Three balances, and only one pays out
Tradeit.gg is a trade bot and skin store for CS2, Rust and TF2. A trade bot holds its own stock of skins on Steam accounts it runs: you offer your skins, pick others from its stock, and the bot sends you a normal Steam trade offer. No other player is involved. Tradeit has run since 2017 and had about 5.2 million visits in August 2026.
Before you put money in, understand its balances. Its help centre, checked on 24 October 2026, describes three:
- Trade Balance covers the gap when your skin is worth less than the one you want from the bot.
- Store Balance buys skins outright from the store.
- Revenue holds the money from skins you sold to Tradeit.
Only Revenue can be cashed out. Trade and Store Balance can't be withdrawn or moved into each other, so a top-up in the wrong one stays there. The terms say the same: money in your wallet "cannot be withdrawn". Our older listing said Tradeit pays out to crypto, card or skins. In practice, money you deposit leaves as skins. Cash only comes out when you sell skins to Tradeit, and card payouts are still marked "coming soon".
What a swap costs
There's no separate fee line. The terms say Tradeit takes a commission of 0% to 30% of an item's value, already inside the price you see, and its help page says its own system sets prices without tying them to the Steam Market or other sites. Third-party fee figures from September 2026 put the trade spread, meaning the value you lose on a skin-for-skin swap with the bot, at about 15%. On a $100 skin that's roughly $15. A five-star Trustpilot review from September says the same thing kindly: prices are "a bit low" when you trade in.
If the bot already holds too many of an item, it shows as "Overstock" and won't take it until stock falls.
Selling for cash: slow and expensive
Instant Sell is the only way to sell for cash today. The sell page advertises listing items at your own price, but a help article updated on 2 August 2026 says listing for cash and listing for trade balance are both "coming soon". Instant Sell carries a platform fee of 5% to 20% depending on the item, built into the offer. That fee is measured against Tradeit's own price. Third-party figures compare its offers with the wider market and put them about 23% under it.
Then you pay to get the money out:
| Payout | Minimum | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Bank transfer | $10 | 2% |
| Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT (ERC20), Solana | $10 | 2% |
| Store Balance | none | none |
| Debit card | coming soon | not published |
Bank payouts need both you and your account in the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia, Singapore, Mexico or Israel. PayPal payouts have been discontinued.
It also takes time. Steam's trade protection lets a CS2 trade be reversed for 7 days, so sale money can only be paid out after that. Tradeit puts the average from sale to cash at 7 to 10 days, with about 14 as the realistic worst case, and says a bank transfer then takes 2 to 3 business days. Put together: a skin worth $100 elsewhere sells for about $77 at the estimated 23% under market, about $75 after the 2% crypto fee, and lands one to two weeks later.
The sell page offers a bonus of up to 40% if you keep earnings as balance instead. That bonus is for spending on Tradeit.
Buying from the store
Buying is Tradeit's strong side. Third-party figures put its store prices about 3% above CSFloat, a marketplace where players sell to each other and the usual price benchmark. That's close for a bot that delivers at once. You pay in US dollars by Visa or Mastercard, crypto, Pix, iDEAL, Stripe's Link, Kinguin gift cards and other regional methods. PayPal only works through the Kinguin option, which one September reviewer called annoying. Skins still under a trade lock wait in your Tradeit inventory, and the help centre says there's no time limit to withdraw them.
Refunds are narrow. The terms allow one within 14 days, and the help centre adds that the item must still be trade locked in your Tradeit inventory. It goes back to the original payment method, and a 3% processor fee may apply. Crypto deposits can't be refunded at all.
Reverting a trade gets you banned
Steam's trade protection reverses all CS2 trades from the past 7 days, not just one. If you revert, Steam gives your account a 30-day trade ban, and Tradeit bans you too. Its help pages disagree on how long: two say permanent, while another says 30 days and that support will review it. If a trade goes wrong, ask support for a refund before touching Steam.
KYC: none to swap, ID for big card payments
Swapping skins needs no ID. Money does. A help article updated on 31 August 2026 says a card top-up or store purchase of $2,000 or more triggers a one-time Stripe Identity check, an ID photo plus a selfie, and the payment is held until you pass. Payouts may also need your name, age and payment method verified, because Tradeit says it follows US KYC and AML rules. The terms also cap what exchanged items can add to your wallet at $3,000 a day. Our old "no KYC" label only holds for swaps.
Who runs it
The terms name Tradeit.gg LLC, at an address in Lewes, Delaware, and the footer also lists TRADEITGG LTD in Famagusta, Cyprus. Brothers Jimi and Shai Gecelter founded it, and it is Team Vitality's official trading partner. Disputes go to Delaware courts after at least 30 days of trying to settle. You must be 18, and sanctioned places including Russia, Belarus, Iran and Crimea are barred.
Two points from its record matter if you leave money there. When Tradeit absorbed the skin rental site Lootbear in June 2025, Lootbear items moved over but balances did not, and Tradeit says it has no control over them. And the terms let it delete balances unused for 12 months, after 14 days' notice.
Its homepage counter shows about 69.4 million trades; its About page says 500 million plus. Our earlier "half a billion" used the larger figure.
Reputation
Tradeit has 4.7 on Trustpilot from 22,098 reviews. Its own pages claim 4.8 and 4.9 in different places, so go by Trustpilot itself. Recent reviews praise speed, and one describes support sorting out a trade after the reviewer's Steam account was hacked. The terms say staff never send empty trade offers and only help through the site or contact@tradeit.gg, so treat anyone else claiming to be Tradeit as a scammer.
How it compares
| Tradeit.gg | CS.MONEY | SkinsMonkey | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade spread | about 15% | about 15% | about 10% |
| Store vs CSFloat | about 3% higher | about 4% higher | about 16% higher |
| Instant sell vs market | about 23% under | about 5% under | none (balance can't be withdrawn) |
| Trustpilot | 4.7 from 22,098 | 4.7 from 9,227 | 4.7 from 2,482 |
All fee figures are third-party estimates from September 2026, not our measurements.
Who it suits
Use Tradeit to buy skins, and for swaps if a 15% spread is acceptable for the convenience. For cash, a player-to-player market such as CSFloat, with a 2% sell fee, keeps far more of a skin's value. Betrefs has no code for Tradeit; new accounts get the site's own $5 bonus on their first trade.
