How fast you get paid

  1. Sign in with Steam

    Through Steam's own login page. Add your trade URL once and you're set.

  2. See your price

    Every item gets an offer straight away. No listing, no waiting for a buyer.

  3. Accept the trade

    Our bot sends the trade offer. You confirm it in the Steam app.

  4. Withdraw

    Pick PayPal or crypto. Payouts are sent automatically, not from a manual queue.

CS2 items: Steam lets the sender reverse a CS2 trade for 7 days (trade protection), on every site. We release the money as soon as that period ends. Rust, Dota 2 and TF2 items are paid right after the trade.

Is SkinBaron legit?

Yes. SkinBaron is run by SkinBaron GmbH in Hof, Germany, and has a 4.5 TrustScore from 4,234 reviews.

Its negative reviews are mostly about failed trades and trade protection waits, the 15% seller fee and a buyer fee shown late, and a confusing flow with slow support. Payments are handled by Adyen.
