Question about the new steam trading delay.
As steam added the new delay when it comes to trading with users that dont have a mobile app. it adds a 3 day delay where both users items are unavaible in their inventory.

Based on this for the rule "you cant sell items u dont own" i just take down my trades, and wait 3 days for the trade to go through.
But recently a user traded with me and in the last day of the trade delay he canceled it, basically wasting 2/3 days of potential trading.

Because of this, would we be allowed to keep our items up on outpost during the 3 day delay, OR if users start to cancel trades during the delay should they be reported? (ik steam gives them a 1 week trade ban because "scammer could of took over there account" and whatnot)

While trade holds can be frustrating, it's even more frustrating for users to guess whether your items are available for sale or not. Allowing such trades would make the rule you mentioned useless. Once you've accepted a trade that's put on hold, technically you don't own the items anymore.

I believe that the vast majority of users would not cancel their trade offers as that would only give them a trade ban for 7 days so this should be a minor issue. As for reporting them, that's the same as backing out of a trade. Not a nice thing to do but that's it, there's no rule breaking here.
