Frequently asked questions

MoneySkins is a peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2 items. You trade directly with other players, and we handle the payment and the Steam trade for you from start to finish.

Find a listing you want and pay from your wallet balance or by card. Your payment is held safely while the seller sends the item on Steam, and only released once the trade completes.

Yes. When you buy, we hold your payment securely and release it to the seller only once the Steam trade actually completes. If a trade falls through, the hold comes back to you, so a no-show can never cost you.

For TF2 and Dota 2, the moment the Steam trade confirms your payout lands in your MoneySkins wallet, with no hold and no waiting period. CS2 works differently because Steam gives every CS2 trade a 7 day window in which it can be undone. We hold a CS2 payout for 7 days and 12 hours after delivery, check the trade once more, then release it. Your trades page shows the exact date and we email you when the money lands.

Pay from your MoneySkins wallet balance or securely by debit or credit card at checkout.

Yes. You sign in with Steam, and items are traded through Steam's own system, so your items never leave Steam's protection.

Team Fortress 2, Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2 are all live. Pick your game and browse live listings from real sellers.

Sign in with Steam, then list any tradable item from your inventory in a couple of clicks. When it sells, you accept the trade and send the Steam offer, and we walk you through every step.

Sellers have 48 hours to accept a sale, then 6 hours to send the trade. Miss either window and the trade is cancelled and your full payment returns to your wallet. In the rare case where Steam cannot tell us what happened to a trade, we hold your funds instead of guessing and sort it out by hand.

A flat 2.5% on each completed sale, and nothing else. Listing items is always free, and the fee only applies when your item actually sells.

You can request a payout from your wallet balance at any time. Each request is reviewed and then sent to you, and your available balance updates the moment it's processed.

Listings start at just $0.50, so you can trade everything from cheap drops to high-value items.
