3% commission pls, :D

 

Even the leading CS:GO escrow sellers charge a 5% commission - and make you pay for the 2% PayPal fee when you request a payout. There are costs (including chargeback risk) involved, you know.

 

I'm not saying Geel isn't making money here, but services come at a cost.

Yeah, personally I'm fine with the 10% commission, mainly because items are kind of inflated on marketplace. Often there are items in which the money you receive after the commission is more than enough to purchase keys to replace the item so it's essentially another [potential] profit method.

 

I think buyers are fine with paying more due to the convenience and safety as well as the fact that most of the time, technically it's still 'cheaper than the steam market' (those ads though   :P).

 

Edit: Also as Cares mentioned, services comes at a cost. Really can't deny that marketplace is a godsend to me since it's so awesome to be able to cash out without any risk (going into uni soon so some money would be useful now lol). I can avoid paypal scams this way while still cashing out keys at $1.85 (which is more than I expected to get from paypal trading). So seriously, THANK YOU GEEL

Where's the "Takes three years to sell my unusual" option

 

this. Not enough people buy from marketplace.tf. Everyone wants to sell their items for cash but nobody wants to buy unless there is some mega discount.

I don't really see how this is a problem with Marketplace.tf. It's hard to get people to buy your unusuals for pure, let alone cash.

I mean your right, it's not really marketplace.tf's fault. Although maybe a good idea to increase sales volume would be to offer a lower commission rate for people will to discount their items.

I use it all the time for small items and my key source since you guys have amazing key prices ;). Also, big traders ignore my adds to buy their keys, so I am taking my business elsewhere. Kinda salty actually, added one big trade four times, the one that gets impersonated a lot, and they didn't add me back.

Being unable to list items on BP.tf classifieds while they are in a bot. (Unless this was added recently)

Agreed.

 

And I dislike that you can't view item histories on all items on there. Unusuals aren't the only items that people want to look at the history off.

Don't you advertise this site enough? Hell, you even have Ankel Dayn doing it. I guess getting a % of everything is addicting, espcially with sweetstakes down

At least while using classifieds, your items are advertised and very visible (especially when you have premium)

 

In marketplace your unusuals tend to get lost in the endless sea of other unusuals

Put your unusual at $20,000 and it will always be at the top.
