The amount on your LIS-SKINS balance changes because of exchange rates: the balance is stored in US dollars, and in euros or any other currency it is only displayed at the current rate. When the rate moves, the displayed amount moves with it, but your actual funds and the number of skins they can buy stay the same. Your balance really changes only after your own actions: a purchase, a sale, a deposit or a withdrawal.
Why the balance is kept in dollars
Skin prices on the site are also fixed in USD, and every purchase or sale happens in that currency. If you have euros selected on the site, you enter your deposit in euros, for example 100 euros, but it is then converted and stored as its dollar equivalent. The conversion always uses the current exchange rate.
An exchange rate example
Say that at the start of the month you deposit $100. At a rate of 0.95 euros per dollar, that costs you 95 euros, and that is the amount you see with euros selected as your main currency. By the end of the month the dollar has fallen to 0.90 euros, so the same balance now shows as 90 euros. Your buying power has not changed: skin prices in euros dropped by the same proportion. The figures are only an illustration.
When the balance actually changes
The real amount in dollars changes only in these cases:
you top up your balance;
you buy a skin;
you sell a skin on the marketplace (how this works and how it compares to the Steam Community Market is covered in our guide on how to sell CS2 skins);
you withdraw funds (see how to cash out skins for real money).
To see the exact amount without any exchange rate effect, switch the display to dollars. If the dollar amount has changed and you have not bought, sold or withdrawn anything, contact support and make sure you are on lis-skins.com: scammers build copycat sites, and we warned about one of them in our article on a fake site.
So if you display your balance in a currency other than the dollar, changes in the amount should not worry you: they reflect exchange rate fluctuations and do not affect how many skins you can actually buy.
FAQ
Did I lose money if my balance in euros went down?
No. Your balance in dollars is the same, and skin prices in euros are converted at the same rate, so you can buy exactly as much as before.
Can I withdraw money right after selling a skin?
Yes, on LIS-SKINS you can sell skins and withdraw real money, including without waiting out Trade Protection: see our guide on selling CS2 skins without the Trade Protection delay.
