Removing the link in the previous post, do not link to other people's trades as examples that you deem negative.

If that is the case, read and follow these instructions:

I would first check your weapons here to see if those are the standard levels that are attributed to them: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Level

Besides some vintages, most weapons that have a set level will pretty much never have a non-standard version. You'd be pretty much wasting time trying to sell any of the listed weapons from the site based on their level. Though if you can get your hands on one that isn't standard level, it could be worth something decent.

Do not trade on the forums.

You didn't trade for anything.

Completed just means that you closed down the actual listing, not that you've traded your items.

Did you actually have someone add you or add someone yourself and go through with the trade?

We don't do trading on our end, the site is just a tool to find others to trade with.

That really isn't what I meant at all, but I can see why someone might read it that way.

The heart system was put in place because we actually did have a positive/negative reputation system in place on the site. This was well before I was staff, but as a user I could see how it negatively impacted the site. People would leave negative rep on user's profiles for the slightest thing, revenge repping was a huge issue, and people would just make rep for rep trades. The system was scrapped because as you said, few rep systems actually have any weight to them but the staff here still wanted something nice that users could have to show that they were a nice person or could be rewarded someway for being nice. Hearts are in no way a full gauge of how trustworthy a person is, and are more like the commendation system from Dota 2 if anyone is familiar with it, nice to have but not a true indication of trustworthiness in a person.

When I said that quote, I meant that it isn't our place to police the user's trades for what is a fair deal, but let people who are wondering why their trades aren't getting them anywhere be the indication that they might be going at it the wrong way.
