Terrible user experience.

Forces to study some caution shit, can't even skip.
Unable to find the transaction after purchase.
Badly designed website.

only for chinese nationals...

bad app not working in europe anymore.;..

I used to love Buff163, because it was the largest CS:GO skins market available, and it was accessible to everyone!

A few months ago they it impossible to sell items without having a Chinese bank account (which you obviously need to be a Chinese citizen to have). This effectively made the site useless for anyone outside China.

Having the site be accessible only by Chinese citizens, makes it more complicated to trade and buy skins. I now use two different sites for the best deals (which is complicated and slow due to 7 day trade holds), whereas Buff163 was one, large market, making it simple for the end user.

Hopefully buff will come back to its former glory at some point.

its honestly cheap and the product arrives fast

only for chinese users not able to buy skins or sell itt used to be better but prices r higher than before so itt doesnt make sense to buy or sell there

Used to be the best, then made it only for chinese

Chinese nationals only market. Irrelevant in global trading at this point, might as well have shut down.

Only Chinese users can use this marketplace now. Used to be the best and now, the worst :(

Used to be a legend. Since they stopped accomodating non-Chinese users, no option to sell, support literally kidding the users, nothing they would be willing to do for the Customer at all. As of now (and for the forecoming years, most likely) is buff.163.com a dead site.

only Chinese people can use it also it steals information from your phone don't download this app.

Buff is owned by a chinese company. Which does mean they are required by law to share information about users with the CCP.

Though that isn't my main issue with this, but rather its how they inconvenience you and their sellers by trying to force you to get their mobile app so they can gather information from your phone.

If you make a purchase from Buff, you will be given two options:
1. Send the offer for the item to the seller (ONLY AVAILABLE FOR MOBILE APP USERS)
2. The seller has to send you the offer, creating more work for them.
Untop of that, some sellers can have it set to automatically decline offers asking the seller to send the trade offer to the buyer. Something you can't know if the seller has on, without making the purchase.
So if they decline, you have 5 minutes to download the app and send the offer, or the trade will be cancelled.
Oh, and the icing on the cake is that if you "Make too many purchases where you don't go through with it, you'll get trade locked"

So to summarize:
-If you don't want your mobile data stolen, you have to take a gamble on purchasing an item, because you don't know if the seller is even willing to send it to you.
If they decline, you can get penalized for it when the site isn't being transparent with you so that you can prevent causing the thing that you'll be penalized for?
What?!

Its at a point where i don't bother, because if i add money to buy a skin i see, i can't know if i'll even be allowed to buy it.
Because sorry, i have a hard time thinking that my PC with the processing power x10 that of a damn phone, is unable to process sending a trade offer to someone.
You want me to get the app to leech information from the phone, because on PC there's many safety precautions someone can take or that are locked per default so that they get no info out of you.
They want your data, there's no other excuse.

Buff is large but that's in due to quantity in items for sale, and the chinese peoples' willingness to always be the lowest price to make a sale. They are willing to race to the bottom until there's no margins left in the sale for them, so long as they get the sale.
Buff is certainly not large due to their "quality"
Because that part of it is about on-par with Temu and Wish garbage.

Trash, they only allow Chinese citizens now. They weren't even forced to make this change. Chinese people bought up a lot of the items from the global supply, and now they're keeping them locked up at buff.163

Buff is evil.

Buff decided to shut out all their non-chinese customers. It really sucks, and they won't be the leading market anymore. No reason to use this marketplace anymore, or even as a reference for prices.

Good amount of information on skins

Item Got Scammed
**Remember**
Don't rush to send the item when got a notification from them, check before confirming send or you will regret it.

They will not do any compensation or action if you get scammed.
