Rust skins traded with payment held in escrow until the item reaches your inventory. Rust has no float value, no StatTrak, no Souvenir quality and no inspect link, which makes a Rust listing a shorter document than a Counter-Strike one and the checks you run before buying genuinely different.

Nothing matches that search
Rust listings carry no float or pattern to narrow on, so price and search are the two filters that bite. Widen one of them, or start from the whole board.
Rust skins carry none of the per-item attributes that Counter-Strike skins do. There is no float value, no paint seed, no StatTrak counter, no Souvenir quality and no inspect link to read any of it from. A Rust skin is a workshop finish applied to an item, and two copies of the same finish are the same object.
Rust also has no quality tiers. That is why the rarity field is empty on every Rust row in our catalog: there is nothing to fetch, rather than a sync that failed. The float, wear, pattern and StatTrak filters do not appear on this page at all, because a filter whose values do not exist is worse than no filter.
What that leaves is a market priced on the finish itself, on how the item looks in game and on how scarce that particular workshop skin has become. It is a simpler market to read than Counter-Strike, and correspondingly one where a screenshot tells you almost everything the listing can.

The Rust catalog holds 102 rows, and they carry a name and nothing else. Images and rarity are empty. This is the honest ceiling of the free data sources rather than an unfinished import, and it is worth explaining rather than hiding.
Rarity is empty because Rust does not grade its items. Images are empty because Steam's market render endpoint returns ten rows per page no matter what count you ask for, and against roughly 5,453 Rust items that is around 546 requests. That is a scrape rather than a sync, and Steam answers a scrape with a multi-hour ban on the requesting address. We would rather ship a catalog that says what it does not know.
The Counter-Strike catalog is unaffected by any of this and holds 31,816 rows with a full image and rarity on every one.
When you buy a skin here your payment is held by PlayerSells rather than forwarded to the seller. The seller then has 6 hours to send the Steam trade offer. If the trade does not land inside that window the order cancels itself and you are refunded in full, automatically, without opening a dispute.
Six hours rather than a day is a deliberate choice. Your money is held for the whole of it, and a seller who is not at a keyboard within six hours will not be within twenty four either. The window exists to bound your exposure, not to give the seller room.
After delivery the seller's money enters a 7-day clearing period before it can be withdrawn. That number is not ours. Steam's Trade Protection lets either side reverse a Counter-Strike trade for seven days after it completes, so a seller could hand over a skin, take payment, withdraw, then reverse the trade and keep both. Nothing inside our own escrow can observe that from the outside. Holding the money until Steam's reversal window has closed is the only defence that works.
| Step | Who acts | Where the money is | If it fails |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listing | Seller | Not involved | Listing is rejected or delisted |
| Purchase | Buyer | Held in escrow | Nothing is charged |
| Trade offer (6h window) | Seller | Held in escrow | Auto-cancel, buyer refunded in full |
| Delivery check | Platform | Held in escrow | Order moves to dispute |
| Confirmation | Buyer | Held in escrow | Order moves to dispute |
| Clearing (7 days) | Platform | Credited to seller, not withdrawable | Reversal is caught before payout |
| Payout | Seller | Withdrawable | Standard withdrawal flow |
Selling an item costs 5% of the sale price, with a floor of $0.10 and a cap of $500. Listing is free, and withdrawing your balance costs a flat $1.50 regardless of the amount.
The item commission is a separate fee from the one on account sales, and the reason is arithmetic. The account escrow fee carries a $2.50 minimum, which is sane on a $300 account and absurd on a $5 skin, where it would take half the sale. Competing skin marketplaces charge roughly 2% to 6%, so item sales got their own rate and their own bounds rather than inheriting a number built for a different product.
| Fee | Amount | Paid by |
|---|---|---|
| Listing | Free | Nobody |
| Sale commission | 5%, minimum $0.10, maximum $500 | Seller |
| Withdrawal | $1.50 flat | Seller |
| Buyer fee | None | Nobody |
Yes. Rust was added to the item marketplace alongside Counter-Strike 2, and Rust trades run through the same escrow: your payment is held until the item reaches your inventory, the seller has 6 hours to send the trade, and a missed window refunds you in full automatically. The seller's money then clears for 7 days before it can be withdrawn.
No. Float is a Counter-Strike concept. A Rust skin is a workshop finish applied to an item with no per-item wear number, no paint seed and no pattern index, so two copies of the same Rust skin are genuinely the same object. That is why the float and pattern filters that appear on the Counter-Strike feed are hidden here rather than shown with empty values.
Because Rust does not have rarity tiers. Counter-Strike grades its skins from Consumer Grade through Covert and Contraband, and that grade is part of how the market prices them. Rust grades nothing, so our catalog stores rarity as empty for every Rust row. An empty rarity on a Rust item is a correct statement about the game rather than missing data on our side.
Because the free source that carries Rust item names does not carry their images, and the endpoint that does returns ten rows per page regardless of the count requested. Against roughly 5,453 Rust items that is around 546 requests, which is a scrape rather than a sync and gets the requesting address banned for hours. Rather than fake an image, the catalog records that it does not have one.
As a normal Steam trade offer from the seller, inside a 6-hour window that starts when you pay. Delivery is checked against your inventory before the order can complete. If the seller misses the window the order cancels and you are refunded in full, automatically, without you needing to open a dispute.
Fewer things than on a Counter-Strike skin, which is the point. Confirm the exact item name matches the workshop skin you want, since Rust names repeat across item types, and check the seller can trade right now rather than after a Steam hold expires. There is no float, seed or sticker set to verify, so the item name plus a current screenshot is close to the complete picture.
