Well if you said so. Steam is not so popular here and some DOTA 1 players (which is one popular game here) has no idea about free DOTA 2's flying around.
And then there's people taking advantage of it by selling the copies, ranging from $5 - $20 each. And they sold well...

More money for Valve, they get a 15% cut out of a game that costs them nothing (well, they did have the dev costs, but it will be F2P anyway).
Geniuses!

Because they want to test the marketplace before you can sell games on your inventory.

i appreciate someone making the logical comments here.... there have been invites sold on ebay by idiots the free copies are like you mentioned stress test purposed, they cost nothing earn back a tiny portion in trade percentage.... how many stress tests do you know of where the company got paid to host them?
genuinely brilliant

Are they supposed to be a "free" invite copies for your friends? And now Steam encourages you to sell them via their Marketplace.
I'd rather selling them to some clueless DOTA maniac in my place for more higher price...
