Question 1

What exactly is a CSGO tradebot?

Accepted Answer

A CSGO tradebot is an automated Steam account that buys skins for cash or trades items. You send your skin to the bot, it evaluates the item, and sends you a payment (or store credit). Tradebots charge a service fee of 5–15% and often hold your skin during the transaction, which can expose you to API scams and market price drops.

Question 2

How is P2P trading on CSBoard safer than using a tradebot?

Accepted Answer

On CSBoard you never transfer a skin to a bot. The transaction happens through Steam’s native trade system: the buyer sends USDT to an escrow, you trade the skin directly to them, and the payment is released instantly. No API key is ever requested, so classic API‑scam methods don’t apply.

Question 3

Do I get paid faster with a P2P platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CSBoard settles in USDT as soon as the buyer confirms the trade — typically seconds after both sides accept. Tradebots often batch payouts and can take hours or even days to send funds.

Question 4

Are there any fees when I sell a skin on CSBoard?

Accepted Answer

No. CSBoard charges zero trading fees and zero commission on P2P sales. The price you list is the amount you earn. Visit /en/sell to start.

Question 5

How do I know I’m pricing my skin correctly without a bot’s offer?

Accepted Answer

CSBoard anchors every listing price to Buff163, the largest CS2 cash market. You can see the current Buff163 price as a reference when you list, or simply check live listings at /en/items.

Question 6

Can I still use a tradebot after trying P2P?

Accepted Answer

You can, but many traders switch completely after seeing they make 5–15% more per sale on CSBoard. P2P combines bot‑like convenience (instant payout, no haggling) with the full market price that bots never offer.
