You gave the items away. You gifted them. So you can report the user on their profile, but remember, it looks exactly like you gave away the items.

Because that is what you did. You did not use the trading system properly.

Scammed items will not be returned or restored.

why didnt you do the trade in ONE trading window? There is no need to Gift items unless they are actual gifts.

We can't trade because the TI7 immortals are not tradable yet. Can someone from steam banned his account ? I can show screenshots that he admitted to scam those items.

they can, but you have to first report the account thru its profile. When they get to the report, they will look at it and make a decision.

They will not ban an account because you asked, they will ban an account if they find evidence of a scam.

remove the link, thats name and shaming (against the rules)

Trade Scam FAQ

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3415-WAFH-6433

"What kind of trades should I avoid?"

Do not trade for anything that cannot be added into the Steam trading window. The most common examples of these types of trades include:

(snip)

Trading items/gifts for nothing in return in the first trade and expecting to get an item or gift in a later trade. There is no reason to not trade everything in one trade. You may add unlimited items/gifts to a single trade. A common example of this is using a middleman to facilitate a one sided trade.

Steam Item Restoration Policy

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9958-MJDG-3003

Steam Support does not restore items that have left accounts for any reason, including trades, market transactions, deletions, or gifting.

User evidence will not be considered. And if the item was not tradeable, then you should have not tried to bypass that.

When you bypass things, you accept the responsibility.

I would kindly suggest you remove that link to the accused above. Naming and shaming is not allowed.

No, we will not report anyone. Because we were not scammed. YOU have to do the reporting.

Then next time, you will be prepared.

You should read the Trade Scam FAQ, please. It was linked above.

So, you gave away the items, and did not follow the proper trading proceedure, so that is Valve's fault now ?

Perhaps you should please "care" more to follow the proper trading practices in the future, please. They make it so you cannot get scammed by doing this, therefore proving they DO care.
