hi guys,
i was wondering if after a trade with someone using keys, they could get a chargeback on those keys and basically screw you over
i mean if i trade a game for a couple of keys with Fred Bloggs and immediately after the trade he gets a refund or he cancels the payment for the keys. what happens to they keys i have? will i lose them? would i get back the game if i were to contact steam support?
thanks in advance

Yes someone could do a chargeback, and if they do, the game gets removed from your account. Valve won't help you if you trade for game keys and then get scammed. You won't get back what you traded for the key.

nono, what i meant is, i give them a game for let's say 2 keys, they cancel the payment on the keys
would i still lose the keys?

I think if the transaction is made through the steam trade window, steam can/will reverse the whole thing - in case the person cancel the TF2 keys purchase. I don't know if they do it automaticaly or even warn you about it or if you have to complain to get it reversed.

^ this. as long as a trade happens in the trading window, valve will reverse it far as im aware.... though ive never come across anyone doing a chargeback on tf2 keys though.. i really dont think its very common??

I'm pretty certain it is impossible anyways.
Steam does warn the buyer that the purchase is final concerning the market items. And since it can only be bought from Wallet money, there is no Paypal or other service that could be used.

Well, actually they do. I was scammed once and got my keys back with the help of the support.
