Seems to be working fine for me. Can you explain exactly what you are witnessing on your side?

You can not charge Steam wallet money because it can not be transferred from account to account unless you use the Community Market.

You would need to use PayPal or something similar.

You can create and send a trade offer from two places, the Trade Offers page off your Inventory and from a friend’s Inventory.
From the trade offers page select “New trade offer…”, select a friend from the pop up list, select items from both your and their inventory to trade, add an optional message, confirm the items and make the offer. Your friend will be notified of the trade offer in the green notification drop down at the top right of Steam.

Personally, I think it is due to the steady increase in user base on the site creating a broader variety of trades and traders. I do not think people spend as much time on Outpost to purchase lower valued items such as craft hats, weapons, crates, etc.. It seems like a waste of time, adding users, waiting for them and so on when you can quickly hop on a trade server or two and find some of the items you are searching for. Plus, most lower valued items are more common, leading to more trades from users regarding the same item hence why trades to get as many views; there are many other trades to view.

Over the coarse of the sites existence I think it has grown into more of an unusual tier trading system. If you are looking for a specific unusual, most of the time you will not find them on a server easy hence why Outpost has been so effective thus far in trading. It is all about the convenience of searching and finding rather then hopping from server to server; seeking.

In short: I do not think Outpost in general is dying one bit but perhaps certain aspects of the trading.

There are some good tips there to try.

I'm terribly sorry. I'm sort of new to this forum, not so much Outpost, but the forums. Thanks a lot HappyStix!

Everyone is new to the forums at some point, if you feel the need you can post about your concern on an active suggestion regarding this topic.

Beware of necrobumping though.

Autobump is a feature for the donators. Outpost can't simply close old trades because they are old. There are plenty of old but active trades.

If a trade is old and inactive, it can and should be reported. But Outpost will check the users' activity on site before taking any action. Some people simply don't reply in their own trades, therefore one should not assume the user is inactive based on that only.


There are already countless threads regarding this exact same thing though.

There are many threads asking about this same topic and I do believe that Outpost is working on it.

If I am not mistaken ฿LÜΣÐΣMӨП is no longer an Outpost Admin and since you recently created your trade then I do not know what happened.

Glad the problem is solved though.
