Valve states that they dont support Trades outside of the Trade window / trade system.
so you are yourself responsible for anything you trade outside of the system that valve supports.

They don't support trades in trade system either - which is why the fake-dota item scam reversal was quite a surprise.

Item trades show what both side will be losing and getting and it's completely your own fault if you accept trades where you lose. Outside brief periods of someone scamming Steam with fake items at least.

they actually did support trades thorugh trade window. like when the gift got revoked and so on. ofc they dont support you for your own fualt because u accept lowballs or stuff like you will receive xxx $ if you accept this trade.
maybe not more, but they did atleast when trading was still a thing.
outside trade window stuff although, they never supported and state even in the faq.

Now they just punish users with stupid warnings everywhere and forced authenticator instead.

And if I buy 10 keys, trade them with you for your game (well, much harder now with no SteamGifts, but let's assume it's some old game), then I sell that game on steamtrades for paypal and then chargeback the keys, then you lose the keys and don't get your game back.

I have already sold the keys for Bitcoin and you ended up with a PRK region game.

if you mean by keys csgo / tf2 games and you traded it in the trade window for the gift it was covered. if you mean game keys than it is not a trade within the system. so it isnt covered. atleast thats how it was back in the days.

Did they stop that because people started duping items with fake thefts and trading everything fast to some innocent victim, then asking support to give original items back. Or was it something else.

i heard of that this was one of the reasons. but i guess the exact reasons knows nobody beside valve itself.

I'm quite sure the #1 reason is someone calling Gaben before his morning coffee making him very angry. As a result something disappears from Steam, be it support, games or freedom to trade.

No, it stopped being covered - like Starwhite wrote, after it was found people started doing "fake thefts" Valve stopped returning stolen items, no matter what.

Steam records the conversation. So you would have proof of the scam.

Looking at your replies it looks like the short answer is no. When it comes to trading, always check the rep and verify the person you're trading with is who they say they are (people will make their profiles look like legit/ well known traders). If they have lots of negative feedback or you can't verify, don't do the trade. Enhanced Steam is good for that because it adds links to SG and ST on the persons sidebar.

Sorry you got scammed, hopefully you didn't lose anything of significant value

No, this seems to be a very simple classic "you go first and I disappear" scam that most any newbie traders have to fall for as a lesson.

There is old polish saying... Translation sounds something like that:

"stupid people are not sown, they are born"

It is SO OBVIOUS to secure self first that any kind of such reported "scams" or fb "hacks" are so childish. I'll be the first one to say that loud and feel free to BL me (as this would be natural step of a user like you. GOOD that it happened, next time you will double check and learn.
