FAQ
Is it safe to trade skins on third-party sites?
It can be, if the site trades through Steam trade offers and never asks for your Steam password. Always check the trade offer in the Steam app before you accept it, because scammers rely on fake sites and fake offers.
What is a trade bot?
A Steam account run by a trading site. You pick items on the site and the bot sends you a Steam trade offer, so the swap happens at once instead of waiting for another player.
What is a trade-up contract?
An in-game contract that turns several skins of one rarity into one random skin of the next rarity, drawn from the collections of the skins you put in. The trade-up guide explains how to read the odds.
