Sorry I'm late, http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/61244. He hasn't been active for a while, but mainly because of the ban and that tf2op administration will probably not care.

I don't believe it was ever against the rules to trade with a banned user. Brokering items (trading on behalf of) a banned user is a different story, as that circumvents the ban. Of course, a lot of banned users are scammers, and trading with scammers is a taggable offense on SR, which also leads to a ban on OP.

I may be wrong here, so I'd advise waiting for an admin/mod response.

That's exactly what I was thinking, and I'm caught in a loop here. I don't want to take the risk... but the guy has good prices, his backpack is even uprivatized now.

Is it against the rules to trade with someone that is banned off of tf2op soley for having a private bp?

Are you people seriously trying to enforce what people pay? If this is how the tf2 economy should run then we should all buy and sell to tf2wh. If that's what you want, that's where you should go. You should not BAN people for trying to get a good deal off of them. And I have never seen someone refuse an offer for quicksale more than 50% off, It has never even happened, qucksell is 20-30%, 70% is stealing. Also there is a reason for such discounts, Supply and demand. Nobody wants or sub-30 key cancer unusual, so of course you are going to get low offers. Selling to a quickbuyer is almost a service, It takes weeks to get a good deal on a cancer hat, and selling it for 30% off is actually a good thing. Now asking for quicksells on 5 bud hats, that's kind of stupid.

TL;DR
Banning is stupid, as bad as tf2op is with lowballers, it's still free market

You could tell them that the trade is moving, that's what I always do. You could also redirect them to the new trade.

I have done so, and already got a bookmark within 30 seconds

good lord.

You could combine the two trades.

Well the thing is, that You can't edit items in a trade, which I understand the purpose for. And I have a bunch of bookmarks For people buying in the future.

I have a trade up saying I am buying craft hats for real world money, I have a few hundred views and a couple bookmarks. I also am in need of keys, but I cannot make a trade for buying keys for money because I evidentally have the same trade open. But it is merely another trade saying I am buying with real world money, but it is not the same thing at all.

I would really like this to be fixed, my steam id is benkzr and I'm a donor if that helps at all.
