    Sold skins, payment rejected by Revolut, then account banned after 1 month

    “I sold skins on ShadowPay. After the trade was completed on Steam, they were supposed to send me the payment in Bitcoin. Revolut rejected the incoming BTC transfer and returned the funds to the original address on 26 September 2026.”

Gambling sites often reward players for reviews, and people who lost review more than people who won. Trustpilot is one input to our trust score, not the verdict.

ShadowPay in 2026

ShadowPay launched in 2021 and is run by Amazing Place PTE. Limited in Singapore; its founders are anonymous. Traffic fell from about 290,000 visits in March to 127,000 in August.

Fees

  • Marketplace: 5% seller fee. Buying is about 6% above CSFloat.
  • Instant sell: about 17% under market.

Card deposits cost about 20%, a player says.

Buying and selling

Card or crypto in; crypto or card out.

Design and UX: 6/10

The site shows only its logo while it loads, which took long enough that our screenshot tool gave up. When it loads, it's a clean marketing page with trade, market and referral sections.

Trust

3.6 on Trustpilot from about 850 reviews, and July 2026 was a mess: the site was broken for more than 11 days before a maintenance banner went up, deposits got stuck, a long-time seller couldn't withdraw for a month, crypto withdrawals only worked in a short window, and KYC popped up after people had already deposited. One user reports a security incident with the official extension and an item worth about $3,300.

Verdict

It's back up, but after this summer I wouldn't keep money there. Skip it.
