How come bots are able to make 'Strange X' buy orders but normal people aren't?

[Toad]

If you try to put up a buy order for a 'Strange X' item, it won't appear. But it appears bots are able to.

Examples:
https://backpack.tf/stats/Strange Haunted/Kriegsmaschine-9000/Tradable/Craftable

 

For the last several months, strange unusuals could seemingly only be listed by bots, just noticed most are gone too but not all, examples: 

https://backpack.tf/stats/Strange Unusual/Big Chief/Tradable/Craftable/57

https://backpack.tf/stats/Strange Unusual/Bomb Beanie/Tradable/Craftable

What's going on?

I can confirm this problem, I just tried myself and it doesn't appear for me either

guess is that they broke it but that any old orders (primarily bots) can be continually bumped and they still show

I have many strange x old buy orders, none of them no longer appear.

Worked for me. The listing just doesn't show unless you remove the strange quality filter from the classifeds search.

 

With "Elevated Quality: Strange" filter checked, my buy order listing doesn't show:

 

 

But after I unchecked the "Elevated Quality: Strange" filter, my Strange Haunted dual-quality buy order listing is shown.

For me its the Fabricator buy orders, on the stats page only 2-3 listing shows up which are always bots, on many fabricator weaps i made buy order for higher price than the bots and my listing is never shown, if people cant see it, they cant trade it, not everyone clicks on expand to see buyers,
example :- https://backpack.tf/stats/Unique/Professional Killstreak Fabricator/Tradable/Craftable/6526-6-199
https://backpack.tf/classifieds?item=Shotgun&quality=6&tradable=1&craftable=1&australium=-1&killstreak_tier=3&item_type=target
im the higher buyer and still not shown, idk how to fix this

How come the bot listings appear when strange quality is checked?

Must have something to do with the difference between "stats" pages and "classifieds" pages I would assume. For some unknown reason, only Automatic users seem to have their listings shown on stats pages for certain types of items.

Someone pasted an issue report on backpack tf with a similar problem: https://backpack.tf/issue/603951b05ca21d78f531b5fb

That's huge. I would think most users go to the big price list page -> click on item they want -> are brought to the page where only 'automatic' trades are shown

That's a huge bias for bot users.
