Don't want to wait for a buyer? Here the site buys the skin itself and quotes a price right away:
What to pick
CS.Deals
The lowest published fee: 2%. Compare the price of your item: demand differs between sites.
DMarket
A trade costs 2%, a direct deal with a buyer 4%. The direct deal needs your Steam API key.
Avan.Market or LIS-SKINS
The site buys the skin itself and quotes the price up front, so you do not wait for a buyer. The price is usually below market, so compare it. Avan.Market has no hold for Rust; LIS-SKINS says in its FAQ that payment arrives after 7 days.
Tradeit or SkinsMonkey
A bot trade is quick, but the price already includes a markup. Look at the total, not at promises of low fees.
Steam Community Market
The highest fee, but no third-party sites. The money stays inside Steam.

How we compare and where the figures come from
We take the figures from the sites' own pages and link the source next to them. The exception is Steam: we could not read its fee table. If a site does not publish a figure, we say so. Tables are sorted by fee, not by who pays us. More on the about page.
