Is it allowed to sell your CS:GO Skins for "real" Money?

As most of you know, there are pages like the "CS:GO Lounge", where not the Lounge-Owners themself sell skins, but many of you happen to offer and buy skins from one-another. Steam must have validated the page itself since you can log onto the page with your steam account. Same goes for the Dota Lounge and also ebay.
So ultimately I was wondering weather it'd be allowed to sell skins for real money or if it's actually prohibited.

It's just that they're not really safe trades, as everything outside the trade window is not scam-proof. The reason Steam wants you to trade in the trade window is because when you do so, it's secure and they're able to recover your items in case something happens.

Well it might be like that, but I want to now in general, if steam would have a problem if I would sell skins for € and live of that money....

You can only trade for items that can be entered into the steam trade window. No cash, no pay pal, no middlemen, no steam wallet.
