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%.

CS.Deals publishes a price for almost every CS2 skin, but most of those are estimates rather than something you can buy: a Steam-derived market price, a suggested listing price, and — only where somebody is actually selling — the cheapest live listing. Only the live listing is a price someone is actually offering the item at. Few CS2 skins have one, and those listings run high: a median 2.6 times the Skinport price, with the odd item at ten times. Check that an item is actually listed, and compare its price, before buying.

Before you use CS.Deals, know how money gets out. Deposit and payout methods, minimums and fees are only shown once you have signed in with Steam, so the publicly documented ones are crypto withdrawals in BTC, ETH, LTC, SOL and USDC, and a bank route its limits page refers to without naming. Withdrawal caps are set per account by tier, and instant sell works on the website only. On the plus side, CS.Deals publishes its bot list, a vulnerability disclosure policy, and a public API carrying each listing's float and a sales history of 3.4 million trades.

What are CS.Deals's fees?

Its instant-sell desk and its trading section both list 0%, and instant sell carries no withdraw fee. Crypto withdrawals take a platform fee off the top and pay the network fee from the converted amount, with a per-currency minimum. All of it is marked "subject to change at a moment's notice" on their fees page.

Why do so few CS2 skins on CS.Deals have a live listing?

CS.Deals shows a price for almost every CS2 skin, but only a small share have someone actually selling. For the rest, the figures are a Steam-derived estimate and a suggested listing price that nobody is offering the item at. Check that a live listing exists before relying on a CS.Deals price.

Crypto withdrawals are available in BTC, ETH, LTC, SOL or USDC, with the platform fee taken first and the network fee paid from the converted amount, and its limits page says bank withdrawals share the same daily cap — the full list of methods, minimums and fees is shown at the time of withdrawal, after login. Items themselves withdraw to Steam as a trade offer from a CS.Deals bot.

What is the difference between listing and instant sell?

Listing puts your item on the market at your price and costs 2% when it sells. Instant sell is the site buying it from you at its own quote for 0% — faster and certain, but the quote is below market. Instant sell is only on the website.
