Everything is working now. Thanks for the help. So how do I close this thread? Thanks, Bird Of PrAy

Thanks for the fast reply. I did not use quotes. I go to the Steam area to search using the drop down box. I hit search, then typed in part of the game name, nation, and hit the green button at the bottom of the page. I also tried hitting search, then clicking on the upper left box to highlight it like I was going to add an item into it, I then type nation, into the search box and click the green button at the bottom of the page. Is that correct? Is there any setting that may be preventing me from doing a search? I can search for tf2 items like hats with no problem. Thanks, Bird Of PrAy

I have a game called Nation Red for sale on tf2outpost. I did a search for "Nation" and "Nation Red" under all categories (including tf2 and Steam) to see what others were selling it for and found none for sale. Mine listing was not found either. Am I listing it or searching for it incorrectly, or is the search engine not working right? Thanks in advance for your help. God bless. - Bird Of PrAy

I agree with you. I have been playig tf2 for 5 years with 6800 hours and thousands of trades, but have nothing written on my "STEAM REP" page. I do have hundreds of positive comments on my profile page which personally means a lot to me, but could also be faked to a degree because I can easily weed out any negative coments. What I do highly value is that my good name is well known among traders and I can instantly get good references from numerous other gamers on just about any trade server I visit. "You can give your "word" to someone a thousand times, but you can lose your good name only once"...so I gaurd it well.

yea the problem is that rep has zero meaning.
people who are rude or even scammers leave the rep they do get from successful transactions on their profile, the rest get deleted. one guy can add a dozen people, trade one guy, get rep, ignore the rest and waste their time and still have a +rep. people buy rep with rep, its about the most pointless thing in tf2 trading. people need to stop this dance. only scammers use rep as a convincer about their reputation, because no one else in their right mind would give any credence to rep, so rep is only good as window dressing for scammers to better scam marks once you tink about it.

every serial killer would have pages of +rep if real life worked this way. buy a burger from mcdonalds and actually pay for it? +rep! omg what a fast trader! honest and kind too!

give me a break huh...

As judged in a court of law, you did nothing wrong. You presented the item as it was with no deception, and the buyer bought it, "as is, where is" with no promised conditions. I admin in 17 trade servers and for 90% of all the people who cry "SCAMMER", it is their own fault for not looking up the item value or for not looking at the item itself very carefully. Trading originally was done when one person swapped one item for another and nothing was of any greater value than another...but then the "MANNCONOMY" came into being. Some items became more popular and others were labeled at worthless based on what the "popular opinion" was about some detail of the item in question. Once the facts are shown, I do not believe STEAM REP or anyone else would ever find fault in what you sold. I have done thousands of trades and a few people have come back to me to ask if I would reverse the trade...some even as much as few days later. In most cases I gave them back their items, but not because I felt guilty. I did it because of THEIR attitude and how they asked me. A few may not have realized the value or missed some detail of what they were trading for, but most were poor noobs who later decided that the item or hat they had to have at that moment was not as good as they thought it would be. They were honest with me and I either refunded them or traded them something different. For those one or two traders who got in my face and threatened me with bad rep, I reminded them it had been a fair trade and that bad rep was a two-way street. So far, in my 6800 hours of mostly trading, I have never regretted my decisions. For those I refunded, I thought no more about them until I ran in to them months later in another trade where they reminded me of who they were and how much they appreciated my kind gesture when they really needed it. You can make a lot of good long-term friends that way. My final word would be to judge each trade refund request based on the facts and also the attitude of the person. I wish you good luck on your trades. God bless. Bird

There are parts of previously viewed outpost pages in the background when I view my current active trades. I see extra text sticking out from behind my name on individual the trades when viewing all of them on the main screen. Some are even selectable active links, while some are grey text or regular text. It is becoming a real mess. How do I fix it? Should I be asking this question somewhere else? Thanks, Bird Of PrAy
