About Sven
Sven here. I've spent years on the wrong end of CS2 trading
Discords watching people get cleaned out, and I got tired of it. On the SkinWise
team I cover the question that actually keeps people up at night: is this
marketplace safe, and will I actually get paid?
What I care about: payout track record over slick design, real KYC and escrow
over "trust us", 2FA that works, and dispute handling you can screenshot. If a
site's owners are anonymous and support lives in a Discord DM, that's a finding,
not a footnote.
Currently watching: payout-delay reports across the mid-tier cash-out sites,
and a new wave of marketplace-clone phishing domains making the rounds.
