You can trade your skins, your balance, or both for other skins on the Trade page.
How do I trade?
Go to the Trade page and choose CS2 or Rust.
Under Your Inventory, select the skins you want to trade, or use your balance.
Under Marketplace, select the skins you want to receive.
Confirm the trade.
Check the sender details shown on SkinSwap and accept the trade offers in Steam. The first one takes your skins; the skins you chose come in a separate offer.
CS2 and Rust items cannot be combined in one trade.
What do the icons mean?
Instant (lightning icon): sent right away, and you can accept it immediately.
P2P (hourglass icon): sent by a real seller, who has up to 12 hours to send it. Nobody can speed this up.
Why is there nothing for me in the first trade offer?
When you trade with your skins, the first trade offer takes your skins and shows nothing on your side. This is normal: it's your payment, like paying at a checkout. The skins you chose always come in a separate trade offer: right away for items with the lightning icon, within 12 hours for items with the hourglass icon. If you decline the first offer, the entire trade fails.
Why did I get more than one trade offer?
This is normal. Skins are held on different accounts and come from P2P sellers, partners or SkinSwap bots. We send only one trade offer per item, so check each offer against the details shown on SkinSwap.
Can prices be changed?
No. Prices cannot be changed or negotiated. Float values shown on SkinSwap are correct; if you see a mismatch, tell us so we can look into it.
Each trade over $10 also counts toward your Vault.
