This is going to be taken care of soon. Just need to lay out all the technical prerequesities for it first, which will still take some time.

Buying a soda from a vending machine at a train station will always be more expensive than buying the same soda in a grocery store. Selling your cell phone instantly to a pawn shop / thrift store will always get you less money than going to manually find a buyer for your cell phone with an ebay auction or a classifieds listing. Scrap.tf is that vending machine (automated service, 24/7 availability) and pawn shop (instant brokering of virtual goods)

What surprises me even more is that NO ONE on the trade server actually fulfilled your request to buy at 19 ref. Since it would have been the sort of profit a trade server all-day-trader is looking for.

its.... rusty.

Added important information and indicators to the user's site-inventory for auctions. Geel "inattentively" forgot to add this important indicators, even after feedback of possible problems on withdrawing that arose from this missing information. So it took us a long time to figure out what was actually the problem, since Geel was not contactable since he released auctions into the wild. Many people complained about lost items after canceling a trade offer, or another error related to the trade offer (another "oversight" from geel). And again, many people declined the trade offer on purpose, because the trade offer did not contain all selected items for withdrawal. (would have been more helpful to figure out the actual cause if most of them didnt claim they "accidentally" declined the trade offer) The disappearing items after a withdrawal will now re-appear after about 10 - 30 minutes. I had to add a cronjob for this task, since Geels bots do NOT automatically update any stale item records in the database, as opposed to him claiming they actually do (they do, but only for deposits!).

its an impersonator

Due to the recent influx of complaints/confusion about bot errors for trivial reasons that were mostly covered in the rules, users will now be automatically redirected to the trade-offer help center page if they encounter a red trade offer error modal on scrap.tf. A notice, like already shown on the item banking sell pages, will be added to the pages where you sell emoticons, steam gifts or killstreak kits. This should hopefully clear things up and cause less confusion. The Update has been committed to http://dev.scrap.tf and will be live in the next few days.

You *could* just copy your entire Steam Folder to an external harddisk and then move it onto your computers new harddisk. No SteamGuard authentification needed at all. Thats also the reason why SteamGuard is basically useless against more sophisticated hijack attempts.

This is what we are telling users to do in the Help section and also on the direct Help topics with the trade offer modal. IF YOU CANT ACCEPT TRADE OFFERS IN YOUR BROWSER; TRY IT IN YOUR STEAM CLIENT, HERES A GUIDE HOW. If people would just take the time to actually read things on their screen, instead of wasting that time to waste our time with complaints about issues that aren't our fault. ;_;

More compact user nav menu. Nothing fancy or big at all, just removed the Username from the nav to make more space for the item search bar (it is overseen by users a lot!). Also, this: If you ask yourself: "Why is this even necessary, I know what I am doing!" Just look at the refunds section. Revamped Key Banking Page Just made keybanking a bit more accessible by revamping the layout/design of it.

Well, depends on your situation and your outlook for the future. Let me give an example in which I assume that someone is looking for someone to buy a bills at "full price" (whatever that is, probably backpack.tf price which is almost always behind)... 4 Months ago, Bills hat were bought by us for about 4-5 keys. The user preferred to not sell to us because he thought he could find someone who will pay him more. So he looked on outpost, waited for hours on trade servers, checked every forum... ...after about a month the price of bills was updated on backpack.tf, because no one seemed to sell it anymore at its listed price. The user was shocked: "Oh damn, the price is now lower! I need to get rid off the bills ASAP!". ..he visited scrap.tf and, to his own disappointment, the price we bought bills for was even lower than before. Again he tried to find someone paying him more for the hat. Conclusion: It would have not been not worth it for the user to sell the hat to scrap.tf at any point in time, because apparently he really enjoyed the entertaining time he had on the trading forums and trading servers while searching for a buyer. He met some nice people and heard some funny jokes, also got to know a few new memes. And now you decide for yourself. Is there someone you can sell the bills hat right now for more, or would you need to put up substantial effort and time to find a buyer?

The panic is mostly over. Key sales have gone back to the normal ~600 per day (instead of 1000-1500/day during the crash) and the sold keys are bought immediately by other users.

