(based on the payment method credit/debit card) Skinports fees can easily be researched online and are visible to users without requiring them to create an account first. Of course, it can happen that your bank charges extra fees for individual payment methods, over which the marketplace has no influence at all. In that case, the user would have to check the conditions of his own bank for individual payment methods himself.

So if you look at skin prices on marketplaces with purchase fees, you will have to consider that the shown price is not always the price you are going to pay in the end. That makes the skins more expensive than you perhaps expect at first and you should keep this in mind when comparing prices for listed CS:GO skins across different marketplaces.
