Nobody will give you your items back. You leaked your account information. That's how they got in.

Follow these steps:
1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from a clean computer
4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)

I don't think valve compensates users for what was lost due to their account getting compromised,

The info you need:

Secure your account:
- Scan for malware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/
- Deauthorize all devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
- Change your password on a secure device.
- Generate new back up codes. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
- Revoke the api key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

Find out how you leaked your credentials. Phishing and malware are the two ways it happens, phishing is the most likely one. Either way, find out how you leaked your credentials.

Items are gone, they do not get returned nor will you get money back for them. The item restoration policy: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9958-MJDG-3003

Not all items require confirmation. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/community_market/announcements/detail/1705067494681435160

Market transactions are final. You won't be refunded.

the refund policy is for STORE purchases, not market purchases and transactions.

I mean what I said. Market transactions are final. The refund policy is for things bought in the Steam store, like games, DLC and such. The community market does NOT fall under the refund policy.

You won't be getting your money back.

No, they're not. The law isn't a convenience card you can wave around to get your way.

But if you are convinced a law is broken, go see a lawyer.

It sucks to be in your position, but it doesn't change reality. Sugarcoating things or giving false hope won't help you either.

It might all sound blunt, but it's sadly the truth.

It sucks, but accounts are only stolen if users compromise them first by exposing their info. Valve used to refund purchases and take actions to help but it was WIDELY abused to the point they had to stop offering it.

You should identify how you compromised your account so you can make sure it doesnt happen again

Nope, nowhere do they tell you that you can refund marketplace transactions - https://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds/?snr=

The Steam refund offer, within two weeks of purchase and with less than two hours of playtime, applies to games and software applications on the Steam store.

None of that is a market place transaction.