API = Everything that you can access from the world wide web, e.g. your backpack on sell pages, your inventory on backpack.tf or your owned games on steamroulette. GC = Everything that your game client needs to access your stuff (your backpack and loadout ingame, doing trades and crafting for you, matchmaking stats and finding)

too bad there is nothing we can do about it. write an angry letter to someone who works at valve, maybe it will help.

Free2Play users are now shown a notice and their trade-restricted items are no longer selectable. Only had a crate storage F2P to test, but as you can see on the left side, the noise maker is no longer shown. (F2Ps are not allowed to trade it away, but premiums can trade it away. The crates were traded to the F2P alt from my main and are therefore tradeable for F2Ps) The big issue with this is, that the Steam WebAPI does not mark F2P-untradeable items as not tradeable. The F2P restriction only applies on steamcommunity.com - so I had to use an alternate method to load backpacks for free2play people... unfortunately this other method doesnt provide all the item information the webAPI would provide, but they have to deal with it. I doubt F2Ps will have such valuable items where this extra information actually matters... and after all they can just double check their trade offers before accepting them, a sane thing everyone should do with every trade offer anyways. Hopefully, free2play users will be less confused now and stop getting frustrated by the "A problem occured, this is a problem on steams side" error.

FTFY

Completely rewritten the class and slot filters, they should be much faster now and should not lock up your browser anymore. Also, thanks to Geel you can now do a fulltext search on banking pages (it will match the item's title and the text in it's infobox that shows on hover), so you can, for example, search for certain levels by typing "Level: 42" into the filter box.

"Hide Items I Have"-Filter now also hides untradeable/uncraftable weapons from the bot inventory if you own them already. Until now, the "hide Items I have" filter was not as useful as it should have been, since untradeable and uncraftable weapons were not recognized. Not anymore! To enable this filter, you first have to toggle the Filter panel by clicking this icon: Now you can check the option "Hide Items I have" Attention: If you cannot click the checkbox it means that the website was unable to load your backpack contents from Steam in the first try. To save resources we will not automatically retry fetching your backpack, so you unfortunately need to reload the page in this case. It might also be possible that your untradeable weapons won't be detected, this depends on which method the website currently uses to get your backpack contents (depending on Steam service availability).

Sticky header on banking pages After a lot of pain and suffering, this new GUI feature should be fully polished now! Previously, you had to scroll trough a mile long bot inventory full of stuff, select some items from the middle and then scroll all the way up again to reach the trade buttons! Now, you still have to scroll trough a mile long bot inventory full of stuff, but you no longer need to expose your scroll finger to unnecessary strain from scrolling all the way up or down to click the trade now button! You can customize the sticky header, which by default is activated and also contains the bot menu. (Please note: If your window or device screen is too small, the bot menu will be automatically hidden) Don't like the new sticky header? You can always enable/disable it with this little pin/unpin button: Just dont want the bot selection to be in your way? No problem, you can hide the botlist from the sticky header! Just scroll down a bit until the header becomes sticky and then click the eye icon to hide the list in sticky mode (it will still appear when you scroll back up!). You want to see the bot list again in the sticky header? As you wish! If you have hidden the bot list, you can re-enable it in the sticky header by clicking the eye icon when you are on the top of the page (header is not pinned).

Improved help pages and "intelligent" user assistance system. This one has been out for a while already, but it could still need some more attention and feedback. Read more about it here: http://forum.scrap.tf/index.php?/topic/365-the-new-scraptf-help-center-beta/

In this thread we will keep you up to date on new features or changes that could interest you. Most of these features will be accessible a few days (sometimes weeks) earlier on http://dev.scrap.tf - our testing server where we test things before they go out in the wild. You are invited to subscribe to this thread to be the first to know. If you want to give constructive feedback or bug reports on new updates, feel free to do so! Please look if there is already a thread for it, and if not, create one yourself, we will do our best to please most of our users with the changes we made.

Geel is now a phishing bot.

giftfarming isnt really worth it anymore. you get one gift every 3 hours with the risk of not stacking up your gifts because you dont confirm the drop while idling. this means, 95% out of the time all players on the server just idle around getting absolutely nothing. Its more effective to just hop on a halloween server every 3 hours to collect your gift. Btw, the new halloween map does not drop gifts anymore. If they might come back in a few days, because the regular servers arent used that much anymore, is up to Jesse.
