Tradeit

Tradeit.gg is a traditional bot-based service. Sellers deposit items into Tradeit.gg’s Steam bot inventory, and once purchased or traded, the items transfer to the buyer or trader automatically. This model supports near-instant buyouts, free of manual acceptance steps. However, sellers must part with their items upfront, so they can’t list them on multiple marketplaces simultaneously, and the site enforces certain fees tied to item values and trade holds.

Despite being overshadowed by certain well-known competitors, Tradeit.gg continues to draw roughly a million visits monthly. Its focus on major titles beyond CS2—DOTA 2, Team Fortress 2, Rust—helped diversify its audience. While the majority of users come from CIS regions, Tradeit.gg supports buyers and sellers across the globe. Over time, the platform solidified its position as a reliable choice for users seeking quick, bot-automated trades, albeit sometimes at higher fees.

Founded in 2017, Tradeit.gg rose to prominence through a combination of multi-game support and competitive trading fees relative to the Steam Community Market (where Valve’s cut is 15%). Over the years, the site updated its interface and expanded its deposit/withdrawal options, though some users feel the current UI can be cumbersome. Initially, offering a range of transaction types—trading skins for skins, buying skins outright, and instant selling for cash—helped Tradeit.gg stand out, but high fees on certain services remain a hotly debated topic.

Tradeit.gg charges different fees for different operations:

1. Trading Skins (bot exchange):

   • Base 2% fee plus $0.05 per trade, with an additional 0–13% fee depending on the item’s trade hold status.

2. Instant Selling for Cash:

   • A hefty 60% cut from the item’s value plus an extra $10 per item.

   • Payments are made in cryptocurrency, and there are no fiat-based payout methods at this time.

These fees can significantly reduce the value sellers receive, especially on large or rare items. For buyers, trades and purchases remain fairly straightforward—though they don’t face the same direct fees, the cost of skins might reflect the overhead sellers incur.

1. Fast Transactions: Once skins are in the bots’ inventory, trades or purchases finalize in just seconds.

2. Multi-Game Support: DOTA 2, CS2, TF2, and Rust items can be traded or sold, reducing the need for separate sites.

3. Varied Payment Methods: Users can top up their Tradeit wallet in multiple ways, making it relatively accessible.

4. Large Inventory: A wide variety of skins are available to browse, suiting different budget levels and preferences.

5. Established Track Record: Operating since 2017, it’s one of the older and more recognized third-party markets.

• High Instant-Sell Fees: A 60% cut plus $10 per item is prohibitive for those wanting maximum returns.

• Lack of Transparency: The site’s nuanced fees (trade hold surcharges, per-trade charges) can be confusing.

• No Built-In Skin Inspection: Users must launch CS2 or rely on external tools to view float values or patterns.

• Bot-Only Model: Sellers can’t keep items in their own inventory while listing, missing out on P2P flexibility and possibly having to wait on trade holds.

• UI Complexity: Newcomers might find navigation less intuitive than on more polished alternatives.

1. Buying: Log in with Steam, go to the Store tab, select items, then purchase via available payment options or by topping up your Tradeit wallet. Delivery is instant as items are stored on Tradeit.gg bots.

2. Selling: For instant cash, click “Sell for Cash” in the Sell tab and select items to deposit. The site deducts its 60% + $10 fee and pays out in crypto. Alternatively, you can list items for trade if you prefer item-for-item exchanges.

3. Trading: In the Trade section, pick items from your inventory (left) and what you want from the bots (right), confirm the transaction, and wait for the bot’s trade offer.
