How does marketplace.tf work exactly?

[Et tu, B?]

These are my questons
-Do you afterwards have to trade for it or is it like a temporary ammount of time before you get the item you wanted?
-How can I find out if an item is a legacy paint cosemedic? (legacy painted items are items that are bugged either by missing a sploch/no paint name in the desc, these are pretty much impossible to do now because of bug fixes)

[tummy]

you pay with paypal, and then they send you a trade, all my items are from marketplace

[trash]

you provide the site your trade url, set up payment info and get it validated, and after making a purchase + the site processing payment and all that, the bots will send you a trade offer that includes the item

I also have a question, will the bots automatically refuse a trade if the buyer has no mobile authentication?

no, the buyer does not need mobile authentication since they arent trading any items to the site.

the authenticator isn't required for receiving items

they can refuse items you send if the item is overstocked, requires special permission (refined metal), or if you're banned on backpack.tf

marketplace.tf no longer allows users to sell their own items on the site, but they still sell items for cash just as they always have
if you're only going there to buy items, nothing has changed, aside from the prices being higher due to lack of seller competition

[McQueeny]

hey guys, when trading with the bots, is there something that I must put into the trade? Or do they just give me the items?

I wanna ask if there is any problem if I buy stuff from Marketplace.tf, but my account haven't been protected by Steam guard for 15 days, and I cant even use the community market. So is it still possible to buy stuff from Marketplace.tf or do I have to just wait?

Nah, you aren't giving them items
