Community Market
Buying and selling items with other players on the Community Market, the market tax, and the rules.
The Community Market is where players buy and sell items from each other.
Buying
Find an item by browsing or searching the market, then pick a listing. You can pay with Lambda Coins or with your Lambda Wallet. The item goes straight into your inventory.
To buy, you need a linked Steam account.
Selling
- Open Sell an Item and pick the item.
- Enter You Receive, the amount you want for it. The form shows Buyer Pays, which is your price plus the market tax.
- Agree to the market terms and list it.
While it's listed, the item is taken out of your inventory. You can remove the listing at any time to get it back. Listings don't expire.
When it sells, you're paid the full You Receive amount in Lambda Coins. Your listings, purchases and sold items are under My Listings, My Purchases and Sold Items.
Market tax
The buyer pays a small tax on top of the asking price. The rate is shown on the Taxes page. Tax collected pays for prize giveaways and staff rewards, so the economy grows without new money or items being created from nothing.
What you can't sell
- Content Creator items
- Items bought from the in-game store or the Lambda Store
- Exclusive or private items
- Rentals
- Unsealed cases and opened graffiti
Rules
- All purchases are final. There are no refunds or returns.
- You can't buy or sell while you're trade banned.
- You can't buy your own listing.
- When a StatTrak™ item is sold, its kill count goes back to 0.
