Trades won't give me anything; items disappearing (Solved)

[your soul is dangerous]

Every time I send or receive a trade offer, I will be offered no items on my receiving end, even from bots. I've tried accepting a trade like this anyways as a test, and twice with different people my items disappeared, appearing in neither of our inventories... any help would be immensely appreciated.

Stop signing into phising sites

Your account might be compromised and is funneling items to a bot account that appears to look like your actual friends.

I have not done trading on any type of site except on backpack.tf and trading servers in-game, perhaps someone tried to take advantage of my account. What should I do if my account has been compromised?

Check trade history. What does it say about the trades?

One trade shows up as two different trades for some reason, one where I declined their offers and another where they accepted my offers without giving me anything.

Common steps:

• Scan for malware on your main device.
  
• Deactivate all devices with Steam except for the current one (only do this on your main computer after scanning for malware or any other device).
  
• Check the Steam API key. If there’s anything in it then REMOVE IT RIGHT AWAY.
  
• Reset and record your backup keys.

These days kids make a topic about everything when almost everything they can find easily when using the search or google

I rather wonder why steam to this day lets this trade remote control happen.

The whole point of trade verification is that people losing their account dont lose their items.
But there is a function that lets hijackers exchange trades in realtime.

Which the user still confirms.

It's simple, really.

1. User creates trade.
2. User goes to get the smart phone.
3. Hijacker cancels the trade.
4. Hijacker recreated the trade with a new target.
5. User does not properly check the new trade in the Steam Mobile Authenticator
6. User ignores warnings in the Steam Mobile Authenticator (for example: Target is not on your friendlist).
7. User confirms the new trade.

In the end, the user is to blame. For compromising the account and not checking the trade(s) properly.
