What the numbers don't cover
Everything above is sticker price. It says nothing about ShadowPay's fees, which come off what you actually receive when selling and vary by payout method — and we don't publish fee figures because we haven't verified them and a stale one would mislead more people than it helps.
Unlike Steam, ShadowPay can pay out to methods you can actually spend elsewhere, which is the reason to use it — and the reason to read its fee and withdrawal terms before you commit rather than after.
Check the exact skin before you buy. A market that's cheapest 20.3% of the time is still dearer on most individual skins, and the spread on any one skin can be far larger than the averages here suggest.

- our own cross-market price snapshot — 3,933 skins priced on ShadowPay and compared against every other market we track.
- What we haven't tested.
- fees, payout speed, withdrawal limits, support or account security. We have not bought or sold through ShadowPay ourselves, so nothing here is a verdict on what using it is like.
- How we make money.
- Some outbound links carry a referral code and may earn us a commission at no cost to you. It does not affect the order — that is computed from the data and the method is published on the page, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
