Steam is not kind enough to let you sell your skins for real money which begs the question, can you sell your skins for real money that reflects on your bank account? Yes, there are ways, but it involves going outside the bounds of Stream and selling your skins on 3rd party websites that let you take the money directly into the bank account.
While there are a plethora of third-party sites to sell your skins, according to Steam it isn’t legal to sell through them which is why we will refrain from suggesting you go down that route. In the event of Steam finding out, they reserve the right to suspend your account which means you will lose your account and all the skins that it houses.
To sell CSGO skins for real money, you can follow these general steps:
- Choose a Marketplace: There are several online marketplaces where you can sell your CSGO skins. Some popular platforms include Steam Community Market, Bitskins, SkinCashier, and OPSkins. Research and compare these platforms to find the one that suits your needs best.
- Create an Account: Sign up and create an account on your chosen marketplace. Follow the registration process, which usually requires providing some personal information and verifying your identity.
- List Your Skins: Once your account is set up, you can list your CSGO skins for sale. Provide accurate information about the skins, including their condition, wear, and any unique qualities. You’ll also need to set a price for each skin.
- Wait for Buyers: Potential buyers will browse the marketplace and find your listed skins. They can then make offers or purchase the skins directly if you’ve set a fixed price. Be patient and allow time for interested buyers to contact you.
- Negotiate and Finalize the Sale: If a buyer makes an offer, you can negotiate the price or other terms of the sale. Once both parties agree on the terms, finalize the transaction by confirming the sale on the marketplace platform.
- Transfer the Skins: Depending on the marketplace, you may need to transfer the skins to the buyer manually. Some platforms provide an escrow service to ensure secure transactions. Follow the instructions provided by the marketplace to complete the transfer.
- Receive Payment: After the buyer receives the skins, you should receive your payment. The method of payment will vary depending on the marketplace you used. Common payment options include PayPal, Skrill, or cryptocurrency. Follow the instructions provided by the marketplace to receive your funds.
- Withdraw or Use the Funds: Once you have received the payment, you can choose to withdraw the funds to your bank account, PayPal, or other preferred payment method. Alternatively, you can use the funds within the marketplace to purchase other items or skins.
