Our take
Skinport is a plain peer-to-peer market: you list, wait for a buyer and get paid by bank. DMarket does more. It has a marketplace, instant sell, bot trading, buy orders and item exchange.
Fees. Skinport takes 8% of each sale, 6% on items above about 1,000 EUR. DMarket takes 2% on most CS2 skins, up to 10% on low-priced or low-liquidity items, and 4% on Face2Face sales. Dota 2, TF2 and Rust sales on DMarket cost 5%. Neither charges buyers a fee. Check any sale price in the fee calculator.
Payouts. Skinport pays by bank transfer only, in 1 to 3 business days, with no payout fee. DMarket says it adds no withdrawal fee, but the payment provider may take a cut. It pays to PayPal, Skrill and Payoneer within 48 hours and to card, wire or SEPA within 7 working days. On DMarket only sale earnings can be withdrawn, not deposits. On Skinport the sale balance can only be paid out, not spent.
Buying. Skinport accepts PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Alipay, and shows prices in 19 currencies. DMarket accepts Visa, Mastercard and Bitcoin in USD, and card deposits need KYC.
Trust and access. Skinport GmbH is registered in Stuttgart and has traded since 2018, with a 4.8 Trustpilot score from over 35,000 reviews. DMarket Inc. is a Delaware company, owned by Mythical Games since 2023, with a 4.0 score from over 22,000 reviews. DMarket blocks users in Russia and Belarus.
Choose DMarket if you want the lowest CS2 fee, instant sell or payouts to an e-wallet. Choose Skinport if you want to list at your own price, pay with PayPal as a buyer and receive a simple bank payout. See the Skinport review and DMarket review.
