Its what I would call a grey area b/c the only way to transfer the wallet funds is by buying someone's item off the market at a set price.
I wouldnt worry about any sort of Steam consequence from it, your biggest worry will be if the person you're dealing with decides to rip you off as obviously Steam Support wont do anything for you in that respect. If you're dealing w/ someone trustworthy then you should be fine.

You mean selling market items (for example TF2 keys) for Paypal? I don't think it's against any "rule", but I assume it's your own responsibility if for example, you get scammed.

Yeah, but as far as I know, Steam wallet is not transferable. The only way to do it is through marketable items.

Well yeah, it is the only way. Keys were just kind of a bad example. Many people sell keys for Paypal. Wallet transfers via the market are not as commonplace or at least not as widely advertised (i.e. I sell a worthless item for a specific price to you for your wallet).

I did say "market items" then only used TF2 keys as an example. :P

...I really don't understand why you are even arguing over this, actually. :P
I just mentioned TF2 keys because they are a common marketable/tradable items, and the first thing that came to my mind.
But whatever, if you say so I guess.

tf2 keys are a bad example because they're not listable items. you can't buy a tf2 key from a certain person for a certain price. so it's completely irrelevant to what ZerbaDerb is suggesting to do. you two are talking about different methods, that's the reason of this little discussion clearly.

Ah, I see what Zerba meant, now. Thanks for properly clarifying.

A person could always use those Steam Wallet funds to make a gift purchase on someone else's behalf. Of course, no matter what the method is, the person selling the Steam Wallet balance is going to be losing some money. They have to make it worth the other person's while, considering the other person could just add money to their own Wallet.

Doesn't matter if its a wallet card. I've made more than a few trades with people where I had or they had wallet and wanted something of mine and we just set a specific price on the item in the market i.e. if I wanted $50 wallet for my end, I'd set the price of a crappy item (i.e. a marketable TF2 hat) and then find my listing, link it to you and you buy it at that price.

Thats why you set the price to coincide with the price difference. There's two boxes when you put something up for sale "You receive" and "Buyer pays". Ive found typically that its easy to work out the fees, i.e. if someone is offering $20 wallet cause thats all they have thats $17.30 or so Id receive on the market. That 2.70 we have to find a trade for, which is not hard most of the time.
Its not possible if you have Wallet funds to get a code from a shop for wallet already on your account. The only way to transfer it is via the market.

If it's not clear to you after reading the ToS then I probably would not push my luck on it.

Somewhat a pretty good deal instead of buying codes. For example, 10 bucks would be sold for 8 bucks and the taxes for the transaction are covered so the buyer will exactly get 10.

Just wondering if "selling" Steam Wallet for paypal funds doesn't violate any of Steam's rules. I've skimmed the subscriber agreement and found nothing that labels this kind of trade illegal. Would like to make sure before engaging in this kind of activity.
Thanks!
