Frequently asked questions

Most common questions

Quick answers. For a step-by-step of each feature, see the help center.

Account and security

Is Rentskins safe?

The item goes directly from the seller's inventory to yours, through Steam's trade system. Rentskins holds your money during the deal, and the seller only gets paid after Steam ends the trade protection, about 8 days later. If the seller doesn't deliver, the money goes back to you.

Do you ask for my Steam password?

Not on the website. Login happens on Steam's official page and Rentskins never sees your password. In the app, you sign in with Steam to enable accepting trades on the website; the resulting session is stored encrypted and is only used for Rentskins trades. Be wary of anyone or any site asking for your password or Steam Guard codes on our behalf.

Why do I need to provide my ID number, phone and email?

To confirm the account belongs to a real adult, prevent duplicate accounts and fraud, and identify you in payments. A verified email and phone are required to withdraw. This data is never shown to other users.

How to create your account →
Can minors use Rentskins?

No. The platform is for people 18 and older only, and each ID can have only one account.

Why can't I send my WhatsApp to the seller?

To protect you. Outside Rentskins nobody guarantees payment or delivery, and that's where most scams happen. That's why phone numbers, emails, links and social media are blocked in offers, declines and orders. Arranging a deal outside the platform is prohibited by the Terms of Use.

How do I delete my account?

Follow the steps on the account deletion page. Ongoing transactions are completed first, and some records are kept for the period required by law.

Account deletion →
Why was my account frozen?

The most common reasons are a card payment dispute with the bank or a top-up blocked by the payment anti-fraud system. The account stays frozen until the team reviews the case. Write to contato@rentskins.com.br to clarify.

Purchases and payments

What are the payment methods?

PIX, credit card and cryptocurrency. The minimum deposit is R$ 20.00 (R$ 3.00 in crypto). Currently PIX has a 0% fee and card 5%; each method's fee shows up before you confirm. Balance added by card can be used for purchases and plans, but can't be withdrawn.

How to add balance →
How long until I get the item?

The seller has up to 48 hours to send the trade offer, but most send it much sooner. If the deadline passes with no delivery, the purchase is canceled automatically and you get the full amount back.

How to buy →
Can I cancel a purchase?

While the seller hasn't sent the offer, you can cancel 12 hours after the purchase and get 100% back. After the offer has been sent, declining or canceling the trade costs 4% of the amount, and you get the rest back.

Cancellation table →
I bought something and regret it. What now?

Before accepting the offer, you can still decline (with the cancellation fee). Once accepted, the trade is completed on Steam and can't be undone by Rentskins. In that case, you can list the item again on the platform.

How to list →
Can I buy a skin for someone else?

Yes, with a gift purchase. You enter the trade link of the person receiving it and confirm with a code sent to your phone. In this mode the seller has 12 hours to send.

Can I pay less than the listed price?

On items with the “Offer” button, yes. You offer between 60% and 99% of the price and negotiate with the seller in up to 6 rounds.

How to make an offer →
I couldn't find the skin I wanted. Can I order it?

Yes. In an order you describe the item and how much you're willing to pay, and resellers send offers with real items for you to choose from.

How to order →

Steam trades

Do I need Steam Guard Mobile?

Yes. Without Steam Guard Mobile active for a few days, Steam holds your account's trades, and the offer can't be delivered in time. Turn it on in the Steam mobile app.

Can I accept the trade without opening Steam?

Yes. Sign in once with your Steam account in the Rentskins app and the “Accept offer” button starts working right on the website. If the session expires, just sign in to the app again. Accepting on Steam still works.

What is trade protection (trade protect)?

It's a period of about 8 days during which Steam allows a completed trade to be reversed. That's why the sale amount is only released to the seller when it ends. For the buyer, the item is in the inventory from the moment they accept.

Sales and withdrawals

How much does it cost to sell?

Listing is free. On a sale, the standard fee is 2% of the amount. Resellers pay their plan's fee, which can be lower or zero.

I sold something. When does the money reach my balance?

When Steam's trade protection ends, about 8 days after the buyer accepted the offer. Until then, the amount shows up as pending.

How long do I have to deliver what I sold?

48 hours from the purchase (12 hours for gift purchases). After the deadline, the sale is canceled, the buyer gets everything back and the failure counts against your store's reputation.

How to deliver →
How does instant sale work?

Rentskins buys your item right away, without waiting for a buyer. The amount shows up before you confirm. Items under R$ 20.00 aren't eligible, and the amount is also released after the trade protection.

How to sell instantly →
How do I withdraw my balance?

Via PIX (minimum of R$ 20.00) or in USDT (minimum of R$ 50.00, plus a US$ 0.30 network fee). The standard withdrawal fee is 3%. You need a verified email and phone, and requests are answered within 24 hours.

How to withdraw →
Can I withdraw the balance I added with a credit card?

No. Card balance can be used for purchases and plans. You can withdraw your sales balance and what came in via PIX or cryptocurrency. If you want unused card balance back, ask at contato@rentskins.com.br: it's refunded to the card itself.

Terms of Use →

Resellers and plans

What do I get as a reseller?

Lower or zero sales fees, a store with a custom link and banner, a dashboard with store statistics and, depending on the plan, access to orders and other features. The full comparison is on the plans page.

See the plans →
How do I cancel my plan? Do I get a refund?

On the plans page. In the first 7 days you can withdraw: the plan ends immediately and the amount paid is refunded, minus 2% of the sales made with zero fees and R$ 2.00 per free boost used. If you paid by card, the refund goes to the card. After that period, canceling keeps the plan until the end of the paid period, with no refund.

Plan rules →
What makes up a store's reputation?

The store's own numbers: Success Rate (completed sales), Response Rate, Average Delivery, sales made and unique buyers, plus the rating and testimonials from buyers. Deliveries that fail due to the seller lower the Success Rate.
