Background & story

How buying & selling works

ShadowPay provides a mobile app and browser extension for on-the-go access to trading. A public API and Steam Web API key integration support advanced users.
Trust signals beyond reviews
It employs SSL encryption, two-step Steam authentication, and bot escrow for trade security. The platform publishes no public third-party security audits, esports sponsorships, or regulatory registrations like EU AML or MSB.
