If the person is marked as a scammer on SteamRep: no

If the person is banned on Backpack.tf for trading with scammers or just for breaking any other Backpack.tf rules unrelated to scamming: yes

tl;dr Can you trade them? Yes

Can you trade them repeatedly? No

Should you trade them? Up to you, but I'd say no

Looking at just the inventory I'd wager they've definitely taken a few people for a ride, so for safetys sake I'd say don't trade them lest you want to be alike the others. However, it could just be an off circumstance that they've gotten bp banned for doing something that breaches rules etc

Why are you not allowed to trade someone repeatedly? Would someone get in trouble for trading with me repeatedly?

Ban reason on your profile is basically saying 'this guy's one step off being a straight-up scammer'

Trading with scammers is a problem because if people are openly trading with them, how much is really gained from banning scammers? They just offload their crap a known unbanned trader (aka a fence) and it's like nothing happened besides them not being able to list their items themselves. The purpose of the ban system is to shut scammers out of the trading ecosystem (at least somewhat).

Meant to say you can't repeatedly trade people banned for being a scammer on backpack.tf if they aren't banned on SteamRep.
