  • 1–2.8% Deposit Fee
  • 1–2% Withdrawal Fee

Introduction

Waxpeer is a peer-to-peer marketplace for CS2, Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2, operated by Peer Software Limited and registered in the Marshall Islands — the least conventional corporate jurisdiction of any marketplace in this comparison.

How the market works

Waxpeer describes itself as a worldwide marketplace built on a player-to-player system: items move directly from one Steam account to another rather than through platform-held inventory. A browser extension handles auto-accepting trades, which is what makes the model workable at volume.

Fees explained

Waxpeer charges a flat 6% seller fee — its own FAQ spells out the arithmetic directly: sell an item for $100 and $94 lands in your balance once delivery completes. Funding runs through credit card, PayPal, e-wallets or bank transfer, and payouts through a bank card or bank account, both listed in its terms. Waxpeer itself publishes no static rate for either — both are shown in-app only once you have picked a payment method — but third-party reporting puts deposits at roughly 1–2.8% and withdrawals at 1–2%, depending on the rail. No source reports a charge for buying itself, so that stands at 0%.

How to buy

Fund your balance by credit card, PayPal, e-wallet or bank transfer — the four deposit rails Waxpeer’s terms name — then buy directly from a listing. Delivery runs on the same player-to-player model as the rest of the site, so the item comes straight from the seller’s Steam account rather than a platform-held inventory.

How to sell

List an item and Waxpeer takes its flat 6% once the sale completes, the same $100-in, $94-out arithmetic its FAQ quotes. Because the marketplace is peer-to-peer, the skin transfers directly to the buyer’s Steam account, and the browser extension auto-accepts that trade so you are not left confirming it manually.

Cashing out

Waxpeer’s terms name bank card and bank account as the payout rails, and require identity verification before either is available. The terms commit only to processing times — within 24 hours on business days, up to three business days for some methods — and stop short of a published rate; third-party reporting puts the withdrawal cost at roughly 1–2%, varying by the rail you pick.

Reputation

Waxpeer is the reputational outlier here. It holds a 2.4 rating on Trustpilot — the only marketplace in this comparison in the "Poor" band — across a relatively small base of around 440 reviews. That is worth weighing against the convenience of its P2P model.

Who it's for

Suited to traders who specifically want direct peer-to-peer transfers across several Valve games and are comfortable checking the quoted commission each time.

Frequently Asked Questions

A flat 6% on sales. Waxpeer’s own FAQ spells it out with an example: sell an item for $100 and $94 lands in your balance once it delivers. Deposit and withdrawal fees are a separate matter: Waxpeer itself publishes no fixed rate for either, showing the actual figure only once you pick a payment method in-app, but third-party reporting puts deposits around 1–2.8% and withdrawals around 1–2%, varying by rail. Buying itself carries no reported charge.
