El Sumbruro Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hey, this is my first time on bptf forums so forgive me if I'm doing a lot of stuff wrong like if I'm in the wrong forum or something. So, Yesterday I made a trade with someone I met on firepowered. We agreed that I would pay 17 Keys and 35 ref for a hat he had. I miscounted and accidently added 21 Keys and 35 ref. I didn't notice because I thought I counted them right. When I noticed like an hour after I immediately added him and left a comment on why I added him. About 15 hours later I think I checked to see if he got back online. He was and my comment was gone. I think he had blocked me because it gave me an error everytime. I thought well s*ht I guess I lost profit. I then saw him on Vatican and tried to trade him for which he ignored and left the server. He also privated his account. I told my buddy about it and said I should -rep him on bptf. Can I do that? Or am I in the wrong for miscounting? Thanks for everything in advance. P.S I have since sold the unusual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gand Pika Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 i suppose if you got proof of both agreeing for 17k 35r, put that and the ss of trade that did happen and ss of error you get showing he blocked you and yeah -rep on bp.tf, it is not a trust worthy behaviour in my opinion. tho i dont think he'll get banned for it, since he didnt make you put the wrong amount although, not saying that you did can be counted as sharking. eh, either way -rep if you got the proof^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get one of my friends who had him added to send a message before he blocked me. We found out he blocked the both of us. I don't have any proof so ig I won't leave a -rep jt sucks that I lost profit though :[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was an honest mistake on my side I thought that in the trade I added 17 but I put an extra row of Keys in it without realizing so it should of been 4x4 but I put 4x5 as a mistake. It's whatever the was just wondering if a -rep would be applicable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApothicЯ Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Well sorry for the guys above that are not really helping (c'mon he's asking for help, and all you find is to make fun of him... Shame) I admit it can be confusing sometimes to see the row of keys being 3 on mobile, 4 on desktop, 5-6 in trade offers. Mistakes happen... If the trade occurred less than 2 weeks ago, you could find again the chat history there : https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/GetFriendMessagesLog When taking the screenshot of the agreement, be sure highlighting the profile of the trader by passing your cursor on his name (this will prove that's the right profile, changing names and making it private won't change anything to it). Then take a screenshot of your trade (also showing the URL by passing the cursor on the profile picture, and also a screenshot of the full description of the item involved in the trade). You could add your friend's chat log. It could make a solid -rep (the guy might give you back the keys to see it removed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob the Unsymmetrical Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 if you asking if reporting him on BP and -trust'ing him can help. No, even if you do, it will be seen as an invalid, as you were the one who sent the keys to the person. If anything, you are the one responsible for making the trade and making sure everything is in order. Will this guy be off scot-free? Well yes, what he did is morally questionable (or even wrong at some sense), but is not an action that will lead to him getting banned. To avoid a repeat of this happening again, I highly suggest downloading scripts to aid in your trading endeavours. Chrome extensions like Trade Offer Enhancer will help you put in keys all in one trade and show an overview of what items are there on each side without needing to count. https://github.com/juliarose/steam-trade-offer-enhancer https://github.com/Nuklon/Steam-Economy-Enhancer Many people use the first one (also known as the Julia script), I myself use both. Download them and try it for yourself. In other words, make sure to TRIPLE CHECK all your trades from now on. As people usually are quite unforgiving when it comes to making small mistakes like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clearing it up tho. As for the chrome extensions, I already have Julia's script. The trade happened in game, I will triple check every trade from now on.

Really right now I don't have any proof, sucks that I can't make a valid -rep without any. Thank you for ur reply regardless though, I really appreciate people like you taking time and helping people like me. Your really good person :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
