Steam Trading Beta

Everyone is in the beta! Go to your steam settings, and turn on Trade beta! :D

Just noticed that Valve has a plan to implement purchasing a game to gift for later soon. I'm looking forward to that update.

Damn it! just made a thread on this LOL :P - I’ll delete that now rofl

trading is now legal :D YEAAAH!!

It is a GREAT way to stop scamming, I think Valve's idea is that people are going to do it anyway so why not make it so that nobody gets scammed.

Did they mention being able to trade Gifts for Gifts?

I wonder if Valve will be able to get other developers on board with the whole "in-game item trading" thing. I also have a feeling this is part of the preparation for Dota 2.

Nevertheless, great move from Valve.

Already use this beta :)
I'm happy :)

I love this trading system!

Is this for Tf2 only? if so yawn

i love it too

I tried the beta trading system, and I do not like how quickly a session will time out. I must have attempted a trade 10-20 times before it was completed, but it works.

Overall, I like the new features, and Steam just keeps getting better.

Oh, and the new friends list layout is pretty sweet!

Interesting, I'll check it out. I see another beta participation program "Dawn of Ware II - Retribution Beta" whats that about?

It also adds a choice when buying a game as a gift: you can choose to email it or send to a friend, as before, OR to add it to your "inventory" so you can trade it or access it later if you want. Essentially it adds a gift pass to your account just as, say, buying a 4pack does.
