I hope there will be some means of automation available in near future. It would greatly improve user experience and general trading safety. It would lessen need of third party solutions and would be a great boost as a premium perk, for example.

I guess, as a legal body, there is limited opportunities for fast changes. I guess future updates will include some automated solutions.

My concerns about current regulation of "outbound links"

Hello! I do understand that rules is written and need to obey.
Let's talk about me. I've contributed to major communities, like, Outpost, Bazaar, Dispenser, Backpack, Scrap banking sites.

About communities talking here:
►backpack works mostly as outlet (high exposure)
►outpost is main site of trade listings (mostly) with high exposure
►dispenser works as games selling and base currency selling platform, quite low exposure (automated bot)
►bazaar mainly works as automated trading service with low exposure

As far as I see, these sites offer quite different experience to call them as competitors, Bazaar lacks of exposure, there is tons of "year old" threads and is pretty much "out of the game" to call it as a competitor.

For me (user who contributes by buying premium) question might come
"Is using outbound links as long as they're enriching general user experience is a bad thing?"
Automation only helps to avoid hassle of miscounting items and overcome time differences.


I see that each of these communities play's different role in general market.
So how come we avoid to move towards higher general satisfaction?

Hello!

It should be mandatory that user could put arguments after his trade were closed. As for administration, there is no way to directly contact him. He does not accept friend request on steam and there is no other means of communication with that specific admin.

Thing is that my thread was closed due "Improperly visualized price of items.". I had no way explaining my reasoning. It's due the fact that there are no option to change visual appearance after trade is made (i can gray out refined, that's it) but all the people who bookmarked page would be lost due new trade creation.

As matter of that trade, there were two fields specifically mentioning the right price. There was no intention to mislead users in any way. It's due systems imperfections to adjust to fluctuating market prices.

I do think that some cases require to receive explanation from author before taking any action or there should be effective, direct way of communication with specific admin.

This message is dedicated specifically to Morphine who closed my trade
