Platform Review P2P Marketplace
Aim.market
Kyrgyz-registered marketplace (LLC NOVAPAY, Bishkek) selling CS2 skins for real money to bank cards, SBP or cryptocurrency, aimed squarely at the RU/CIS market. Two things disqualify it from a recommendation. Trustpilot has removed its rating for a guidelines breach and states it deleted a number of fake reviews — while Aim.market's own FAQ still points users to that same profile as evidence it can be trusted. And its headline promise of instant payouts is contradicted by its own FAQ, which states payouts are made seven days after the trade, once Steam's Trade Protection period expires.

What is Aim.market?
Aim.market is a Kyrgyz-registered marketplace — LLC NOVAPAY, Bishkek — selling CS2 skins for real money into bank cards, Russia's SBP instant-payment system, or cryptocurrency. Its orientation is unmistakably RU/CIS: the payment logos are MIR and SBP, the sibling Steam top-up product serves "Russia, Ukraine and CIS countries" only, and its live chat opens in Russian.
It does some things properly. It publishes how its prices are calculated — Steam price history over several windows, prices on other sites, and item liquidity — which is more methodological transparency than most competitors offer. It names its legal entity, registration number and tax number in full.
But two findings sit between it and any recommendation, and both come from the operator's own material rather than from anyone else's opinion.
Aim.market fees explained
Aim.market publishes no commission percentage. Asked directly in its own FAQ — "Do you take a commission?" — the answer is that it "depends on the chosen payout or replenishment option" and that "all percentages are visible before the sale or purchase process begins". The percentages themselves appear only once you have signed in with Steam.
The homepage promises "minimal fees", and the terms of service contain no figure at all. So there is no number to record and no way to compare Aim.market on price against a platform that publishes one. We list it with no seller fee rather than guessing at one.
A separate Steam wallet top-up product does show a live commission line, but that prices a different transaction entirely and should not be read as the skin-selling fee.
Payments & cash-out on Aim.market
The payout side is genuinely real, and better documented than the fee side. Aim.market names bank cards, SBP, cryptocurrency and platform balance as withdrawal options, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and TRON listed specifically and Visa, Mastercard and MIR shown as card rails. That is a proper cash-out, not store credit.
The timing, though, is where the marketing and the documentation part company. The homepage advertises instant payouts and says "real money will be in your account within minutes", and the homepage FAQ claims you can "immediately withdraw your funds". The FAQ page says something different: "Since Steam introduced new trading rules called 'Trade Protection,' payouts are made 7 days after the trade is completed — once the Steam protection period has expired." Seven days is the honest figure; the "within minutes" refers only to the transfer itself once the wait is over.
Money you deposit is not the same as money you earn. The terms state that "funds credited to the User's balance by any method other than the sale of items are considered virtual currency and cannot be exchanged for real money." And if a purchase is reversed through Steam's Trade Protection system, the terms say the funds paid "are not subject to refund".
Pros
- Real money out — cards, SBP, BTC, ETH, USDT and TRON are all named
- Publishes its pricing methodology, which most competitors do not
- Names its legal entity, registration and tax numbers
Cons
- Trustpilot removed its rating for a guidelines breach and deleted fake reviews — and the site still cites that profile as proof it is trustworthy
- Publishes no commission percentage; fees appear only after you sign in
- "Instant payouts" marketing contradicts its own FAQ, which states a 7-day hold
- Deposited funds are "virtual currency and cannot be exchanged for real money"
- Terms allow cancelling any transaction "at any time without explanation", and no refund if Trade Protection reverses a purchase
- Registered in Kyrgyzstan, but its Trustpilot profile lists a Cyprus address
Who Aim.market is for
- RU/CIS traders, for whom SBP and MIR support is genuinely hard to find elsewhere
- Sellers who want a crypto payout alongside conventional card rails
Who should skip it
- You weigh independent reviews, since Trustpilot removed this company's rating for a guidelines breach
- You want to know the commission before selling — it is only shown after you sign in
- You believed the instant-payout marketing: the operator's own FAQ states a 7-day hold
The Verdict
The disqualifying finding is not the opacity, which several platforms on this page share. It is that Trustpilot has removed Aim.market's rating for a breach of its guidelines and states that it deleted a number of fake reviews for the company — and that Aim.market's own FAQ still directs users to that exact profile as evidence it can be trusted. A platform citing, as proof of its integrity, a page that carries a fake-review notice is telling you something about how it handles evidence.
Set alongside a headline promise of instant payouts that its own FAQ contradicts with a seven-day hold, and a commission it will not state until you are signed in, there is not enough here to recommend it over platforms that publish their terms and have intact ratings. If you need SBP or MIR specifically, go in knowing all three of those things.

