You exchange your skins for OPskins bots, which keep them until someone purchases the skin where funds are transferred from the bot to the buyer’s account. The buyer can then buy more skins on OPskins with it or convert it into bitcoins or PayPal. OPskins acts as an intermediary with minimal risk—just make sure you’re dealing with a reputable OPskin bot—and the buyer won’t face chargebacks since they’re simply disputing with OPskins, not you.
Typically reselling hardware like this violates the terms of service of stores. I haven’t checked Steam’s policies to see if it’s the same. In fact, it’s similar to selling Steam accounts. If Valve learns they’re making real money from selling its hardware without permission, such actions will get banned.
