About CS.Deals
CS.Deals is one of the older third-party skin markets — its homepage says trading since 2016, and the Wayback Machine has it from June 2017 — run by CS DEALS LTD out of Limassol, Cyprus. It is peer-to-peer with bot custody: sellers deposit items to CS.Deals bots and list at their own price, buyers pay that price into an on-site backpack and withdraw to Steam as a trade offer from the same bots. The marketplace charges the seller 2% and the buyer nothing; the website's instant-sell desk charges 0%, and its Trading section 0%.
What we read from it is the price table: one call, every name they have ever priced, with their Steam-derived market price, a recommended listing price, and the cheapest live listing where one exists. Only that last number is an ask, so it is the only one we publish — the other two are estimates nobody is selling at. On 9 September 2026 that meant 2,912 CS2 names with a live listing out of 46,797 priced, and the live asks ran high (median 2.6x Skinport, the odd item at 10x), so the row on our skin pages is gated against the Steam average and appears only where the listing is real and plausible.
The parts worth knowing before you use it: deposit and payout methods, minimums and fees are shown only after Steam login, so we can vouch for crypto withdrawals in BTC, ETH, LTC, SOL and USDC from the API docs and an unnamed bank route from the limits page, and nothing else. Withdrawal caps are set per account by tier. Instant sell is website-only. On the plus side it publishes its bot list, a vulnerability disclosure policy, and a public API with per-listing floats and a 3.4-million-row sales history.
