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

Who picks Skin.Place
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.
