Hello,

So now, when you buy a item on the makert or in-game you cant trade that item for 7 days.

That means Steam has the time to make sure the item was payed with a legit card or money right?

Trades can now be done safely?

Asking this because i'm currently trading a game that worth around 30 keys

Thanks

If everything is inside the trade window,you are probably safe.

Yup. With only one side being in the window,you've got no guarantee the other side won't take it and run.

Since there's a 30 trade restrictions on tradeable gifts, the minimizes the chance of fraudulent purchased gifts.

If the game you received gets revoked, you can still contact Steam support and they will undo the trade, meaning you will get your item(s) back.

That is if the trade has been done through the trade window.

My advice would be to make sure the person you're trading with is trustworthy. While the 7 day cooldown certainly helps combat credit card fraud, you still need to check out the person you're trading with when you're trading a high value item. Make sure that the person's not an impostor or a scammer by checking their http://steamrep.com/ profile and Steam Trades profile. Look at the people he's friends with as well, it there's a few banned people on his friends list you might want to look for another trader.

Yes i understand, always did that.
It's a new account with a few games witch make me suspicious since the beginning. It's a game more for people who collect games and it is a expensive game.

This been said, if he buys the keys on the market and steam verifies for 7 days. I do the trade inside Steam trading. I guess if something goes bad along the way at least the game will return to my inventory no?

It's best not to do any shady business even if you're sure you know what you doing. If it's a new account that "just discovered steam",I'd be realllly suspicious if he knows about deadpool and is willing to shell out over 60$ on it.

If you decide to go along with it,three golden rules:
1.Everything inside the trade window in a single trade. No excuses. No second thoughts. No switching items around. Do the exact deal you agreed upon,and double-confirm nothing got put out before hitting ok.
2.Try to keep chat only about negotiating the price and nothing else. Be extremely careful about any links - actually,don't enter ANY of them. If it's anything related to Steam,use google and obtain the relevant link yourself.
3.Record everything. If anything,assuming you do get scammed,it may help with marking him as scammer :|
