Suggestions: removing items from trade + autobumping
I'm a pretty big trader and I use this site often, I get about 60+ adds a day and make about 50 keys in trades daily...

I LOVE this site but there are a few things that I think could be improved and would be VERY easy to implement:

1. Simply having items that you've sold auto-delete from your trades. I realize that people who have trades open with keys and such who sell one but have 50 more and that one is in their trade will get their's closed, but still, it would save the 99% of other trades a lot of hassle.

2. If this is not possible then: Please allow us to delete items from our open trades WITHOUT it also causing it to open the link to the trade. It's annoying. I have to open new tabs with all the trades I want to delete items from and remove the items individually because of this.

3. A search bar for your own trades! With the new cap at 35 trades it becomes very difficult to sort through your trades. Having either a search bar for items on a user's trade page would be great so that I can easily find a trade and check my notes / delete items.

4. Remove autobumping from users who are not online in Steam OR make it 1 hour autobump for premium users who are not actively viewing outpost.


That is all. Thank you

Ctrl+F doesnt work for items. Duh.

Why autobump someone's trades at the same rate as premium, every 30 minutes, if they are not online and haven't even been online for a day or so? That needs to stop. Its clogging the front page.

Your thought out replies have really changed my opinion on the matter. Thanks for your amazing feedback, definitely worth typing.

It works for notes, it's common practice to list the name of the item and the price in the notes anyway.

Because that's what they paid for. Besides detecting if someone is online or not isn't entirely accurate.

I have 35 trades open and 500 items for trade. With the new premium, my situation is nothing rare. I want to have a search function for my entire trade list.

Backpack.tf does it by weather you have the link opened in your browser, doesn't it?

I think it mouse wheel is easier then some form of typin search for your our trades. I mean less effort. Push wheel in and slightly move mouse down and hold position.

There's a plugin that autobumps your trades for as long as you have Chrome open. Buy Now trades will probably be autobumped even when you're offline.

That still doesn't guarantee that a trader is online when their trade is autobumped. They could be afk or left the comp running over night.

Simply keep the items you listed in a different location of your bp and don't trade them.

This has already been suggested multiple times.

I think many other features have priority over this.

Online status is cached and this won't change. Therefore the end result of your suggestion would be inaccurate.
