Guarantees
Two strangers trading skins for money is a problem of who goes first. SKINOX exists so that neither of you has to. This page says exactly what that means, and what it does not.
Your money is held, not forwarded
When you buy, SKINOX holds your payment. It does not reach the seller when you pay, and it does not reach them when they click accept. It reaches them after the trade has been verified and Steam's reversal window has closed.
If the seller never sends the trade, or the deadline passes, your money comes back to you. You are never in a position of having paid and having nothing.
We check the exact item, not the name
Two AK-47 Redlines are not the same object. They differ in wear, pattern and stickers, and those differences are worth real money.
SKINOX records the exact fingerprint of the item when it is listed — its paint, its pattern, its wear — and checks the item that actually arrived against it. An accepted trade offer proves a button was clicked, not that the right item moved. A mismatch does not settle. A human looks at it.
No chance-based anything
SKINOX does not open cases, does not sell keys, has no upgrader, no wheel and no mystery listings. You will never be offered a price for an unknown thing. Buy and sell, nothing else.
We never ask for your Steam credentials
Not your password, not a Steam Guard code, not your cookies — not at sign-up, not at checkout, not by email, not ever. SKINOX signs you in through Steam itself and reads your public inventory. Anyone asking you for more is not us.
Prices you can check
Before you list an item, SKINOX shows you what it is selling for on Steam, CSFloat, Skinport and Buff163, converted to dinars at a rate it also shows you. Before you commit, it shows the fee and what you will receive. You are never asked to trust a figure you cannot see the working for.
What we do not guarantee
Being honest about the limits is part of the point:
- Speed. A human seller has to accept and send the trade, so nothing here is instant. Sellers wait eight days to be paid, because Valve lets the previous owner reverse a trade for seven.
- That an item is a good price. The seller sets it. SKINOX shows you what the item fetches elsewhere so you can judge, and makes no recommendation.
- Steam being available. Trades happen on Valve's infrastructure. When Steam is down or an inventory is private, SKINOX says so rather than pretending otherwise.
- Reference prices being current. Prices from other marketplaces are read periodically and shown with where they came from. They are an anchor, not a quote.
When a seller fails a buyer
A paused seller's listings are hidden until the pause ends, and sales already paid carry on. A seller can appeal each failed sale once, within 14 days, and SKINOX answers every appeal.
