How Instant Sell works
The end-to-end flow when you sell a skin to Skincash.
Instant Sell is a one-sided trade: you send us your item, we pay you for it immediately. There is no auction, no waiting for a buyer, and the price you see is the price you get.
The flow
- 1You pick items and proceed to sell.
- 2Skincash assigns one of its bot accounts and sends a Steam trade offer containing your items.
- 3You accept the offer in Steam (or via the Steam mobile app).
- 4The moment the bot receives the items, the sale amount lands in your Pending balance.
- 5After the 8-day Steam Trade Protection hold, the amount moves to Available and is ready to cash out.
Why the 8-day hold
Valve introduced a 7-day window where any sender can unilaterally reverse a trade. If somebody whose account got compromised sent us skins and then reversed the trade, Skincash would be holding a paid balance for items we no longer have. To stay solvent, we mirror Valve's hold with a one-day buffer on our side before crediting the Available balance.
The hold does not reduce what you receive — it only delays when you can withdraw. There is no penalty or fee for waiting out the 8 days.
