About Skin.Place

Skin.Place runs two businesses on one site. The marketplace is bot-based: sellers deposit items to Skin.Place's Steam bots and list at their own price, buyers pay that price and receive the item instantly, and neither side pays a percentage — 0% seller commission is the platform's headline and it holds on CS2. The instant-sell desk is the other half: pick items from your inventory, accept the site's quote, confirm the Steam trade, and the amount lands in your balance. From there it goes out to Visa or Mastercard, PayPal, SEPA, Pix, BLIK, Zen, a Kinguin wallet or crypto, with a $5 minimum and zero-commission USDT.

New accounts wait out an 8-day cancellation window first. Regular sellers do not: hit Steam level 5, $750 in total sales, a public profile and KYC, and you get an instant limit of up to $500 that refills every 8 days, resets each year and grows 5% with every sale until VIP status removes it.

The marketplace side is large, and each listing carries its float and an inspect link. The instant-sell side is narrower: its list recognises far more skins than it quotes a price for. Where there is no quote, Skin.Place is not buying that item at the moment.

Skin.Place is clearer than most about who runs it: Skinplace Limited in Hong Kong (reg. no. 3347367) and Tearcup LTD in Cyprus (HE472613) are both named in the footer with addresses, login is Steam-only, and the API is public and documented. The Trustpilot score sits at 4.2 from about 2,000 reviews, and the platform has run since August 2022. The things to know before selling are the 8-day hold before proceeds can leave, the 50% penalty on rollbacks or returned items, and the cancellation fees on the buy side — all published in their FAQ. Skin.Place's own figures are a 95% trade success rate and a no-rollback policy on its side; the penalty clause is for items a buyer or Steam pulls back.

Two newer pieces are worth knowing about. TradeManager is a Chrome extension from Skin.Place that sits on the Steam trade-offer page and checks the offer you are about to accept — that it comes from one of their bots and that the items match — which closes the classic fake-bot swap before you click. And their inventory page now values your whole inventory, lets you inspect each item, tracks price changes over time, and can pull up a Steam friend's inventory next to yours for comparison. Neither changes the fees; both are free.

Pros

  • ✓0% commission on CS2 sales and no buyer fee — the listed price is the price
  • ✓Two routes: sell instantly at their quote, or buy from a 434,000-listing bot-delivered market
  • ✓Pays out to card, PayPal, SEPA, Pix, BLIK, Zen or crypto rather than trapping you in a site balance
  • ✓The 8-day hold can be skipped: Steam level 5, $750 in sales, a public profile and KYC unlock an instant limit of up to $500 that refills every 8 days
  • ✓Registered companies in Hong Kong and Cyprus, 4.2/5 on Trustpilot from ~2,000 reviews

Cons

  • ✗Instant-sell quotes exist for about 9,000 of 41,000 names — the rest are not being bought
  • ✗Until your account qualifies for the instant limit, sale proceeds wait 8 days, and the minimum payout is $5
  • ✗Their terms put a 50% penalty on rollbacks and returned items, and buyer cancellations are charged — the site says it never initiates rollbacks itself

Countries over-represented among SteamAnalyst readers who chose Skin.Place over the last 90 days, measured against our own traffic mix — Chile at 47.6× means 47.6 times its share of the site overall. This is where our readers were, not where Skin.Place'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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Skin.Place safe and legit?

Skin.Place is operated by two named companies with published addresses — Skinplace Limited in Hong Kong (reg. no. 3347367) and Tearcup LTD in Cyprus (HE472613) — and holds a 4.2/5 Trustpilot rating from about 2,000 reviews, which it answers publicly. Login is through Steam only, and its API is public and documented. Their TradeManager Chrome extension checks a trade offer against their bot list before you accept it, and the site says it never rolls a completed trade back. As with any site that trades through bots, confirm the trade offer inside Steam before accepting.

What are Skin.Place's fees?

Skin.Place charges no percentage on either side of a CS2 marketplace sale: sellers keep the listed price and buyers pay it. The costs are elsewhere — a $5 minimum payout, an 8-day cancellation window before proceeds can be withdrawn (skipped up to $500 per 8 days once your account qualifies), and a 50% penalty on rollbacks or returned items. The instant-sell side has no fee line either; its margin is the spread between their quote and market.

What is the difference between selling on the marketplace and instant sell?

On the marketplace you set the price and wait for a buyer, and pay no commission when it sells. Instant sell is the site buying the item from you at its own quote — faster and certain, but the quote is set below market. Both routes pay into your balance, which you can withdraw after the 8-day cancellation window.

Why does Skin.Place quote an instant-sell price for so few items?

Their instant-sell list recognises far more skins than it quotes a price for. A missing price means the site is not buying that item at the moment; it is not an offer of zero.

How long until I can withdraw after a sale?

For a new account, sale proceeds sit in your balance for an 8-day cancellation period, then go out to card, PayPal, SEPA, Pix, BLIK, Zen, a Kinguin wallet or crypto with a $5 minimum; USDT withdrawals carry no commission. Once you have Steam level 5, $750 in total sales, a public profile and completed KYC, you get an instant limit of up to $500 that skips the hold. It refills every 8 days, resets annually, and grows 5% with each sale until VIP status.

What does the Skin.Place TradeManager extension do?

It is a free Chrome extension that watches the Steam trade-offer page. When a Skin.Place trade comes in, it checks that the offer is from one of their real bots and that the items in it match what you agreed, and warns you before you accept anything that does not add up. It is a guard against the fake-bot trick, not a replacement for reading the offer yourself.

Can I use Skin.Place to value my inventory?

Yes. Their inventory page shows the total value of your Steam inventory, lets you inspect each item, and tracks how its price has moved over time. You can also load a Steam friend's inventory next to yours to compare.

Is Skin.Place better than the Steam Market?

The Steam Community Market charges a 15% seller fee, while Skin.Place charges 0%. Third-party marketplaces like Skin.Place generally save you 10–30% compared with Steam Market prices, at the cost of Steam's built-in buyer protection.

How do I withdraw money from Skin.Place?

Skin.Place supports the following withdrawal methods: PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, SEPA, Pay by Zen, Pix, BLIK, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Kinguin Wallet. Processing times vary by method. Make sure your account is verified before attempting a withdrawal.
