What Tradeit does

Tradeit is a privately held, self-serve skin trading platform for Counter-Strike 2, Rust, and TF2, founded in 2017 and operated through Tradeit.gg LLC (US) and TRADEITGG LTD (Cyprus). The platform enables individual gamers to trade, buy, and sell virtual weapon skins using automated trading bots that integrate with Steam's API for real-time price discovery and instant trade execution. As of 2026, Tradeit reports over 67 million cumulative trades completed, 2.7-3 million registered users, and more than $100 million paid out to users, with 800,000+ skins held in bot inventory at any given time.

The product surface comprises four core services: an automated bot-based skin exchange, a marketplace/store for direct skin purchases, an instant-sell service that pays out via bank transfer, debit card, crypto, or platform balance, and a giveaway/raffle system that drives engagement. Supporting tools include an inventory value calculator, float checker, SteamID finder, status checker, and an editorial blog. The platform monetizes through transaction fees on bot-mediated trades, marketplace commissions on user-listed sales, and the spread between instant-sell buy and resale prices, with no subscription tiers.

Tradeit acquires users primarily through Steam-login self-serve onboarding, community-led growth via its Discord server, an affiliate program, social media challenges, and endorsements from CS2 professional players and streamers, including an official partnership with FACEIT. The company has no disclosed funding rounds and appears to be independently operated. Its competitive positioning is built on instant execution, claimed sub-Steam 5% fee pricing, 24/7 support, and a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating across 18,000+ reviews.

Others

• FACEIT: Esports matchmaking platform and Tradeit's official partner. Relevant as a downstream distribution channel and ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor; comparable as it sits in the CS2 competitive ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Buff163: Largest Chinese third-party CS2 skin trading marketplace with massive liquidity. Competes with Tradeit for global (and especially Asian) skin-trader liquidity, though primarily China-focused.
• Waxpeer: Instant skin trading platform with bot inventory similar to Tradeit. Directly comparable in core bot-trading mechanic, fee model, and CS2 focus, though with smaller public scale.
• Skinwallet: Instant skin-to-cash buyout service that acquires skins directly from users. Directly comparable to Tradeit's instant-sell function as a liquidity provider for users wanting to cash out inventories.
• DMarket: Blockchain-based marketplace for in-game items across multiple games including CS2. Comparable business model of marketplace commission and broad game support, with added Web3/crypto positioning.
• CSFloat: Direct competitor operating a CS2 skin marketplace with bot-based instant trading and a focus on float/float-value transparency. Closest product overlap with Tradeit in core CS2 trading functionality and target audience.
• Skinbid: CS2/CS:GO skin marketplace allowing users to list and sell skins via auction-style listings with buyer-side fees. Overlaps with Tradeit's marketplace functionality for sellers cashing out inventories.
• Skinport: Major CS2/CS:GO skin marketplace offering direct cash purchases and sales with fiat payouts. Competes head-to-head with Tradeit's marketplace and instant-sell services for the same buyer/seller audience.
• Lootbear: Former CS:GO skin rental/inventory management platform that shut down and migrated its user base to Tradeit. Historical direct competitor in adjacent inventory services for skin collectors.

Broad incumbents

• Valve (Steam Marketplace): The native Steam Marketplace operated by Valve, which charges a 5% fee on peer-to-peer skin trades. Tradeit explicitly positions itself as a lower-fee alternative to this incumbent platform.
