Yurchik* Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Do anyone know why Jarool was trade banned? https://backpack.tf/u/76561198021055079 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Alex Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 This is "Backpack.tf Forum" so you could've said "Trade Banned on Steam" to make it clear and avoid possible confusion. And I'm curious myself, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lk Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Christ, If he doesn't get unbanned all those hats are basically "deleted" from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humann Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Jesus, I'm pretty sure this is because of the impersonators. and Valve showing us that they're completely incompetent (as always). 64k, this is the biggest trade ban ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roi Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 investing on steam huge amounts always a bad idea considered how bad and poor their customer service is. I hope this guy gets unbanned if he got banned by mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melancholy Sky Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 If i had to make a guess i'd assume it was either a change in location or mobile device and due to the quantity and amount of his trades he makes valve probably flagged it as suspicious. That's just a guess though, could be any range of things. Evidence to support this, it uses the word "currently" which would imply it's just a temporary restriction/ban. Could've also possibly been his account was hijacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah i haven't logged in from any other device outside of the ones i use recently, nor have i changed my mobile. The "temporary" ban lasts for 10 years. As far as i'm concerned, I can only find that info on the SCM. i haven't really looked too much into this yet, the most i've done is sent a support ticket to steam, so hopefully i'll get more info in the next few days (2-3 months). 4 hours ago, Roi said: investing on steam huge amounts always a bad idea Don't worry bout me in terms of finance, i work two casual jobs currently, i never relied on trading as a source of income, nor did i let it affect me irl. But yeah you're right, investing in steam alone is pretty unreliable. Something similar happened to 2OG a few years back, and his issue got resolved within a few days. Difference between this and the 2OG situation is that both 2OG and his impersonators got banned, meanwhile my impersonators are unaffected. I think. I only checked one impersonator's account so i didn't do a thorough search. To answer everyone's question as to why i got banned, i really don't know. I wish i could tell you why, but i only really found out when i got pinged on discord this morning. All the info i have right now is the ban on my profile, and the expiry date on the SCM. There was no notification, no email, nothing. All i can do is wait and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarool Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Logging in on a pc allows me to now see an account alert that I couldn't see on mobile: No new info as to why I'm banned though, unfortunately. Also checked my inventory history to see if anything got moved around, or got deleted, and there's nothing new there, apart from the few SCM listings that got auto-cancelled. Thought maybe I ended up with some fraudulent keys, similar to what was happening with the EoTL keys a couple years back, as I recall they got deleted from people's inventories along with a short trade suspension, but there's no evidence of that happening, nor do I recall trading with anyone suspicious. But hey, I'll keep everyone posted if anything new comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtn Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 if your first ticket gets a negative answer by the support tech, don't give up. just send another ticket and hopefully another support tech will answer, with a better resolution to your problem when I got scammed back in 2015 and tried to recover (a.k.a. dupe) my unusuals. the first support tech who answered my ticket said "ohh we can't do anything, sorry" I didn't give up, and on my THIRD ticket to the support, another support tech answered. he said "Ok, we will recover your unusuals only this time" (I still remember his name until today) that's very unfair and sad. I'm pretty sure you will get unbanned soon. I wish you the best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ŕìɣɛȵ Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Valve will never give you a reason as to any action taken against you, only case I've had was likely with an accidental trigger of their anti fraud when I was buying an unusual a while back to which the lock was removed after a ticket. Steam support is very secretive about why they ban so its likely we would never know, even if its lifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valve had implemented the 1 week wait on all store bought items, including EOTL keys, to prevent credit card fraud, but they accidentally left a loophole with the pile of EOTL key gifts. The gift pile itself had the 1 week wait, but the keys did not have any restrictions whatsoever. Fraudsters would use a throwaway account with a stolen card, get themselves and all their friends crammed into a server, and endlessly pump more EOTL keys into their accounts to trade or sell off.
