Your own wallet

Short answer

The short answer

Sell your skins for crypto and we send it to your own wallet right after you accept the trade, usually within minutes. Keep it, spend it or sell it on an exchange for money in your bank. If you do not want a wallet, take TF2 keys and sell them when you need the money.

How to cashout Rust skins

  1. See what your skins pay

    Sign in with Steam. You get a price for every skin, and looking is free.

  2. Pick a payout

    Choose a coin and network, or TF2 keys. The sell page shows the fee and the final amount.

  3. Accept one trade

    The offer shows your security code. Nothing leaves your inventory until you accept.

  4. Get paid

    Keys come in the same trade. Crypto goes to your wallet right after you accept.

Your three options

There are three common ways to get value out of Rust skins.

  • Steam Market: easy, but the money stays in your Steam Wallet and Steam keeps about 15%
  • Selling to other players: can pay more, but it is slow and scams are common
  • Instant sell on tf2.gg: a fixed price, one trade and money you can move

From crypto to your bank

We send crypto to a wallet address you give us. That can be your own wallet or a deposit address on an exchange.

To get money in your bank, send the coins to an exchange, sell them for your currency and withdraw. USDT and USDC are the easiest, because they stay close to one dollar.

Rust payouts go out right after the trade, so the coins can reach your exchange within the hour.

Why TF2 keys are a smart way out

No wallet? Take TF2 keys for your skins. A key works almost like cash on Steam:

  • 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

Stay safe

Most losses come from fake offers and fake sites, not from the trade itself.

  • Only accept offers that show the security code from your order
  • Never send items first to someone who promises to pay later
  • Check the address bar every time you sign in with Steam
  • Be careful with PayPal from strangers: a buyer can reverse it after you send the items

Questions

Can I cashout Rust skins to my bank?

Yes, in two steps. We pay crypto, and an exchange turns it into money in your bank.

How long does it take?

We pay right after the trade. Moving the coins from an exchange to your bank usually takes a day or two.

Which coin is best for a beginner?

USDT or USDC on a low fee network. They stay close to one dollar, so the amount does not move while you send it.

Do you pay PayPal?

No. We pay crypto and TF2 keys. Our PayPal guide shows how to get there from crypto.

Can I sell with a trade hold?

No. Accounts with a Steam trade hold cannot sell. Use the Steam Mobile Authenticator for 7 days and the hold goes away.

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.
