    My knife was a named "Fck you"

    “On my knife was a name tag called "Fvck you" in a special written way. And now i cannot delete that shitty tag for 7 days. What a message! That this is allowed! And for the second item i bought, I cannot transfer for 50h. All in all a reeeeeally disappointing experience.”

    “The best Great Site for Seeling or buying CS weapon”
    Trustpilot · Nov 4, 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.

SkinBaron in 2026

SkinBaron is a German marketplace run by SkinBaron GmbH. About 485,000 visits in August, almost half from Germany.

Fees

15% seller fee, the highest of the big marketplaces. There are promos that lower it (an autumn code took it to 7% until 30 September). Buying comes out about 7% above CSFloat.

Buying and selling

Card or bank transfer in; bank transfer out. You need to hand over detailed personal information to sell.

Design and UX: 6.5/10

Weapon-type tabs across the top and a sale banner, but our screenshot is mostly the consent popup, and one buyer says the UI "looks a bit like a scam". Dated.

Trust

4.5 on Trustpilot from about 4,200 reviews. Buyers like prices and quick delivery; the negatives are a frozen account and a scam case where support stayed silent.

Verdict

Fine for buying. Sell elsewhere: 15% is too much.
