# What is SkinsMonkey?

${color}[#666666](This article will explain what SkinsMonkey is and how it works. It includes answers for the most popular questions and redirects you to more specific instructions.)

## SkinsMonkey in a nutshell 🐒

SkinsMonkey is an online skin **trading website** where you can trade, sell, and buy Counter-Strike 2 (CS:GO) skins. It is not a marketplace, which makes quite a difference with available stock or current prices. Our site allows you to easily trade your old skins, buy new ones and sell any skins that you don’t need.

## Log in with Steam – It’s easy!

If you want to use our site, you have to **register via Steam**. We need the information about your Steam ID and your inventory to initiate the process of trading items. Do not worry, __your personal information will not be misappropriated__ and we will not share it with anyone else. You can read [our Privacy Policy here](https://skinsmonkey.com/privacy-policy).

## Don’t forget to unlock trading

We use **Steam trading option** to deliver items, so you have to unlock this option on Steam. Check if you meet all needed requirements [here](/en/article/what-do-i-need-to-be-able-to-trade-33p77l/).

## New here? We’ve got guides for that
We prepared **the detailed instructions how to use our site**. Check our basic articles: [how to trade](/en/article/how-to-trade-skins-12zn33l/), [how to buy](/en/article/how-to-buy-skins-14d8b7b/), [how to sell](/en/article/how-to-sell-skins-y6bqwq/), [how to deposit funds](/en/article/how-to-deposit-funds-on-my-skinsmonkey-balance-4tsy94/) and much more!

## Your skins are delivered by bots 🤖 (The good kind)

Delivery process includes **trading with our bots**. They are part of the __"Skins Monkey BOTS" group__, which is an easy way to tell them apart from scamming accounts. Before accepting trades, check our security instructions: information about bots [here](/en/article/how-to-distinguish-a-real-skinsmonkey-bot-from-a-fake-scam-bot-18el7o6/) and about account security [here](/en/article/how-can-i-protect-my-account-from-scammers-1352pr/).
