Why do we test with €20?

It’s enough to test how the site works in a real-world way - without risking high-value items.

Do you update old reviews?

Yes. We re-check top sites every few months to see if anything changed (new payment methods, bugs, fees or issues).

Do marketplaces pay you for reviews?

No. Some may offer affiliate programs, but we only include them after full verification - no exceptions.

Can I request a site to be tested?

Absolutely. Use our contact page and we’ll queue it for testing.

Do you test scam reports from users?

Yes. If we receive complaints about a verified site, we go back and re-test it. If something's off — we’ll update or remove the listing. However, be mindful that often fake sites pose as the real ones, and people may be scammed by the fake ones.

How We Verify CS2 Skin Marketplaces

Not sure which CS2 skin marketplaces you can actually trust? We get it — there are a lot of sites out there, and not all of them are legit.

That’s why we test every marketplace ourselves before adding it to CS2SkinsMarket.gg. We don’t just read reviews or copy what others say — we spend real money and go through the full process, just like you would.

We Spend at least €20 to Test Each Site

Every site we list is verified by actually depositing and trading at least €20 worth of skins.

Here’s what that test includes:

We deposit real money using a Bank card
We buy and sell skins, usually common skins that can be easily sold later
We test cashout (if available) as well as withdrawing skins
We contact support to see how fast and helpful they are even about trivial issues.

If anything looks sketchy, we stop right there – and we won’t list the marketplace on our site.

Our Marketplace Verification Criteria

We check every cs2 skins marketplace against several key criteria:

1. Safety & Security

Does the site use HTTPS encryption?
Is the Steam bot legit and verified?
Any history of scams, hacks, or bans?

2. Ease of Use

Can you find skins quickly?
Are filters (price, float, stickers) easy to use?
Is the site mobile-friendly?

3. Payment & Cashout Options

What deposit methods are available (PayPal, crypto, skins)?
Can you withdraw to real money or just trade?
Are fees clearly shown?

4. Trade Speed

How long do bot offers take to arrive?
Are trades automatic or manual?
Any failed or stuck trades?

5. Support Quality

Is there a live chat, Discord, or email?
How quickly do they respond?
Do they actually solve the issue?

What Happens If a Site Fails?

If a marketplace:

Sends a wrong trade offer
Delays the trade without reason
Has a non-working support system
Or hides fees or terms…

We won’t list it. Simple as that.

We only feature sites we’d trust with our own skins. We have been using marketplaces long before reviewing them, and know exactly what the average user is looking for in their search for a suitable marketplace.
