Tradeit

Tradeit.gg operates as a traditional bot-based service. Sellers submit items to Tradeit.gg’s Steam bot inventory, and once sold or traded, the items are automatically transferred to the buyer or trader. This setup allows for near-instant buyouts, eliminating manual acceptance steps. However, sellers must relinquish their items beforehand, preventing them from listing on multiple platforms simultaneously, and the site imposes specific fees related to item values and trade holds.

Even though it faces competition from some well-known rivals, Tradeit.gg maintains approximately a million visits each month. Its focus on major titles beyond CS2—like DOTA 2, Team Fortress 2, and Rust—has helped broaden its appeal. Most users hail from CIS regions, but Tradeit.gg welcomes buyers and sellers from around the world. Over time, the platform has established itself as a dependable choice for those looking for swift, automated trades, albeit sometimes at higher fees.

Established in 2017, Tradeit.gg gained recognition by supporting multiple games and offering competitive trading fees compared to the Steam Community Market (where Valve takes a 15% cut). Over the years, the site has updated its interface and expanded its deposit/withdrawal options, though some users find the current layout less user-friendly. By originally providing various transaction methods—trading skins for skins, outright purchasing skins, and instant selling for cash—Tradeit.gg distinguished itself, but the high fees on select services remain a hotly debated subject.

Tradeit.gg charges varying fees based on different actions:

1. Trading Skins (bot exchange):

   • Standard 2% fee plus £0.04 per trade, with an extra 0–13% depending on the item’s trade hold status.

2. Instant Selling for Cash:

   • A substantial 60% deduction from the item’s value in addition to £8 per item.

   • Payments are processed in cryptocurrency, and there are currently no options for fiat withdrawals.

These fees can considerably diminish the value that sellers receive, especially for large or rare items. For buyers, trading and purchasing generally remain simpler—though they don’t directly face the same fees, the prices of skins might reflect the added costs that sellers encounter.

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

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

3. Diverse Payment Methods: Users can replenish their Tradeit wallet in various ways, making it fairly accessible.

4. Extensive Inventory: A wide array of skins are available for browsing, catering to different budgets and preferences.

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

• Exorbitant Instant-Sell Fees: A 60% deduction plus £8 per item can be a major drawback for those seeking maximum returns.

• Lack of Clarity: The site’s complex fee structure (trade hold surcharges, per-trade fees) can be perplexing.

• No Integrated Skin Inspection: Users must start CS2 or rely on third-party tools to check float values or patterns.

• Bot-Only Interface: Sellers cannot keep items in their own inventory while listing them, lacking P2P flexibility, and potentially facing trade hold delays.

• Complex UI: New users might find navigation less intuitive compared to slicker alternatives.

1. Buying: Sign in with Steam, go to the Store tab, choose items, then purchase using available payment options or by adding funds to your Tradeit wallet. Delivery is immediate as items are kept in Tradeit.gg’s bots.

2. Selling: For instant cash, click “Sell for Cash” in the Sell tab and choose the items you want to deposit. The site will take its 60% + £8 fee and pay out in crypto. Alternatively, you can opt to list items for trade if you favour exchanges over items.

3. Trading: In the Trade section, select items from your inventory (left) and what you desire from the bots (right), confirm the trade, and await the bot’s offer.
