About CS.Money
CS.MONEY pioneered the bot trading model for CS2 skins, allowing instant trades without waiting for human buyers or sellers. Founded in 2016 and operated by CS VIRTUAL TRADE LTD out of Limassol, Cyprus, it is no longer a trading site alone: today the platform combines skin-to-skin bot trading, a P2P marketplace, and an Instant Sell option, so there are several ways to trade, buy, and sell.
Each mode prices differently. Market listings work like any P2P marketplace — you set the price, buyers pay it, and the platform takes a 5% commission (3% on items above $1,000). Bot trades carry a commission of roughly 7% built into the exchange, and Instant Sell trades the best price for an immediate sale to the platform's bots. Proceeds from market and instant sales can be withdrawn to a Visa card or PayPal once your account is verified.
CS.MONEY is ideal for traders who want to quickly convert one skin to another or need instant liquidity, while the marketplace side now also serves sellers who want real-money cashout. The trade-up and swap features, together with float, pattern and 3D inspection tools, make it easy to upgrade or change your loadout.

Who picks CS.Money
Countries over-represented among SteamAnalyst readers who chose CS.Money over the last 90 days, measured against our own traffic mix — Cyprus at 15.2× means 15.2 times its share of the site overall. This is where our readers were, not where CS.Money'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.
