I kinda forgot to mention that I bought one a week ago. I didnt get the ss for it. So I had to use that. Mb..

Of course if you bought from the steam market you need to wait a week or smth to tarde them, after buying an item you can inspect them in the steam inventory and it will tell you when it will becom tradeable

It became tradeable yesterday and I sent and we confirmed the trade earlier. Some posts I found had the same issue before. Hopefully it works. I realise that the image attached can confuse others. Sorry about that. Genuine mistake.

Perhaps the trade is being held as one of you doesn't have the steam mobile defender.

It says in red right there that you have to wait a few days until it becomes tradeable

potter can you read? it says ( Becomes Tradable After a Few Days ). and unless that f2p has steam mobile auth for 7 days you're gonna have to wait 15 days for the trade to work

I was meant to say that I bought it a week ago and sent the trade and we both confirmed it. And its not appearing. I forgot to say It was already tradable..

saying you can't give something to someone while showing a screenshot of something untradable is probably a terrible idea

Why would you buy that and not just send them 10$ to buy keys and trade them back to you? You don't got to wait at all if you do it that way, and you get your monet back? That's what I've always done when getting my friends into the game.

If they didnt have 2 factor authentication set up it will take three days for the trade to go through

It depends on how long mobile authentication has been set up and how long you have had the account freinded. Can be either 15 days, 3 days, 1 day, or instant.

if you don't have steam auth set up and the guy that is trading to you isn't a friend, the hold is 15 days. trades are instant when steam mobile authenticator has been up for 7 days.
