DMarket is one of the bigger CS2 marketplaces, and it suits flipping well because it has a working buy order system and an official trading API. Here is what matters if you want to trade there.
Targets are DMarket's buy orders
A target is an offer to buy an item at your price. Sellers can sell to the highest target immediately, so it fills first. One account can hold up to 100 of them. A target's price cannot be edited, so changing the price means replacing it with a new one. Our robot does that for you.
What DMarket's fees really look like
Guides often quote one number for DMarket's fee, but it depends on the item. We read DMarket's fee list for every item each hour. On 30 October 2026, across 25,767 items, the fee ran from 2% at the low end to 10% at the high end, and the median item paid 10%.
So check the fee of the exact item before you trade it. On a $100 sale, the difference between 2% and 10% is $8, which can be the whole profit.
What the spreads look like
From the same day's data, this is the typical gap between the best target and the cheapest offer on DMarket:
- Items under $1: about 83% of the target's price.
- $1 to $10: about 41%.
- $10 to $100: about 13%.
- Over $100: about 10%.
Those wide gaps are tempting, and most of them are traps. The typical item in every one of those groups sells only one or two times in a 15-day period on DMarket. A wide spread often just means nobody is trading the item.
Filter by sales first
Out of 17,974 items with both a target and an offer that day, only 3,523 sold 10 or more in a typical 15 days. About 2,843 of those would make a profit on paper after DMarket's fee, if you could buy at the top target and sell at the bottom offer. That is a far shorter list, and a far better one to start with.
Using the arbitrage tool
The arbitrage tool does this filtering for you. Buy with DMarket's targets, and compare against DMarket's offers with a coefficient that covers the fee and your margin: 1.10 keeps only the items whose cheapest offer is at least 10% over your target. It lists the most traded first, by their 15-day sales on DMarket, and every result is free.
Holding first place
Popular items attract other traders, and they will outbid you within minutes. The robot for DMarket checks every second and moves your targets and offers by a cent, inside your limits. See how to set it up and how undercutting works.
These numbers are a snapshot of one day, and prices and fees change. Trading skins can lose money, so check current figures before you commit.
