SkinWise is free to use. To keep the lights on, some of the outbound links to marketplaces are affiliate links. This page explains exactly what that means for you.
When you click a Buy link and complete a purchase on a partner marketplace, SkinWise may earn a small commission. The commission is paid by the marketplace out of its own margin — it is never added to your price. You pay exactly the same whether you arrive via SkinWise or go to the marketplace directly.
Commissions never influence how we rank prices or deals. The compare table, the "best price" badge and the deals feed are sorted purely by the live, within-variant price (same wear, StatTrak and Souvenir state) and each market's payout terms. We do not promote a market because it pays us more. If the cheapest legitimate price is on a market we earn nothing from, that market still wins the comparison.
Every outbound marketplace link opens in a new tab and carries rel="sponsored nofollow" so it is transparent to you and to search engines that the link may be commercial.
A few markets (for example Buff163 and YouPin) are shown for price context only. They are not a Western cash-out, they get no prominent Buy button, and they are not affiliate links.
