So for a while we wanted to give an experience back to the CS community other than making it safe for them to buy and sell. We have been working on creating a 3D experience where people can inspect and flex their skins. Would love your feedback. The link is an example of one of our shops.

You are right, you could do that. It would mean some changes to your KYC flow, and probably also a few chats with the bank to stay compliant. Lowering comissions sure. I am not aware of your costbase but could be doable. Now that you are here, why do you charge so high fees? And what are your thougths about Netease looking towards the west?

Using bots as middlemen imposes other challenges. First there is a 7 day tradelock of the item. Second bots are prone for scams. Third you cannot play with your skin in the meantime

Most marketplaces fall under obscure or to expensive. And pretty much none of them have built a compliant way of onbording minors who suffer the most from scamming. So they are all 18 plus.

Yes, and that is a very low price. Knives and gloves are most sought for. We see average basket sizes being around 150 euro

For the moment you cannot sell as a US citizen. We hope to silve this in the near future
