P2P trading through Steam
How CS2.trading works
CS2.trading helps players find trades, make offers, accept matches, and track the result. The item exchange still happens directly on Steam, so both traders stay in control of their own items from start to finish.
Make offers
Send your own item offer on another trader's listing and let them decide.
Complete on Steam
Use Steam to complete the actual item exchange. The site does not custody items.
Posting your own trade
A listing is your public trade request. Other traders can inspect it and send you offers.
Sign in with Steam
Use Steam sign-in so the site can connect your profile and check the CS2 inventory you choose from.
Save your Trade Link
Your Trade Link stays private until a trade is accepted. It is needed so the matched trader can open the Steam trade offer flow.
Choose what you offer
Pick one or more tradable items from your verified inventory. Item details are saved as a snapshot for the listing.
Say what you want back
Add exact items, item types, upgrade/downgrade goals, overpay preferences, or a short note.
Making offers on trades
Offers let you respond to someone else's listing with items from your own inventory.
Sign in and add your Trade Link
You need to be signed in and have a saved Trade Link before you can send an offer. It stays private unless the offer is accepted.
Open another trader's listing
Review what they are offering and what they are looking for before you send anything.
Build your offer
Select tradable inventory items and add a short message if you need to explain the offer.
Wait for a decision
The listing owner can accept or decline. You can follow accepted trades from My Trades.
Important when an offer is accepted
Accepted means matched, not finished
When a listing owner accepts an offer, CS2.trading shows the needed Trade Link only to the matched traders. From there, the two traders complete the real item exchange through Steam.
1Open the accepted trade from My Trades.
2Use the exposed Steam Trade Link to start the Steam offer.
3Carefully check every item in Steam before confirming.
4Confirm completion on CS2.trading only after the Steam trade is actually done.
Before you confirm in Steam
CS2.trading never holds your skins and never confirms Steam trades for you.
Always compare the Steam offer with the accepted listing or offer before approving it.
Check item names, wear, StatTrak, Souvenir, stickers, and total value inside Steam.
Do not mark a trade completed on the site until the item exchange is finished in Steam.
After the trade: reviews and progress
Once the trade is done, the site helps both traders close the loop and build a public trading history.
Both traders confirm completion
A trade moves forward after both sides have marked it completed on the site.
Leave a review
After completion, each trader can review the other trader for that specific trade.
Build public history
Reviews help future traders understand how reliable and responsive someone has been.
