CS
We at Skinwallet believe that selling CSGO skins shouldn’t be difficult or time-consuming. On Skinwallet, you can get instant cash in less than 3 minutes on your CSGO Skins.
Follow the below steps on how to sell your CSGO skins for Paypal. But first, let’s address certain topics that we feel are relevant to the topic.
What value do CSGO skins have?
There is a number of different factors that have an impact on the value of each individual skin. First, the rarity of skins. There are 6 rarity levels of weapon skins that are color coded.
Consumer Grade (White)
These are very common skins that are rather easy to drop through normal play. Common weapon skins usually cost just a few cents, but there are some exceptions like FAMAS | Contrast Spray (FN) or SSG 08 | Sand Dune (FN) that reach as high as $20 at times. Other than a few exceptions they are good for Trade Up contracts.
Industrial Grade (Light blue)
Slightly rarer than Consumer Grade skins but still pretty common. More expensive skins from this category like Galil AR | Winter Forest (FN) can reach up to $50.
Mil-Spec (Blue)
These are the rare skins that you can still acquire quite easily from cases but they hold their prices quite well. Easy to obtain through Trade Up contracts. A good example of this category is AUG | Hot Rod (FN) priced around a stable $125.
Restricted (Purple)
Restricted skins are considerably hard to get and can reach quite high prices, with Glock-18 | Fade being one of the most pricy and liked skin. Usually, prices for Glock-18 | Fade start around $250 and go up.
Classified (Legendary)
These skins are very rare, which means some of them are very expensive. A Factory New SCAR-20 | Splash jam easily goes for $500 or more.
Covert (Red)
The pinnacle of weapon skins. If you got one and need a lot of money at once, you could pay your bills for a month by selling one of those on the more expensive end of the price spectrum. The best example is AWP | Dragon Lore that can go for $1500.
Another factor that influences the value of the skin is its external quality, aka. wear level. It is a float number randomly prescribed to a newly dropped, received or uncased skin from 0 to 1 which indicates how “destroyed” the skin is under simulated wear and tear. This number can be placed in one of five categories:
- Factory New (0.00 – 0.07)
- Minimal Wear (0.07 – 0.15)
- Field-Tested (0.15 – 0.38)
- Well-Worn (0.38 – 0.45)
- Battle-Scarred (0.45 – 1.00)
The wear cannot be changed, nor the skin can degrade with time or usage. When it comes to exterior rarity, it is based on a bell curve with Battle-Scarred and Factory New being the rarest versions. Moreover, some particular skins don’t have every exterior quality level.
The last of the main factors is the version of the skin. There are two main special versions that have a huge impact on price: StatTrak and Souvenir. StatTrak tech weapon skins are the skins that track your total kill count with that weapon. Souvenir skins are received through souvenir packages which in turn can be acquired only during CSGO Majors. Both versions can multiply the price by tenfold in case of cheaper, yet still popular skins.
Can you still sell CSGO skins for PayPal?
We see this question a lot, especially from people new to skin trading. The short answer is: Yes, you can sell CSGO skins for Paypal money. It all depends on where you sell them. For example, if you want to sell your CSGO skins through Steam Community Market your money would be held in SteamWallet from which you cannot ever withdraw balance. So, the question should be “where to sell skins for Paypal”. Luckily, there is a number of websites and marketplaces that support skin trading and have Paypal as one of their payout options.
Using third-party sites to sell CSGO skins to Paypal
So we know we can sell the skins for Paypal. The question is, which third-party website should you choose. The easiest way to make your choice is to look for online reviews and rating portals like Trustpilot. Ask Google - surely someone before you asked others for good, legit third-party websites. However, always be careful. CSGO trading community was always plagued by scammers and scam sites. If you’re not sure that you want to enter a particular website or that you have reservations about logging in to some random site with your Steam account credentials - don’t. Likewise, always check what bot account you are trading with, because there’s always a chance its a scam bot pretending to be a legit bot of a legit site. As they say, better safe than sorry.
