Short answer

The short answer

Sell your skins for USDT or USDC, send the coins to an exchange that works in your country, sell them for your currency and withdraw to your bank, or to PayPal if the exchange offers it. You can also take TF2 keys and sell them on a site that pays PayPal.

From inventory to PayPal

  1. Sell for USDT or USDC

    Your price is locked. We send the coins when Steam trade protection ends.

  2. Send them to an exchange

    Use the deposit address from your exchange and pick the same network.

  3. Sell for your currency

    Swap the coins for dollars, euros or your own currency.

  4. Withdraw

    Send the money to your bank, or to PayPal if your exchange offers it.

Why crypto first

Crypto goes straight to your own wallet and nobody can freeze or reverse it. From there you decide where it goes, and exchanges work in most countries.

CS2 payouts go out when Steam trade protection ends, so plan for 7 to 8 days before the money reaches you.

The TF2 key route

TF2 keys are one of the easiest items to sell for PayPal, because every buyer knows what they are worth. If you go this way, use a known site and read its reviews first.

  • Steam Wallet funds: list them on the Steam Market and they usually sell fast
  • Real money: sell them for crypto on tf2.gg any time, or for PayPal and other payments on trading sites
  • Stable price: a key moves by cents, not dollars, so it holds value better than skins
  • Easy to sell: every trader knows what a key is worth, so you never wait long for a buyer
  • No new wait: keys have no Steam trade protection, so you can sell them the moment you get them
  • No network fee: you get exactly the keys you see

What to avoid

PayPal deals with strangers are where most traders get burned.

  • Buyers who ask you to send items first
  • Payments that can be reversed: a buyer can open a dispute after you send the items
  • Fake PayPal emails: always check your real balance in the app
  • Anyone who contacts you first on Steam with a great offer

Questions

Do you pay PayPal?

No. We pay crypto and TF2 keys. This guide shows the way from there to PayPal.

Which coin should I pick?

USDT or USDC. They stay close to one dollar, and almost every exchange takes them.

Can every exchange pay out to PayPal?

No. It depends on the exchange and your country. A bank withdrawal is the safe default.

Is it safe to sell to someone for PayPal?

It is risky, because a payment can be reversed after you send the items. Use a known site instead.

Is it safe?

You sign in on the official Steam page, so we never see your password. Our bot sends the trade offer with a security code, and nothing leaves your inventory until you accept it in Steam.
