Nothing you can do but wait until Steam gives you the notification that there was a payment issue on DayZ and the game was removed from your library. After that, you can submit a ticket to Steam Support to have the trade reversed and get your keys back.

Depends, I got Batman Arkham Origins for a truly ridiculous price, started thinking I had done a big mistake right after the trade... But few months later, the game is still here...
So, who knows, there are legit good deals sometimes.

There is no way it's legitimate. DayZ costs $30 across all the stores, RU slightly lower at $28. Nobody would ever sell 2 copies at that significant of a loss.
Arkham Origins was cheap because it's not region locked and the RU price is considerably lower than the US/Euro price.

Oh, okay, I have a limited knowledge of prices and trade values in general, that's why I thought that DayZ could be legit.

Some scammers have an alt account they use to buy the game and chargeback so their main won't get banned from Steam.
This unfortunately sounds like a scam :/

Once I had an awesome deal too. 5 months ago, I got Skyrim CD-Key for Sanctum 2 gift (I know it isn't smart to trade gifts for CD-Keys) and I still have it. The trader is still in my friends list and has no negative reputation on SteamTrades :)

Sometimes scammers want to get rid of their "profits" as fast as they can before they get revoked. A guy once offered me a really sweet deal. I refused because I already had got what I was looking for. Later I found out his copies were from a previous scam (the guy who got scammed made a thread here).

So when you give away free DayZ it is ok, but selling cheap is not ok.
ok.
I also think it is a scam but not 100%. If it is legit play your game, if not you will get your keys back via steam support.

Spend 10 minutes to buy keys from market (for lazier people) and trade for new game that isn't region locked. Save $30.

Game $60 in US, $30 in Russia. Summer sale 50% off. US = $30, Russia = $15. Still save $15.

As others have mentioned, you can save a lot of money by trading keys for games. More if you buy the TF2 keys from a reseller. More still if you then trade it for a Russian gift. Even more still if you trade if for a Russian gift while the game in on sale.
So, you can be purchasing a game that's on sale for -75% off, from a Russian trader (easily -40% off), using keys that you're buying -20% off. Even with the small markup for the Russian trader, you're still saving a lot of money.

all of that is fine, but they were how many people saying they are trading for keys, you buy the keys on steam, then they wont trade, now your stuck with keys that you have to find something to trade for.
but oh well, spend the time looking in lists of trades etc etc, when you could just pay that extra $10 or whatever and get the game day 1

Pretty much the only reasons they would refuse the trade is if the sale is over or they suspect that you are a scammer/have negative rep. If they don't trade, it's trivial to find some other person out of the hundreds of people trading the game.

Wait, can you still revoke the trade after it is accepted?
Also, what keys are we reffering to? I assume CS: GO or TF2 keys?!
Can someone explain? Thanks.

Games can be revoked after a trade; even if you activated the game and it's in your library, it can still be revoked. You'll get a message from Steam Support saying that there was a problem processing the payment by a certain account(the scammer) and that it has been removed from your library.

Well, there is no way of protecting yourself against it then, is it?
Seems like a flawed system to me.

Well, according to Steam Trading Policy, you can get your keys back if you were scammed but I'm not exactly sure of the process.

It's not flawed. Chargebacks will always happen and in my opinion, this is the only fair thing that can be done in this situation. Steam stores trade logs, so as long as you did it through the trade window, it is traceable and you will get your items back after they reply to your support ticket.

And that's why its a good idea to trade in items and not in Steam keys or other means. If Steam only has a record of them giving you the game, they'll see it as a gift and not refund a thing. But if it shows that it was a trade of item(s) for item(s), you'll have a much better chance of getting a refund.

Never trade with recently created accounts and/or no game in their library... I just checked on TF2Outpost and every scammer who is selling DayZ for 6-8 keys has of course a totally unreliable account. There were something like 8-9 of them. In my opinion moderators should close such trade offers on sight...
