How to Bulk Sell PUBG Crates, Keys and Clothing with Steam Multisell
Summary: PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS crates, keys, clothing and weapon skins that Steam marks as commodities can be listed together on Steam's Multisell page instead of one at a time. Steam Bulk Sell reads a public PUBG inventory and builds that link. This guide covers pricing against buy orders, Steam's 5% Steam Transaction Fee, market holds and the $2000 Steam Wallet cap.
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS inventories fill up with crates, keys and clothing you'll never wear. Many of these trade on the Steam Community Market as commodities, so you can list them together on Steam's Multisell page instead of one at a time. Steam Bulk Sell reads your public inventory and builds that link.
Which PUBG items qualify
Multisell only works for items Steam marks as commodities. The Market FAQ describes those as items where "all the items are identical, and can be traded interchangeably". Our PUBG catalog has recorded these:
| Group | Examples from our catalog |
|---|---|
| Keys | EARLY BIRD KEY, EAST ERANGEL POLICE KEY, WEAPON SKIN KEY, AVIATOR KEY |
| Crates | EQUINOX CRATE, DESPERADO CRATE, GAMESCOM INVITATIONAL CRATE, TRIUMPH CRATE, FEVER CRATE, RAIDER CRATE, AVIATOR CRATE, MILITIA CRATE, FALL 2018 CRATE, SURVIVOR CRATE, WANDERER CRATE, BIKER CRATE, VENETIAN CRATE, EAST ERANGEL POLICE CRATE |
| Esports and event items | PCS3 Tagged Out Parachute, PCS2 Contender Hoodie, PCS3 Golden Flurry Backpack (Level 3), PGC 2019 Combat Pants, PGC 2019 Goggles |
| Headwear and masks | Gas Mask (Half), Vintage Gas Mask, Beanie (Brown), Camo Cap, Cowboy Hat (Brown), Twitch Prime Balaclava |
| Tops and jackets | Urban Padded Jacket, Mandarin Jacket (Blue), Floral Retro Jacket, VK Varsity Jacket, East Erangel Police Shirt, Checked Shirt (Red), Telnyashka, Pochinki Fellas Jersey |
| Legwear | Baggy Pants (Brown), Biker Pants (Black), Cargo Pants (Blue), Jeans (Tan), Wide Pants (Red), VK Jeans, Military Skirt (Black) |
| Footwear and gloves | Hi-top Trainers (Blue), Leather Boots (Black), Leather Boots (Brown), Snake Skin Sneakers, Countryside Sneakers, Fingerless Gloves (Leather), Fingerless Gloves (Camo) |
| Weapon skins and sets | Rugged (Orange) - Kar98k, Rugged (Orange) - SCAR-L, Desert Digital - P18C, Gold Plate - UMP, PCS1 - M416, Trifecta - Micro UZI, INSTRUCTOR SET, VK SET |
Color variants count as separate items. "Beanie (Brown)" and "Beanie (Gray)" each have their own Market page and price, and the builder shows them separately.
Step by step
- Make sure your account can sell. Steam requires a purchase older than 7 days (but not older than a year) and Steam Guard enabled for 15 days (full list).
- Set your inventory to public (how).
- Open the PUBG builder, paste your Steam profile, and click Load inventory.
- Pick the items you want to sell and check the quantities.
- Open the Multisell link while signed in to Steam. Steam's page loads for app 578080.
- Price, submit and confirm each listing (in the Steam Mobile App if you use the authenticator).
Batching a PUBG inventory
- Sell keys and crates first. They're the easiest to price because each one is a single Market item with plenty of history on its page.
- Clothing in one batch. Common clothing is usually cheap. Put it all in one link and price it quickly against the current buy orders.
- Esports and limited items separately. Event items such as the PGC and PCS pieces can be worth more. Price them individually.
- Remember the minimum fee. Steam's transaction fee is 5% with a $0.01 minimum, so on an item under about $0.20 the minimum takes a bigger share than 5%.
Pricing against buy orders
Commodities trade through buy orders. Per Steam's Market FAQ, buy orders show "what other users are willing to pay for an item, and you can choose if you want to do a lower price to sell immediately; or go for a higher price and wait". For crates you want to clear, match the top buy order. For rarer items, list a little higher and give it time.
Fees
The Market FAQ lists the Steam Transaction Fee of 5% (minimum $0.01), which it says the buyer pays. It lists separate game fees only for Counter-Strike 2, Team Fortress 2, Dota 2 and Artifact, and PUBG isn't one of them. Steam's sell page shows the exact numbers before you confirm. More in Steam Market fees and holds explained. Because the fee is added on top of your price, you keep about 95% of what the buyer pays for PUBG items. To total up what your inventory is worth after fees, see the Steam inventory value guide.
Holds and locked items
- Market hold: without the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator for at least 7 days, the items you list can be held for up to 15 days before they appear on the Market (Holds FAQ).
- Recently bought items: items purchased in-game or on the Market aren't marketable until the date shown on the item in your inventory (Restrictions FAQ).
- New device: signing in on a new device can block Market use from that device for 7 days, unless you've had the Mobile Authenticator for 7 days.
Wallet cap
Sales go to your Steam Wallet. Steam caps the balance at $2000 and won't let you create a listing if your balance plus the sale price would exceed it. Wallet funds can't be withdrawn, so if a big PUBG clear-out would take you past the cap, spend some balance between batches.
Troubleshooting
- An item doesn't show up. It's either not a commodity, not marketable yet, or not in the PUBG inventory (app 578080).
- Inventory is private. Make it public, wait a minute and reload.
- Listings don't appear on the Market. They're probably on a hold. Check your Steam inventory and Market pages.
Open the PUBG Multisell builder, load your public inventory and list your crates, keys and clothing in one go.
