Sell CSGO skins instantly through PayPal

There’s no question that selling CSGO skins directly to other players involves a higher risk and knowledge than simply selling skins through a trusted third-party website.

A simple search for “CSGO skin scams” shows a whopping 1 450 000 results, which means that there has been, and still is a big problem that players are getting scammed when trading.

PayPal is one of the most popular payment methods in the world and is therefore often used in such schemes.

The most important thing to be aware of when selling CSGO skins through PayPal is chargebacks. Chargebacks can potentially be used by the buyer if the money is not sent as a gift or to family/friends.

If you want to sell CSGO skins for PayPal money directly to another player instead of through a CSGO gambling site, we suggest that you get the buyer's email and send them an invoice.

Make sure to check their Steam account before you trade. If they have a high Steam level and a good standing on SteamRep.com there’s a far bigger chance that it’s a legit trade, and that no one is trying to scam you.

Buy CSGO skins through PayPal

There are mainly two ways to buy CSGO skins through PayPal.

1. Buy CSGO skins through a website.
2. Buy CSGO skins from another player.

For newer players, we’d recommend using trusted sites when buying CSGO skins through PayPal. That way you’re 100% certain that you won’t get scammed.

Even for more experienced players, there’s always a risk when buying skins directly from another player. Luckily PayPal has now got their Buyer Protection service for virtual goods as well, and you can potentially get your money back if:

• The item is not as described.

• You did not benefit from the transaction.

Step by Step - SkinCashier

1. Select a CSGO skin site

To start out you first need to choose a CSGO trading site to sell your skins. We’ve compiled a list above, taking into account both trustworthiness, reviews, pricing, and of course, having PayPal available.

Not everyone prefers the same when it comes to selling CSGO skins. Some might like to get the absolute best price out there, even if it takes months to sell, while others would like to be paid instantly, at a reduced price.

In this guide on how to sell CSGO skins through PayPal, we use the latter as an example. Here’s how you can sell your CSGO skins for PayPal money instantly.

SkinCashier is a CSGO skin selling site that pays you instantly through PayPal for your CSGO skins, but you can choose any of the sites above.

2. Choose to sell your CSGO skins for PayPal money

Once you’ve selected a website, the next thing is to create an account. You do that easily by signing up or logging in on Steam through their website.

Once you’ve completed the signup, you’ll most likely be prompted to fill in your email. After that’s done, you’ll need to confirm it.

Now the website has an overview of which skins you have in your Steam inventory. Only that way will you be able to sell your CSGO skins.

When you’ve connected your account, and filled in all the necessary details, the only thing remaining is to choose which CSGO skins you’d like to sell for PayPal money.

Pick your skins and click on the PayPal button as shown in the image below.

3. Enter your PayPal email address

After you’ve clicked on the PayPal logo, you’ll have to type in your email. This doesn’t have to be the main email you use day today, but it needs to be the one registered through your PayPal account. You can double-check this if you’re not using PayPal regularly.

Once you’ve typed in your email address, click on the “Get your cash instantly” button.

4. Trade details

When you initiate the trade on the CSGO PayPal site, you’ll get prompted with similar details to the one shown below. Make sure to note the following details:

• Username
• Steam level
• Registration date

5. Check the bot

Check the user on Steam to confirm the details. Again, make sure that the username, Steam level, and registration date coincide with the information you got provided by the site. The user below looks legit, as it’s been an active user for a while, with a Steam level of 10.

To be 100% sure you can check sites such as SteamRep.com to make sure that the user is legit and is not trying to scam you.

6. Accept the trade

Before you finally accept the trade and sell your CSGO skins through PayPal, you should check the trade one final time in your Steam Guard app.

Double-check that the Steam user coincides with the details you received at your CSGO skin site. Here you can see their Steam level, username, and when it was created.

7. The money is sent

Once you’ve accepted the trade, your money should be in your PayPal account within a few minutes. Sometimes it could, however, take up to 30 minutes.

You did it! Now you’ve successfully sold your CSGO skin through PayPal and can spend your money on whatever you’d like.
