HusKy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tradingcards#announcements/detail/1621587917383592834 "Trade URL" for third-party sitesOn the new "Who can send me trade offers?" page, you'll also find a "Trade URL", which is a personalized URL you can share with other users to let them send you trade offers. You can use this URL on third-party sites, in chat rooms, or in group forums like this group's Trading forum. You can also create a new Trade URL at any time, which will make the old link inactive. Trade offers have been updated and now anyone can send you a trade offer as long as you provide your private trade offer URL. This could be quiet easily implemented into the current trading websites. No need to add random people to your friends list anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HusKy Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Has anyone tested if you get proper notification for this? The green "envelope thingy" is useless and might go unnoticed for the next hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Pitt Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yep, this is good news. I was going to build an offer system into the classifieds, but let's say something's coming in the next update =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeo282 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Did you guys get any trade from this yet? I posted my link out there for more than a day, but have not got a single offer yet. Is this feature too new or glitchy or people just too worry about phishing link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 That was my thought exactly, it looks like a phishing link Also, it's still way too new and I bet around 90% or more people don't know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this feature too new or glitchy or people just too worry about phishing link. I got a trade offer from this but it wasn't worth it. I was asleep when the offer came in and responded as soon as I awoke. I also accepted a random add and made a trade with another guy. It all depends on whether the player is planning to stay around their computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next update could allow to us to auto accept a certain type of offers like a buyout of X number of keys. Along with integration with outpost and classified to bypass the phishing worrying, trade could be done without both party ever adding or chatting with each other.

I can't see valve and working with OP to come up with an integrated trade system. And then i seriously doubt valve would add any automatic system.

HusKy Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Making automated system would make them liable for completed trades. I can only imagine people asking support for their stuff back, because they incorrectly selected items in the "auto trading panel" Also, it needs a proper notification or it's just useless.

And then i seriously doubt valve would add any automatic system. Lol, not that level of integration. I am thinking about a new button on outpost just like the quick add friend button. The button will be for trade offers. It will work when the poster activate this feature by adding a working and appropriate link in their account setting, and any phishing link will not work. Without the risking of phishing, this new feature will be used a lot more. I really wish Outpost and classified take advantage of this new feature soon. As of now, I have yet received a single trade offer yet because no one trust the links probably. Making automated system would make them liable for completed trades. I can only imagine people asking support for their stuff back, because they incorrectly selected items in the "auto trading panel" Also, it needs a proper notification or it's just useless. I don't know if Valve actually reverses accidental trades. Never dealt with that problem in my years of trading. Usually both party of trade just be extra careful. Beside, Valve give give us double confirmation for a reason. However, I do wish they give me a number when I add many copy of identical items, counting 30 + key a few time to make sure can getting annoying. Regardless, Valve is no more responsible for automatic system than manual one. It is still our responsibility to double confirm each time. I doubt this is the reason why the auto trade is not created yet because Steam Market is their auto trade system and Valve is cashing in massively. Eventually, they will expand it to allow every type of items to be trade. When that happen, us trader might be out of business. I seriously hope that Valve will give us trader more support by giving us auto trade to compete with Steam Market. Of course, it will be stupid to support a market that they can't tax. However, this new feature give me hope that Valve might not have abandon us. If they actually do add auto trade system for us, I might actually start worshiping Gabe.

He was saying people would cry to valve and valve support would have to deal with a lot of stupid reports. 2) Ctrl/Cmd + F is your friend. 3) They wouldn't be but they would be flooded with tickets. Its the same reason they have a no pp stance--they don't want to deal with the complaints--they don't care if you trade pp, they just want to be able to tell people: "We don't support paypal, go waste there time not ours."

❤ΣκαπανέαςGr❤ Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Did you guys get any trade from this yet? I posted my link out there for more than a day, but have not got a single offer yet. Is this feature too new or glitchy or people just too worry about phishing link. i got more than 10 trade offers in the first day by random guys mostly ppl are after my strangifiers and strange miscs. still i profit more to sell them in market though so i havent accept any of the offers yet... i think as time goes by ppl will abandon lowball tactics and this tool is helping me to figure out if someone deserves to be added in my friend lists for future trade negotiations or permanently banned from my trades...

Hipsta Jayzus Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 My favorite thing besides their convenience is when someone offers me a random lowball, I just counter with something insanely high so that they squirm. "Oh neat, someone offered me 1 bud on my scorching hat... I'll counter that by offering my scorching hat for their entire TF2 and Steam inventory" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HusKy Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 I have received 1 or 2 trade offers but by the time I noticed, it was already unavailable. It needs proper notifications just like regular chat messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs proper notifications just like regular chat messages. Yeah I want to too. Including playing a sound (that would be nice for friend requests as well). Edit: Wowow I accepted another one (also declined one). What a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
