Most CS2 skin marketplaces route your trades through automated bot accounts. You deposit skins to a bot, wait for a buyer, and hope the bot releases your item. CSBoard removes that layer entirely. When you trade on CSBoard, you're trading directly with another player—your Steam account interacts with their Steam account through the standard trade offer system. No bot holds your skins, no bot can fail, and no bot can get trade-banned.

Frequently Asked Questions

CSBoard acts as a listing platform and escrow coordinator, not a skin custodian. When you list a skin, it appears in the marketplace at /en/items. A buyer sends a trade offer request through CSBoard, which generates a standard Steam trade offer. Both parties confirm the trade in Steam's native interface. CSBoard never holds your skins—they remain in your inventory until the trade is accepted by both sides.
