Will I get my money instantly?

Until recently, yes - SellYourSkins.com offered instant payouts right after the sale was confirmed.

However, due to the CS2 Trade Protection update introduced on July 16, 2025, all third-party cashout platforms (including ours) are now required to hold items for 8 days before releasing the payment.

👇 Important - you’ll see this before every sale
Before you confirm any sale, we display a clear confirmation modal on the screen (it pops up after you click “Sell skins now”). That modal explains the 8-day Trade Protection hold and how payouts are handled. To continue you must actively confirm that you understand and agree to the delayed payout by checking the consent checkbox in that modal. No user can complete a sale without reading and accepting this notice.

This means your funds will be automatically sent 8 days after you accept the offer - no need to do anything else. The countdown starts the moment you confirm the trade.

💡 Once the hold period ends, the payout will be processed immediately at 9:00 AM (European timezone) on the 8th day after accepting the offer.

Even though you no longer receive your money instantly, we guarantee that you’ll receive the exact amount shown at the time of accepting the offer, no matter if the market value of the skin drops during the 8-day holding period. Your sale remains 100% safe, easy, and guaranteed.

This new policy was introduced by Valve to reduce fraud and abuse and it applies to all cashout sites, not just ours.

We know this is a change from how things worked before, but we’re doing everything we can to make the process smooth and transparent. 🙌
