BitSkins review

BitSkins is a platform for skin trading created by a group of “veterans from the gaming and payments industries.” Its office is registered in San Francisco, CA. Their CEO’s name is Atif Nazir. (the information is taken from their website).

Buying a skin is pretty simple. All that’s required is to click on the ‘add to cart’ button and then checkout. Though you’ll need to sign in with a verified STEAM account. Plus any skins you will be deposited to that account. The company charges a 5% fee off every sale. Though higher tier accounts are subject to lower fee since the company encourages bulk sellers.

Tech support

The website has a FAQ section and an option to send a question about your issue. We received an answer on our question 9 hours later, and the answer, actually, wasn’t helpful. The support service leaves something to be desired.

Should you trust BitSkins?

The company states that they are legally registered in the state of California and provides its address. They also offer founder’s contact info in case you have concerns about their legitimacy.

Bonuses and Promotions

The platform has a bonus for users who found bugs on the website. As the website states “Bug bounty eligibility is decided by us alone.”. Accordingly, the service decides by itself how a user should be awarded.

How to trade

The trading process is simple. Just pick one of two types of trade (regular and bulk) and put the price on your items. The website also suggests a list of items which are predicted to sell under 30 seconds in their “Sell Instantly” tab. There is one more option for making a sale right on Steam – you can find instructions to this method in “Sell Items (Quick List)” tab.

The process

1. Go to the “Sales” tab on the top of the screen;
2. Chose the type of sale you wish to create (single or multiple);
3. Pick a price and push “Add to List” button;
4. Wait until the bot will list your item.
