Frequently Asked Questions

Standard trading sites use bots to intermediate every trade, which introduces item holds, withdrawal queues, and bot maintenance downtime. A P2P CS2 marketplace like CSBoard routes trades directly between player inventories via Steam's official trade API. This removes the bot as a point of failure and enables instant settlement in USDT the moment the buyer accepts the items.
