The Backpack

What the Backpack is, when you can withdraw items to Steam and what happens if you do not.

Written by Jop

The Backpack holds items you own on SkinSwap that are waiting to be withdrawn to your Steam inventory, such as trade-locked items you bought.

Where is my Backpack?

On the Trade page, click the game selector button above your inventory, then click Backpack.

How do I withdraw an item?

  1. Wait until the item's trade lock ends. The exact unlock time is shown on every item.

  2. Hover over the item.

  3. Click Withdraw.

  4. Accept the trade offer in Steam.

Can I trade or sell Backpack items?

No. Backpack items are already yours, so they cannot be used in trades. To trade or sell them, withdraw them to your Steam inventory first.

Is there a time limit?

Yes. Once an item is unlocked, you have 7 days to withdraw it. After that, it is automatically refunded to your balance at the price you paid.
