About CSFloat

CSFloat has built its reputation on providing the most detailed float value and pattern information for CS2 items. Founded in 2020, the platform was originally a float checker tool before expanding into a full marketplace.

CSFloat charges a 2% seller fee — among the lowest of the major Western marketplaces — and no buyer fee, so buyers pay the listed price. The gap matters most to anyone selling regularly: every sale keeps more of its value than on a marketplace charging 5% or more.

CSFloat is particularly popular among collectors seeking specific float values or pattern indexes, thanks to its advanced search and filtering capabilities. The built-in 3D item viewer also makes inspection easy without needing external tools.

Pros

  • ✓Low 2% seller fee, one of the lowest among Western marketplaces
  • ✓Advanced float value and pattern search filters
  • ✓Detailed item inspection with 3D viewer
  • ✓Zero buyer fees
  • ✓Strong community reputation among collectors

Cons

  • ✗Smaller inventory compared to BUFF163 or CS.MONEY
  • ✗Limited payment options vs Skinport
  • ✗CS2-only (no multi-game support)

Countries over-represented among SteamAnalyst readers who chose CSFloat over the last 90 days, measured against our own traffic mix — Austria at 20.8× means 20.8 times its share of the site overall. This is where our readers were, not where CSFloat's own visitors are.

VPN use is common in skin trading — reaching a market that blocks your region, or working around a payment restriction. A reader is counted where they browsed from, not where they live, so these figures may under-count exactly the countries they are most likely to be interesting for.

Official Channels

Where CSFloat announces changes and answers support questions. These are the accounts the market itself publishes — an account that is not on this list and claims to be CSFloat is not.

Apps & Extensions

Install only from the store listing linked here. A marketplace extension sees every trade you make, so a look-alike from anywhere else is the most dangerous thing on this page.
