Understanding CS2 Trading Profit
When selling on Steam Market, remember that 15% of the sale price goes to fees. For a profitable trade, you need to sell for at least 18% more than what you paid (to offset the 15% fee and still make profit). For example, an item bought for $10 needs to sell for $11.77 just to break even.

Tips for Profitable CS2 Trading
Buy Low During Sales
Major Steam sales and CS2 events often cause temporary price drops. Buy during these dips for better margins.
Consider Third-Party Markets
Buff163 and other marketplaces have lower fees (2-5%), meaning you keep more profit on each sale.
Account for Trade Holds
Items are trade-locked for 7 days. Factor in potential price changes during this period.
