Tradeit.gg

Introduction

Tradeit.gg is a marketplace for Steam items, particularly for CS:GO skins and items. The platform was founded about 5 years ago, on August 30th, 2017. Tradeit.gg is currently operated by Jimi Gecelter, with headquarters in Lewes, Delaware, US. The Tradeit.gg marketplace and company have been vetted by CSGOSKINS.GG and deemed trustworthy by all our standards.

Popularity

Tradeit.gg is rated 4.9 out of 5 with over 10.1K reviews on Trustpilot. The Tradeit.gg platform received approximately 1.4M visits during the last month. There are currently 10.5K different items available on the marketplace, with a total of 141.3K listed offers. Additionally, the combined value of all CS:GO skins that are currently available on the Tradeit.gg market amounts to $1.3M.

Market Type

Tradeit.gg is a traditional bot-based marketplace. That means a seller must first deposit an item before it can be listed on the market. The deposit is done by sending the item to one of Tradeit.gg’s Steam bot accounts. Compared to P2P markets where the item can be listed on the marketplace while still being in the seller’s inventory, this is not such a smooth experience for the seller. But it provides a better buyer experience because upon purchase, the buyer can immediately receive the item without needing to wait for the seller to accept the trade.

History

Originally launched in 2017, Tradeit.gg is one of the older third-party CS:GO skin marketplaces on the internet where users can trade, buy or sell CS:GO skins with real money. Tradeit is a bot-based skin marketplace and has been a prominent competitor to other similar markets like CS.MONEY despite it being significantly less popular than the latter.

At the time of its launch, it was one of the very few websites to support skin trading across multiple popular games like CS:GO, DOTA 2, Team Fortress 2, and Rust, which fueled its rise to popularity in a relatively short span of time.

Transaction Fees

Tradeit.gg has separate transaction fees for trading skins with their bots and instant-selling skins for real money.

Trading or exchanging skins through the bots on Tradeit.gg has a transaction fee of 2% plus $0.05 per trade, with an additional 0-13% fee depending on the item and its trade hold.

Users also have the option to instantly sell skins for cash, but it comes with a hefty fee. Instant sales made on Tradeit.gg will cost you about a whopping 60% plus a $10 fee per item sold.

Users & Popularity

Being one of the oldest bot-based CS:GO skin marketplaces out there, Tradeit.gg has managed to retain its popularity over the years while constantly attracting new users to the website due to its swift and hassle-free skin exchange system.

The website still records about a million visits per month, and the majority of its users are from the CIS region. However, Tradeit is decently popular throughout the globe, and is regularly used by buyers and sellers from most countries.

How to Use Tradeit.gg

Tradeit.gg provides users with the freedom of being able to sell skins for real money, exchanging skins for other skins available on the bots, or directly purchasing skins with real money. However, the new UI can make it difficult for newer users to navigate through the sections of the website.

We’re going to take a look at how you can buy, sell, or trade skins through Tradeit.gg.

Before getting started, make sure that you’re logged into the website with your Steam account, and have your Steam Trade URL at hand, since you’ll need to paste it when prompted to receive or sell skins on the platform.
