This has been a debated topic for a while, but it depends on how and where you trade.

Absolutely, there is a legal and legitimate way to make money from CS:GO skins, as long as you use proper platforms and follow their terms. Many players monetize their inventory by selling skins through reputable trading sites. I personally use https://dmarket.com/ingame-items/item-list/csgo-skins because it’s one of the few that offers cash-out options, good support, and fair market prices. They also offer analytics so you can track trends and decide the best time to sell. It’s been a great way for me to earn a little side money doing something I already enjoy.
