Here is the list of the possible pricing options:

• Recommended price - the suggested price, based on calculations of DMarket’s AI algorithms which ensures your offer is sold fast.
• Lowest price - the lowest price of the current active DMarket bot
• Recent average price - the average price for an item based on the last 7-day or 14-day statistics.
• -25%, -30%, -35% from Steam - the percent deducted from the Steam average price based on the last 7-day statistics.
• You can edit the "Selling price" or "You'll get" fields to set your own customized price (See Fig.6). The “You’ll get” field shows the amount you will receive on your balance when the fee is charged after the item is sold.

If you want to put several items on sale, you can set pricing for each offer separately by choosing the option from the dropdown near each of the items.

• Once the price is set, click on the “Sell” button (see Fig.7).

If an item is located in your Steam inventory, you have to deposit it to DMarket before putting it up for sale. To deposit an item, click the “Accept trade on Steam” button (see Fig.13) and confirm the trade on Steam within 10 minutes.

Important: beware of scambots. Always check the registration date of the bot while depositing an item.

After the trade is completed, your item will be deposited to DMarket and put up for sale. If an item is already deposited to DMarket, the sale will proceed without requiring to transfer of the item from Steam.

• After an item is put up for sale, you can check created offers in the “On sale” section of your inventory (see Fig.9).

Availability of Funds and Steam Trade Protection

Due to Steam Trade Protection, funds received from selling items on the marketplace may be temporarily locked on the user’s DMarket balance in the following cases: 

 *The item has active Trade Protection, which is imposed for 7-8 days after depositing an item (see Fig.10).
 

FIGURE 10

* The item was acquired by the buyer as part of an exchange (see Fig.11 and 12).
In this case, funds are locked for the longest period of the trade protection timer among items involved in the exchange.

Steam Trade Protection allows the original owner of an item to roll back a trade for a limited period. For this reason, the following conditions apply:

* Funds received from a marketplace sale remain locked until the Trade Protection timer expires.
* During this period, the funds cannot be withdrawn or used for new marketplace transactions.
