Your friend request/trade offer will be declined if you fail to meet these requirements.
You will be blocked if you are banned any of the sites listed on rep.tf, regardless of the reason.
Note: friend requests/trade offers will be declined if SR, TF2OP or bp.tf is offline.

You can either send a trade offer or do a normal trade.

Bot is unresponsive if it is in-game. (it is crafting/smelting some metal)

Get the {LINK REMOVED}enhanced trade offer script to add metal conveniently and see a quick summary of the items in the offer.

If you want to use a normal trade just send a friend request.
Put up your items and say ready in the trade chat. (bot will add keys/metal after you say ready)

Troubleshooting

1) If you send a friend request to the bot and receive the following message:

"This user's profile settings prevent you from contacting them at this time."
then you are marked a scammer on SteamRep, or banned on TF2OP/backpack.tf and you are blocked from using the bot.

"Error adding friend. Please try again."
then you didn't meet the requirements for using this bot.
Please check your profile and inventory status.
To solve this error block and unblock the bot.

2) The trade times out a lot.

Check the Community/TF2 API status here: {LINK REMOVED}https://steamgaug.es/
If the either the Community or TF2 API is down you can try again later or try sending a trade offer.

3) Trade Offer errors.

If you get an error 26 you should refresh the page. (the items you selected are already traded away)

For any other error:
Check your inventory capacity and the bots inventory capacity.
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you didn't trigger steam guard.
If this doesn't work you can try again later.

4) Trade offer is declined instead of counter offered.

You might not meet the requirements.
False positive for not meeting the requirements, due to unstable Steam API.
You have 5 pending trade offers.
You tried to trade too many items at once.
It also sometimes declines offers for reasons unknown to me.

Check if you meet the requirements, if you do, try again in a few minutes.
Reduce your pending trade offers.
Try to trade less items at once.
Send the trade offer for the exact amount.
Send a one sided trade offer.

5) Trade offer is not responded to.

The bot can sometimes not accept/decline an offer due to steam errors 20 and 28.
You can use the "offer" command to try reload the bot offers.