Aim.market FAQ
- What commission does Aim.market charge?
- It does not publish one. Its FAQ says the commission "depends on the chosen payout or replenishment option" and that percentages are shown before the sale begins — which in practice means after you have signed in with Steam.
- Why does Aim.market have no Trustpilot score?
- Trustpilot has suppressed it. The profile states the rating is unavailable due to a breach of Trustpilot's guidelines, and a second notice says Trustpilot removed a number of fake reviews for the company. 935 reviews remain visible without an overall score.
- Are Aim.market's payouts really instant?
- No. Its own FAQ states payouts are made seven days after the trade completes, once Steam's Trade Protection period expires. The "within minutes" figure in its marketing applies only to the transfer itself after that week has passed.
- How can I get paid on Aim.market?
- Bank card, SBP, or cryptocurrency including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and TRON. Note that money you deposit is treated as virtual currency under the terms and cannot be converted back into real money — only sale proceeds can.
- Who operates Aim.market?
- LLC NOVAPAY, at 62 Kievskaya Street, Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, with published registration and tax numbers. Its Trustpilot profile lists a Limassol, Cyprus address instead, which the company does not explain.

How we compare trading sites
- Fees are read from the operator, not estimated.Every fee in the table comes from the platform’s own pricing or terms page. Where a site prices by spread rather than a stated percentage, we say so instead of inventing a number.
- Trustpilot scores are dated. Each one carries the day it was read, because a score quoted without a date is a claim about a moving number.
- We publish cash-out reality, not just the fee. The headline percentage matters less than whether you can get actual money out, how long it takes, and whether KYC is required — which is where most complaints in this category come from.
- Shut-down platforms keep their page. We do not quietly delete a marketplace that failed. Those pages stay as a record of what happened, because that is the most useful thing anyone can know about them.
- We earn commission on some links. Where a platform runs an affiliate programme and we are in it, our outbound links are affiliate links. It costs you nothing extra, and it is why the fee data is sourced and the negatives are published.
Staying safe when you trade skins
Fees are the thing people compare and theft is the thing that actually costs them. Almost every inventory lost in CS2 trading goes the same handful of ways, and none of them involve the marketplace itself being hacked.
- Never give anyone your Steam API key. A stolen API key lets an attacker silently cancel your real trade offers and substitute their own, so you confirm a trade that no longer goes where you think. Check your API key page and revoke any key you did not create yourself. No legitimate marketplace needs it.
- Read the trade confirmation, not the website. The Steam mobile confirmation is the only screen that tells the truth about what you are sending and to whom. Check the items and the recipient there every time, however trustworthy the site looked.
- Support will never DM you first.Impersonated “support” accounts on Steam and Discord are the most common approach in this category. Real support happens on the site you logged into, never in an unsolicited message.
- Check the domain before you sign in. Phishing sites clone marketplaces exactly and differ only in the URL. Type it yourself or use a bookmark; never sign in from a link someone sent you.
- Valve will not help you afterwards. Trades are final, Steam Support does not reverse them or restore items lost to a scam, and third-party sites are outside its remit entirely. Prevention is the whole of the cure here.
