The only Legitimate places that guarantee receiving the items/skins you buy is the in-game store for RUST:

the Store Page:
https://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/252490/browse/?filter=All

or the Community Market:
https://steamcommunity.com/market/

Using 3rd party sites designed to scam you by stealing your money and/or your items immediately or over time, is a great way not only to lose money and skins/items - even over time - but a great way to have your account compromised and be banned by a cheater using the account login you gave to such websites if you dont have Steam Guard enabled.

This is why you don't use 3rd party sites, "buying" stuff there, doesn't mean you will get those things to your Steam Inventory. They will likely give you some sort of fake "error" or otherwise when you contact them. Fact is you're out of money and you got scammed.

Remove the API Key from your account, change your password, stop giving 3rd parties your Steam Login.

If you get the items, do what I said; remove the API Key, change your password, stop using those sites.

They are literally designed to steal from random users over time, some outright do it when a user first uses it. Stick with the in-game store, trading within Steam ONLY, the Community Market, or the store page. This is the only way you will keep your inventory over time.

Note Valve can also give permanent trade bans to accounts perceived as commercial (offsite buying and selling) activity. They do this on a fairly decent basis to accounts.

Everyone thinks every site of such is legit.
Until their stuff gets stolen, like the hundreds before them.
