Like you said, they are two different trades.

Well, the whole purpose of the "list each item only once" is to prevent relisting them in different trades ;-). As you can see from the original trades the shortstop was modified after it has been listed in the first trade, apparently outposts relist check only takes the current id into account. I dont think its that big deal, i mean who e.g. attaches a tag or paints an item just to be able to list it in a second trade?

Sell items people want for prices people are going to pay and your problem is solved.

Summary of the screenshots:

B: Hi, i want to buy your moderate valued item that currently sells worse than crates for 3 times its price using a method that solves the most annoying flaw the steam trading system currently has (Note: selling virtual items for real world money in a safe way) using a rarely used method almost no one knows about.

S: Oh cool, can you show me a proof how it works?

B: I have traded with admins before (Note: notice the generalized use of the word "admins", no further classification of what these admins administer, e.g. private minecraft server, website of pictures from last vacation, the LAN of his parents house) but i forgot to take any screenshots. I also cant ask them to give you proof that this happened because i dont have them on my friends list anymore and i can't add them because their friends list is always full (Note: yes, the friends list of EVERY admin he has traded with is ALWAYS full)

S: Hmm, well, can you go first then?

B: Sorry i cant because i have ovah 9000 tons more rep than you (Note: too bad the seller didnt ask for the source of the rep, otherwise we probably could eye witness that all his rep was posted on a now closed website or on his steam wall that he had to erase because it was too full)

S: Im trying to get some info about your method, hold on

B: Plox, ploooooxxxxx, i swear to the big milky tits of my mum that do not only feed me well but also my 10 little brothers that i will not scam you or anything (Note: notice the use of "or anything" to extend his reliability by magnitudes), i even give you 100% Money Back Guarantee™


Seriously, everyone who needs to think about if this is a scam after looking at these screenshots (and especially after reading my summary ;)) should ask Valve for a trade ban to protect themselves.

Beside it sucks that i cant use outpost anymore in the background while playing because these auto reloading ads blockl my whole connection and i see no point to pay so damn much per month for so less gain, maybe you should look up in a dictionary what the word "donation" means.

I noticed even more people like ponies, is it allowed to sell ponies? ... No seriously, what are we talking about here? Some other virtual items? Really, its already hard enough to sell spiral knights crap and the like, it even a real challenge to sell tf2 items that cant be properly searched for (killstreaks anyone?), i highly doubt you will find anyone for this type of trade, outpost is not the place for that.

Yes, you did something wrong, you bought the same old games during the same sales like all those profit whores out there, and there are A LOT of these out there. So basically you are trying to sell games the market is totally flooded with and absolutely no one wants.

Yes, you will lose all the trades that dont contain this text. Outpost is just not the place to trade for killstreaks and strangifiers, use the community market for this, saves you a lot of time, also much less highballing there :-P.

Well, it has, also with dota and cs:go, these are the most common targets of phishers because of the huge amount of trading volume and the sick value of items passing around here. Of course you would know that if you would actually play TF2, and if you would do only a little bit of trading you would know that this happens thousands of times each day.

Now the really fun part is, nothing much would have happened to you if you would have entered your details on that phishing site. You own nothing, all the phisher prolly would have done is maybe changing your password and use your account for spamming. You would have gotten your account back from steam and never realize that you are banned on pretty much every trading site because you never visit one.

Now imagine that everyone who gets a random phishing attempt and has nothing to do with trading or that game would post that in every affected game forum, can you imagine how much traffic thid causes? Rest assured when you get a single phish everyone here got already a huge swarm of that phish in every possible colour, shape and taste.

Interesting that people who have 1.4 hours of playtime in TF2 (so long ago that you have to check full game list to find it) and own exactly 3 items of that game, none tradable, care so damn much about phishing.

Regarding all the posts on this forum about bans and tickets i think this doesnt really matters, expect to wait multiple months, doesnt matter much who is assigned to your ticket.
