Steam Multisell Guide: Sell Many Commodity Items at Once (No Extension)

Browse all Multisell games →

Summary: Multisell is Steam's own Community Market page (steamcommunity.com/market/multisell) that lists several commodity items on one screen. You open it with a link that names a game and a list of exact Market names, and it accepts commodity items only. Steam Bulk Sell builds that link from a public inventory with no browser extension, password or API key; you set prices and confirm on Steam while signed in.

Steam's normal sell dialog lists one item at a time. If you have 30 different cases, a stack of stickers and a few keys, that's a lot of clicking. Steam's Community Market also has a Multisell page that lists several items on one screen. This guide covers what it accepts, how to get a working Multisell link without installing anything, and how to sell a big inventory quickly without underpricing it.

What Multisell is

Multisell is a page on the Steam Community Market (steamcommunity.com/market/multisell). You open it with a link that names a game and a list of items, and Steam shows one row per item where you set a price and quantity. It's Steam's own page, so you sign in to Steam as usual. There's no third-party extension and no API key involved.

Which items it accepts: commodities only

Multisell only works with commodity items. Steam's Market FAQ describes a commodity as an item where "all the items are identical, and can be traded interchangeably". Typical examples are cases, crates, keys, capsules, stickers, tools and many cosmetics that have no wear or pattern. Items with individual properties (most CS2 weapon skins, for example) aren't commodities, and you still sell them one at a time.

Steam marks each item as a commodity or not, and the game's developer decides whether the game takes part in the Market at all. The simplest way to see what you can bulk sell is to load your inventory: Steam Bulk Sell only shows items that Steam has marked as marketable commodities. Our game list shows which games we've recorded commodities for.

Step by step

  1. Check your account can sell. You need a purchase older than 7 days (but not older than a year) and Steam Guard enabled for 15 days. Details: selling requirements.
  2. Make your inventory public. Steam Bulk Sell reads the public inventory, the same thing anyone visiting your profile can see (how to make it public). You can make it private again afterwards.
  3. Pick a game on the homepage and paste your Steam profile URL, custom URL name or SteamID64.
  4. Load the inventory and select items. The builder shows your commodities and how many of each you own. Use search to narrow a long list.
  5. Open the Multisell link while signed in to Steam.
  6. Price each row. Enter your price and quantity for each item. Check the item's Market page for current buy orders if you're unsure.
  7. Submit and confirm. If you use the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator, confirm the listings in the Steam Mobile App.

How to sell a big inventory quickly

These tips come from how the Market works (buy orders and fees) rather than from any shortcut:

  • Sell in batches of similar items. Cases with cases, stickers with stickers. Similar items have similar prices, so a typo stands out.
  • Clear cheap items in one sweep. Steam's transaction fee is 5% with a $0.01 minimum. Under about $0.20 the minimum takes more than 5%. Batch penny items together, or decide they aren't worth listing.
  • Price valuable items separately. One mistyped digit on a $40 key costs far more than on a $0.04 sticker.
  • Use buy orders to choose your speed. Commodities trade through buy orders. Per Steam's FAQ, you "can choose if you want to do a lower price to sell immediately; or go for a higher price and wait". Match the top buy order to sell now, or list above it and wait.
  • Don't just match the lowest listing. When a buyer places an order, Steam picks the oldest of the cheapest listings. Matching the lowest price puts you at the back of the queue.
  • Watch your wallet cap. Steam limits wallet balances to $2000 and won't let you create a listing that would take you past it. Spend some balance between big batches.

Why listings don't show up right away

  • Market holds. If you haven't had the Mobile Authenticator for at least 7 days, the items you list can be held for up to 15 days before buyers see them (Holds FAQ).
  • New device. After signing in on a new device you can't use the Market from that device for 7 days, unless you've had the authenticator for 7 days (Restrictions FAQ).
  • Recently bought items aren't marketable until the date shown on the item in your inventory.

All the timings are collected in Steam Market fees, holds and restrictions explained.

Multisell vs. browser extensions

Extensions can add bulk-selling buttons to Steam's own pages, but they need access to your Steam session in the browser. Steam Bulk Sell works differently: it reads your public inventory (no login, no API key), builds a normal Steam Multisell URL and hands you off to Steam. You set the prices and confirm on Steam yourself. We never see your Steam login.
