Market hub / practical guide

War of Genesis Steam Market Guide

Understand tradable-item checks, buyer price versus seller proceeds, Steam and publisher fees, and the safest next step before listing.

Use the market as a progression decision, not a promise of profit. Confirm that a specific item is marketable, compare its value to your build, and review the final Steam confirmation before listing.

Use tradability, rarity, demand signals, usefulness, and progression cost to decide what deserves a manual check.

How to Sell Items

Follow a bounded listing checklist and verify every final value in Steam.

Understand the math

Steam Market Fees

See why the two fee components are calculated separately in integer cents.

Check eligibility in the current Steam interface

Market participation is item-specific. Treat the sell action and the confirmation details shown for that item as the current source of truth. An item type appearing on the market does not prove that every copy you hold is eligible.

Understand the two price views

Buyer pays is the total shown to the purchaser. Seller receives is the Steam Wallet amount left after the independently calculated Steam and War of Genesis publisher fee components.

Because each component has its own minimum and flooring step, exact listing math is stepwise. A shortcut such as dividing by a combined percentage can produce the wrong cent value.

Use a deliberate selling flow

  1. Confirm the exact item is eligible to list.
  2. Compare the item's progression and replacement value with your current goal.
  3. Check current market information manually in Steam; this wiki does not supply live prices.
  4. Estimate the fee split with the calculator.
  5. Verify every amount in Steam's confirmation dialog before listing.

Know the boundary of the estimate

The calculator is USD-only and reflects the fee policy verified on September 15, 2026. Steam can change fees, minimums, currency rules, rounding, and listing limits. Steam Wallet funds are not withdrawable cash, and neither this guide nor the calculator is financial or investment advice.

Connect the market decision to progression

If keeping an item could strengthen your goal, revisit the Gear Value guide, Farming Guide, and Builds hub before treating the buyer-facing price as the only signal.
