CS2 Marketplace Fee Comparison
| Platform Type | Selling Fee | Payout Method | Withdrawal Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| P2P (CSBoard) | 2% P2P sales; 0% direct item exchanges | USDT (TRC20/BEP20/Solana/TON) | Instant |
| Traditional Bot Site | 5-15% | Bank Transfer/Crypto | 1-7 days |
| Steam Community Market | 15% | Steam Wallet | Instant (wallet locked) |
Bot-based marketplaces hold your skin in their inventory during the listing period. P2P platforms keep the item in your Steam inventory until a buyer is found, eliminating custodial risk and enabling instant delivery.
How CS2 P2P Marketplaces Work
Peer-to-peer CS2 marketplaces connect buyers and sellers directly. When you list a skin, it stays in your Steam inventory. A buyer sends payment (typically USDT) to the platform's escrow system. Once payment is confirmed, the platform releases your Steam trade offer to the buyer. After the buyer accepts, the escrowed funds are released to you instantly.
This model eliminates the need for trading bots that hold thousands of skins in centralized inventories. CSBoard uses Steam's official trade API to execute every transaction, meaning trades appear as standard Steam trades between two real accounts.
