Why sell on GamerPay in 2025?
Why sell on GamerPay in 2025?
GamerPay, similar to Counter-Strike in its lifespan, has seen a lot of changes and improvements during its time.
Not every user knows all of GamerPays’ features. We want to bring GamerPay once again closer to you.
In this article, we explain our entire fee structure and prices, some of our most beloved core GamerPay features, how we keep your items and your money secure, and much more.
GamerPay and its Fees
GamerPay has three types of “sales fees”, and we explain all of them right here:
Our Normal selling fee for items or trades up to €2,999.99 is 3%!
Our Premium selling fee is a reduced fee for items or trades up to €2,999.99 is 1%!
Our Elite selling fee is an even more reduced fee for items or trades up to €5,000.00 or more is 0.5%!
GamerPay makes a great assistant if you want to sell items as a middleman. For high-tier items, you only pay 0.5% in fees, and the items and your funds are protected through GamerPay! Our Normal fee for any item up to €2,999 is only 3%! This is one of the lowest fees you can find on any Counter-Strike Trading or Market site.
We hope that this explains all of GamerPay’s selling fees to you.
GamerPay’s Wallet Funds
When you purchase items using your wallet funds, no fees are applied. This makes it the most cost-effective way to shop. To load money into your wallet, you have four options: selling skins directly on GamerPay or making a deposit through one of the three available methods below.
Deposit Methods on GamerPay
Bank Transfer
Processing Time: Up to 3 business days
Fee: 1.5%
Bank transfers are reliable, but it takes a little longer for funds to arrive in your wallet. But they also offer the lowest Fee percentage on your money, so you get the best deal overall. We suggest always having some money in your GamerPay Wallet to snipe some good deals.
Crypto Deposit (via Coinify)
Processing Time: Usually quick, depending on the network
Fee: 2% (Coinify adds ~1.5% on top of the total amount)
A good choice if you prefer using cryptocurrency, but slightly higher in cost due to processing fees from our partner.
Card Deposit (VISA, Mastercard, Maestro)
Processing Time: Instant
Fee: 2.5% + €0.70
Card payments are the fastest way to top up your wallet, though they usually carry the highest fees. You can use this to instantly buy an item with your card, instead of loading up your wallet.
Withdraw your money
GamerPay allows you to withdraw your sales proceeds directly to your bank account. This gives you full flexibility to cash out your balance whenever you choose. You can also choose how much of your Wallet funds you want to withdraw; it does not have to be the full amount that you saved up in your GamerPay wallet.
Bank Withdrawal
Processing Time: Up to 3 business days
Fee: 2.5%
When you request a withdrawal, the funds are transferred securely to your bank account. While it may take a couple of business days to process, this ensures safe and reliable delivery of your money. This is usually slower on Weekends and Holidays, just as a normal Bank transfer, but this is due to the Banking system, and out of our hands. For more info on all of this, check out GamerPay pricing!
GamerPay’s New Protected Trade System
What Changed — And Why?
Steam introduced a 7-day trade reversal feature on July 16, 2025, allowing trades to be reversed even after acceptance.
GamerPay responded by implementing an 8-day protection period to safeguard buyers and sellers against these reversals.
For Buyers
Place your order and pay — funds are held securely in escrow.
Seller sends the item via a Steam trade offer.
You get 18 hours to confirm receipt on GamerPay—if you don’t respond, the system auto-confirms.
An 8-day protection window begins (covering Steam's 7-day reversal period), during which your funds remain safeguarded.
On day 8, you’re prompted to verify you still have the item. If you confirm—or don’t respond within 24 hours—the seller is paid. If there's a problem, you should start a dispute immediately.
For Sellers
Once a buyer orders, send the item via Steam.
After the buyer's confirmation (or 18 hours), the trade enters the 8-day protection phase.
On day 8, if the buyer confirms or doesn’t respond, the funds are released to you. If a dispute arises, GamerPay may ask for evidence that the correct item was sent.
Disputes & Resolutions
If a buyer reports an issue during the protection period, the trade enters manual review.
Both parties may be asked to provide evidence, often simple, such as a video recording of inventory history.
Final Takeaway
GamerPay’s updated P2P system ensures:
Buyers’ funds remain protected while they wait out Steam’s 7-day reversal window.
Sellers aren’t paid until it's safe to do so.
Disputes are handled securely, minimising risk for both sides.
Important note: Do not reverse a trade on Steam after using GamerPay—that action can lead to a permanent ban and loss of funds. Instead, trigger a dispute if anything seems off. Our team will set the trade to “manual review” and analyse what happened. Your trading experience on GamerPay will be completely protected and safeguarded by this feature.
