If advertising is their only intent, no - they must be for sale.

2) Is selling games for paypal allowed? It is against steams ToS and the few tickets I have put out for trades either never are answered, or are closed saying paypal is acceptable. There are a LOT of trades up listing paypal as acceptable forms of payment for games.

No. Steam very much dislikes people who trade gifts for money - a lot of new games are being released with region/country locks due to the massive amount of people re-selling games. There is a reason why game gifts are not marketable on the SCM.

3) Should amazon gift cards, dogecoin, and other forms of payments be added to the allowed payments for money? I have seen quite a few trades with them that have been up for a while.

This seems like a suggestion, you should make a new thread here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/tf2outpost/discussions/6/

4) A question not related to rules, what happened to themes?

They are very low on the site's dev priorities - not discarded but no ETA for them to come back.

5) Not really a question, more of a bug. You can put up wrapped items multiple trades (instead of once like regular items)

Create a thread here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/tf2outpost/discussions/11/
It will get more attention there.

It depends on the offense, and there is no strict modus operandi. If it's a severe or repetitive offense usually having it closed will not make any difference. We are bringing new people in to solve the long ticket queue times for good.

Right now only PayPal, Webmoney and Bitcoin trades are allowed.

We don't create these titles, they are made by the people who post. And the forums are not supposed to be used to report scams, that's what the site is for.

These threads are always outdated and don't really bring anything good to the discussion. We'd rather have official topics ourselves, but there are other higher priorities at the moment.

This is not new. Please report on the site.

We have no association with gambling activities. Your best bet is to visit the communities affiliated with SteamRep.

Maybe you are trying to open a trade with an item already listed in another active trade.

Yes, it is not allowed to trade for IRL items.

Please be more specific.
