Skinport

Absolutely. Skinport is officially registered and based in Stuttgart, Germany, and has been in operation since 2018. It adheres to all European regulations, using Adyen as its payment processor which is a licensed banking entity. Both buyers and sellers enjoy consumer protections in line with EU standards, which guarantees the security of your funds and transactions.

Skinport functions as a bot-operated marketplace. Sellers initially deposit their items into the Steam bot accounts provided by Skinport. Once a buyer makes a purchase, the item is delivered instantly, eliminating the need for the seller to confirm the transaction manually. While this enhances the buying experience, it means sellers cannot retain items in their inventories while they're listed.

The standard selling fee is set at 12%. However, if you're selling high-value items in your local currency, or if you conduct private sales, the fee can drop down to 6%. Importantly, buyers do not incur additional processing fees, making purchasing skins from Skinport appealing.

Skinport welcomes users from many regions, but cashing out from game items isn't allowed in certain countries. If selling is prohibited in your location, you can still purchase items, but you won't be able to sell your own skins. For the supported countries, payments typically transfer directly to a bank account once a sale is completed.

Skinport uses Adyen to handle all transactions. Buyers can pay via credit card or other regional options. Earnings from sales are deposited directly into your bank account in your local currency. Since there is no wallet or balance held on the site, you can't use proceeds from sales to buy new skins directly; the money goes into your bank account, where you can then choose to buy again.
