What is ESCROW?
An escrow is a deposit of funds, a deed or other instrument by one party for the delivery to another party upon completion of a specific condition or event. It is an independent neutral account by which the interests of all parties to the transaction are protected.

In other words, escrow is this annoying security thing Valve added recently that holds a trade for an extended amount of time after the email confirmation. It can be for a day, three days, and, in some cases, a week.

Escrow also prevents trading websites like scrap.tf from trading with you. Waiting for your trades is annoying, especially if you're going for Scrap2Unusual or one of the "Quickdealers" that is constantly trading with other people.

Technically, an escrow is a bond, deed, or other document kept in the custody of a third party, taking effect only when a specified condition has been fulfilled. In this case, it's a hindrance for players trying to exchange items.

Along with ESCROW, there are many things added and changed with the game and its economy through the updates of Gunmettle, Invasion, and Tough Break. Skins should have been kept to CSGO and too many things were nerfed to the dismay of different players.

But I have a way for you to stop doing magic tricks with your phone to get your items. Your days of waiting for items are over.

So you basically do what the title of the section says. You download an Android emulator onto your computer and then get the Steam app on that. And Flappy Bird. Can't go without Flappy Bird. Anyway, sign into the app with your Steam account.

Say you have a trade. What you do is you go into the Steam app, Go on the side menu and click Notifications. A drop-down menu will come down and it should say "1 pending trade offer" or something like that. Click on that, then do all the according stuff to contirm the trade.

Sure, you'll have to minimize TF2 every time you want to make a trade, but it's faster than getting your phone out of the pocket you're probably sitting on, unlocking it, scrolling around forever to find the Steam app among the thousands of illegal music downloaders you have, tapping on that, and THEN doing all the confirming. With this method, all you have to do is press a few keys and click a few times. YOU HARDLY HAVE TO MOVE!
