1. Navigate to the Market

Click Market in the top navigation bar.

2. Find Your Skin

Use the search bar to find a specific skin, or browse using the filters on the left:

  • Price range

  • Color

  • Exterior (Factory New, Minimal Wear, etc.)

  • Category & Weapon

On the item page you can also filter by Float and Pattern to find something specific.

3. Choose an Offer

Each skin listing shows multiple offers. You'll see two types of delivery:

  • Instant — Delivered immediately through Steam. No fees.

  • P2P — Delivered by an external seller. 1% fee applies. Seller has up to 12 hours to send the skin.

4. Purchase the Skin

  • If you have enough balance, click Buy to complete the purchase.

  • If you don't have enough balance, click Add Funds to top up first, then complete the purchase.

5. Receiving Your Skin

  • Instant: Your skin arrives immediately.

  • P2P: Wait for the seller to send the trade offer and accept it on Steam. If no skin is received, you'll be automatically refunded to your SkinSwap balance within 12 hours.
