Buying/selling keys +autobumping issue
I saw the latest addition to the rules:
"Side note: If you have a trade selling keys or some form of currency, and have run out of stock, please turn off autobumping for that trade. When you have stock, you can toggle it back on. This helps to keep the website clean of old and invalid trades allowing our users to trade much more efficiently."

But I don't see too many people that care.
I'm trying to buy keys but it seems incredibly difficult with so many posts like "Buying for X.xx, Selling for Y.yy.. Stock: 0".
And I'm not even talking about the Buying and Selling in the same trade, which is very annoying when you search for only one option of the two.

I'm new to this forum so I wonder if this a known issue. Are admins going to take extra measures against this? It makes buying/selling keys almost impossible.

Thanks.

Yes but the problem is that those trades are always relevant. They buy and sell in the same trade. If they don't have keys to sell, then its relevant because they're buying them.
But how is it helping anyone who's looking to buy keys? Those guys should make 2 separate trades.

People are too lazy. I see guys with 4 month old trades autobumped with 0 stock that haven't logged into Steam in 65 days. I just report them.

eh yea i guess at a certain point its just wasting peoples time, the "store" trades are the worst, the guy doesn't want to remake so he only says its out of stock in the notes. Incredibly annoying for searches.

Sometimes an autobump trade for keys will have a few keys for a min, then the stock is already gone..hard to tell sometimes

Pretty much the same thing to me. They could just close that trade. It's easy to make a new trade for selling Keys.

If you report them, we'll close them.
