Buying Chinese skins on SkinSwap is simple. You can use your SkinSwap FIAT balance to purchase items directly from Chinese marketplaces without needing a Chinese account or any extra setup.

1. Add balance to your account

Before buying, make sure you have enough balance. All Chinese Market purchases are paid with your SkinSwap balance.

2. Search for the skin you want

Open the Chinese Markets tab.
Here you can search for any item using the search bar or filters.

This page shows every available Chinese listing in real time.

3. Choose an offer

When you open an item page, you’ll see:

• Chinese Market price
• The low 1% SkinSwap fee
• Median delivery time
• Properties and more information

Use this info to pick the most reliable or best-priced offer.

4. Click Buy

Once you select an offer, click Buy. This opens the checkout panel.

5. Review the refund policy

Before completing your order, you’ll need to confirm a few important points:

• Delivery may take up to twelve hours
• If you reverse a trade you already accepted on Steam, it will not be refunded
• If the seller cancels or fails to deliver, you’ll be refunded automatically

Once you agree, the purchase begins.

6. Wait while we create your order

After you confirm, SkinSwap creates the order on the Chinese marketplace. This usually takes up to five minutes.

You can track everything from your profile page.

You’re safe from reversals

  • If the seller cancels or reverses the trade, the money is returned automatically to your SkinSwap balance.

  • If you prefer the refund back to your original payment method, you can request a withdrawal through support.

⚠️ Important:
If you reverse a trade you already accepted on Steam, it will not be refunded.

Low fee

Chinese Market purchases on SkinSwap only include a 1% fee, making it one of the cheapest and safest ways to buy items from Chinese sellers.
