Why are my items trade locked?

[dhen]

Recently, I traded a CSGO skin for 2 keys. I had no problems accepting the trade offer and the trade went smoothly. I received the keys and my trading partner received the skin. However, the keys that i received are trade locked for 7 days. Why is that?

That's due a trading update by Valve.

Starting today, CS:GO items received in trade will have the same seven-day trade cooldown as items purchased in-game or via the Steam Community Market.

Over time, third-parties have developed services that use automated Steam accounts to mimic players and make use of Steam’s trading functionality. Unfortunately, some of these third party services have become a vector for fraud or scams. Unlike players, these services rely on the ability to trade each item very frequently. In contrast, a given item moves between actual players no more than once a week in the vast majority of cases.

It actually isn't. It did a lot of good.
