CSDeals

Operating on a traditional bot-based system:

• Sellers deposit items to CS.DEALS Steam bot accounts and list them for sale.

• Buyers can purchase items immediately from the marketplace with no seller-confirmation delay.

• Traders can also exchange items with the bots, although at a higher fee than simple sales.

This approach makes transactions quick for buyers, but less flexible for sellers who want to multi-list items on other markets simultaneously.

CS.DEALS has positioned itself as a direct competitor to established marketplaces like CS.MONEY or Tradeit.gg, especially due to extensive advertising campaigns and collaboration with CS2 YouTubers. The platform has a sizable user base that appreciates its low fees and straightforward approach to buying, selling, and trading. While the UI is occasionally described as dated, the site’s functionality attracts both new and seasoned traders.

Since starting operations in 2016 (formally launching under the CS.DEALS domain on January 1st, 2019), the platform rapidly gained a reputation for speed and affordability. It capitalized on a time when bot-based markets were dominating, leveraging a 2% sale fee to undercut many rivals. Over the years, CS.DEALS has continually refined its deposit and withdrawal methods, while adding more Steam titles and a screenshot inspection feature.

1. Sale Fee: A low 2% on each item sold (CS2 or other Steam games).

2. Trading Fee: Between 6%–15% (depending on items, game, or market conditions) when directly trading skins with CS.DEALS bots.

This 2% sale fee is notably competitive, just under BUFF163’s 2.5% and substantially lower than the Steam Community Market’s 15%.

1. Low Sale Fee (2%): Attracts budget-conscious sellers aiming to retain maximum profits.

2. Swift Purchases and Trades: Bot-driven exchanges complete in seconds, with minimal wait times.

3. Screenshot Inspection: Built-in tool allows users to preview skin appearances directly on the site.

4. Multi-Game Support: Includes not only CS2 but also DOTA 2, TF2, and Rust.

5. Varied Payment & Withdrawal Methods: Users can deposit or withdraw funds via multiple channels, ensuring global accessibility.

6. Active Community and Marketing: Partnerships and influencer campaigns help keep the marketplace visible.

• Occasionally Outdated UI: Some users find the interface less modern compared to other markets.

• Trade Holds: Buyers must wait for any Steam-imposed hold to expire before fully accessing newly purchased items.

• No Instant Sell or Auction: Traders seeking an immediate cash-out or bidding system must look elsewhere.

• Potentially Slow Sales: Despite a large user base, certain items may take time to sell, depending on demand and pricing.

1. Buying:

   • Top up your CS.DEALS wallet via credit card, e-wallet, or other payment methods.

   • Select desired items, add them to the cart, and confirm the purchase.

   • Purchased skins remain on CS.DEALS until withdrawn; if no trade hold applies, they can be moved to your Steam inventory immediately.

2. Selling:

   • Navigate to the “Sell” tab, select items from your Steam inventory to deposit into CS.DEALS bots.

   • List them for sale, set prices, and wait for a buyer.

   • Once sold, funds go into your CS.DEALS wallet, which you can withdraw through various payout methods.

3. Trading:

   • In the “Trade” section, pick items from your deposited skins (left) and the bot’s available skins (right).

   • If your items’ value is greater than what you receive, the difference is converted to in-site tokens.

   • A quick “TRADE” finalizes the deal, and the bot sends you a Steam trade offer.
