About |
HaloSkins is an online peer-to-peer marketplace specializing in trading Steam items, especially skins and cosmetics for Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) (formerly CS:GO).
Key Features & Services
Marketplace Model
Sellers list their items from their Steam inventory, and buyers purchase them directly. Because it’s P2P, sellers retain control until the trade is finalized.
Security & Verification
The platform uses Steam API checks to confirm that sellers truly own the listed items. It also removes listings that are no longer valid to reduce failed trades.
For each transaction, funds are held by HaloSkins until the trade is confirmed to ensure fairness.
Fees & Pricing
Sellers are charged a 3% fee on the sale amount.
Buyer-side fees are very low; Minimal or zero buyer fees in many cases.
Deposits sincur a min 1% fee.
Delivery & Trade Process
After a buyer pays, the seller is prompted to send a Steam trade offer. The buyer checks the item (e.g. using float values) before accepting.
HaloSkins claims that all skin purchases should be deliverable within 12 hours.
App & Interface
HaloSkins offers mobile apps for Android and iOS, allowing users to browse, buy, and sell skins from their phones.
The platform also provides features like 3D skin previews so that buyers can inspect the item without launching the CS2 client.
