To cancel a CS2 skin listing on Steam, simply remove the item from the "Currently listed" area on the Community Market. This action returns the skin to your inventory and can be done at any time before the transaction is finalized. The skin remains usable while it is listed, but you cannot consume or modify it until the listing is withdrawn.
