Why did my trade get closed?
http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19747595

I'd already bought almost 300 crates from this trade and temporarily set my state to NOT BUYING so I could get a chance to get rid of some crates before buying some more (I'm not going to fill my entire backpack with crates, and then buy more backpack expanders just to fill up those slots with crates, and then buy more backpack expanders etc. I'd reach the 15 page limit in three days if I did that). In the trade, I wrote that I would be buying again soon. Soon as in after the Bread update hype dies down and people are willing to uncrate normal crates instead of just Audition Reels, which can't be more than a couple more days from now. 17 people bookmarked my trade, none of whom will be able to sell me their unwanted crates now.

Why was my trade closed, and not the countless people buying/selling keys and hats that have set their status to "Currently not buying"?

I seem to remember in the past, the FAQs said that if we were mass buying things, we'd still be allowed to keep the trades open as long as we turned off autobump.

Because users now have the ability to reopen trades, we ask that anyone not buying to close their trades and reopen them when they have the ability to buy more of what they're looking for. This was directly to solve the issue of many people not buying anything and even if they had autobump turned off, they would show in search results and face a possible autoclosing of their trades after a week.

As for anyone else who is doing this, please report them if they need to have their trades closed. We do not actively do the searching ourselves for trades to close and the reason your's was closed was because it was reported and not due to any form of bias.
