Instant vs Flexible sale — which should you choose?

Instant

You accept the displayed price and the trade starts right away. Best when you want speed.

Flexible

You can negotiate with our team in chat. A higher price is never guaranteed, but rare or high-value items can be worth it.

Review the complete sale first

Instant begins only when you explicitly accept the reviewed sale. Check each selected item and the total. Flexible starts a conversation where both parties review the current offer. Choosing a mode does not move skins by itself. Follow the official Steam offer from your sale and confirm its actual contents.

When an individual review is useful

Choose Flexible for items requiring team pricing, unusual patterns, very low floats or crafts you want assessed individually. You can discuss the selected items and the offer in the sale conversation. A higher offer is not automatic: the current agreed revision is the price that matters.

Receipt is different from withdrawal

After the received items are confirmed, the sale balance is credited with its applicable lock and release date. You can track the sale, balance and payout separately. Withdrawal follows the available balance and the selected payout method; accepting an offer is not confirmation that a bank or crypto payment has already been sent.

When you sell CS2 skins, the choice is between accepting a specific offer and requesting an individual review. Read about CS2 skin prices and low float to understand the offer, and check your Steam trade link before selling. After receipt, follow the balance in your wallet or buy CS2 skins from the market; accepting a sale is not itself a payout.
