How quickly are deposits credited to my account?

Typically, your balance is updated within 10 minutes of a successful payment. If you experience longer delays (several hours or more), we recommend contacting your payment system's support service.

Can I get a refund for unused funds in my account?

Yes, but only for full deposits in their original denomination (such as $10, $25, or $50) that haven't been used at all. Remember that if you've spent any portion of a deposit, that deposit becomes ineligible for a refund.

What should I do if something goes wrong with my transaction?

If you experience any transaction issues, please contact our customer support team immediately at info@cs2skinsbay.com. Include your order number and a detailed description of the problem, add screenshots or error messages if applicable. Our support team will investigate your case and work to resolve it as quickly as possible.

What is Steam trade lock?

A trade lock is a restriction imposed by Steam on CS2 items. It typically lasts up to 8 days and is designed to prevent fraudulent item transfers to storage accounts. For cs2skinsbay users this means you must wait for the trade lock to expire before transferring purchased items to your Steam inventory.

I accepted a trade with trade-locked items. How do I withdraw them?

When you accept a trade involving trade-locked items, you'll see them in your inventory. A timer will indicate when the Steam trade lock expires, after which you can withdraw the items to your Steam inventory.

Does having Steam Guard enabled affect trade lock durations?

Steam Guard mobile authenticator is highly recommended, as it adds extra security to your account. Without it, you may face longer trade holds and restrictions. However, Steam guard does not prevent trade locks on newly traded items.

What types of CS2 skins can I sell?

We support a wide range of CS2 skins, including weapon skins, knives, gloves, and other in-game cosmetic items. The key requirements are that the item must be tradable, not market-locked, and comply with Steam's trading guidelines. Rare and high-condition skins often fetch the best prices.

How do I get paid when my skins sell?

Once your skins are sold, the funds are immediately credited to your account balance. You have two convenient options:

  • Use the balance to purchase other skins on our marketplace
  • Withdraw the money to your preferred payment method
Is there a limit to how many skins I can sell at once?

There's no strict limit on how many skins you can list at a time. But if your account is new, there might be some temporary limits until you build up a good selling history. As you complete more successful transactions, those limits will increase.

How do you ensure the safety of my transactions?

We implement multiple security measures, including verification processes, transaction monitoring, and secure payment gateways to protect both buyers and sellers from potential fraud.

Why is my account restricted?

We take the security of our marketplace seriously to protect all users. If you've received a notification about a account restriction, this could occur due to various security concerns, such as:

  • Suspicious login activity
  • Potential fraud detection
  • Violation of marketplace terms

To resolve the restriction, please contact our support team directly. Our specialists will conduct a thorough review of your account and, when possible, lift the restriction after verifying your account information. Most account restrictions can be addressed quickly through our support process.
