How to top up your account via Pay By Skins
Go to the top-up section — click the “Add Funds” button in the My Account tab
Select the Pay By Skins method
Select the skins from your Steam inventory that you want to transfer
Check the breakdown of the amount—how much you’ll receive immediately and how much after 8 days
Confirm and accept the trade offer on Steam
The balance appears in your account within a few seconds after accepting the offer
Which skins are accepted
Not all skins can be transferred. The minimum value of a single skin is $0.15. Skins below this value, as well as skins with volatile or speculative prices, are automatically filtered out—you won’t be able to select them.
Payout Schedule — Immediately and After 8 Days
Steam has a built-in transaction protection system that allows you to reverse a trade within 7 days. For this reason, a portion of the funds may be held and will not be paid out until 8 days after the skins are transferred.
You always see the payment breakdown before confirming the transaction—exactly how much you’ll receive immediately and how much after 8 days.
Instant Deposit — Unlock Funds Early
Don’t want to wait 8 days for the held amount? You can unlock it immediately by topping up your account using another payment method for an amount equal to or greater than the held amount.
You’ll find the blocked amount and the amount required to unblock it via Instant Deposit in the “Pay By Skins” tab under the top-up section.
