades can be reversed for 7 days (Trade Protection explained).
