GamerPay vs Skinport: Fees Compared
GamerPay has shut down, so its old fees are moot — there is nothing live to compare. Skinport is the platform you would actually use today, and it charges 8% seller (6% over €1,000; 2% private listings). Weigh that against payout fees and liquidity rather than the headline percentage alone.
Cash-Out & Payouts Compared
GamerPay no longer processes payouts — it closed (May 29, 2026). On Skinport, cashing out works like this: Bank transfer only, 0% payout fee, mandatory KYC. Under Valve's July 2025 Trade Protection rules, expect roughly a seven-day settlement hold there before funds are free.

More Comparisons
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.
