How to read this comparison
The table is ranked on a single criterion: what you actually get from a €100 sale, once the seller commission and known withdrawal fees have been deducted. That is the figure that matters when you want to turn a skin into money. For buying, look at each skin's page instead: there, the ranking is by total price paid.
Fees change often. Each profile shows the date of the last check and the sources used. If you spot an outdated figure, write to us at [email protected]: we fix it the same day.
Choosing according to your goal
- You want to cash out as much as possible: a peer-to-peer marketplace with a low commission (CSFloat) or one with strong European liquidity and free bank transfer withdrawals (Skinport). Compare with the sell calculator.
- You want to sell right now: bot sites buy instantly, but below market price (often 10 to 15% less). You pay for speed.
- You want to swap one skin for another: bot trading platforms are made for that, but their balance cannot always be withdrawn as money.
- You are buying your first skin: favour a site with a good reputation, protected card payment and a long track record.
What we check before listing a site
We only list buying and selling marketplaces. Case-opening, roulette, crash, coinflip, jackpot and skin betting sites are excluded, even when they offer higher commissions. We also check that the site has existed for several years, has a real volume of reviews and a clear withdrawal method.
Affiliation: what it changes for you
Some links in this table are affiliate links: if you sign up and buy or sell after clicking, the site pays us part of its commission. Your price does not change and the ranking never depends on these agreements. Everything is explained on the How we make money page.
