My Items Say They Are Market and Trade Locked For a Year

[tm103]

I bought some rust skins and it says they will be tradeable and marketable after 2021-12-01 how is this happening.

Not sure how you ended up with that date code format but I would assume that to represent January 12, 2021.

Tradelock to make fraud and scams harder i guess? Like csgo, idk because i didnt play any other game lately

If you're a year off from January 12, 2021, then you're in for one hell of a 2020 still.

Trade holds are put on many if not most items.

You are reading the date wrong. It'll be on hold until the 12th of January, which is next tuesday.

Outside the US, most of the world uses the day/month/year or year/day/month system. The US uses month/day/year.

So where are they getting year/day/month from because that is wack.

Yeah, I know timezones are a thing and Steam is global but I'm pretty sure there's not a mysterioous pacific island somewhere where the gravity well is that strong that they're a year out.

Classic "forgot what year we're in" I guess ;)

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Japan, Korea and China to name a few countries that do use that format.

More like classic "which one is month and which one is date"
It happened quite often for people that use different date format

No more so than others who use different date formats.

I worked in computers right from leaving school in the early 1980s. This was a the time when computers were a bit of a wild west. We had mainframes, and a shedload of various home/business computers (the accountants used). They often flitted between all the usual date formats. It depended how the system displayed it back then, and how the software to print data was setup.

And can you guess which date formats this forgetting it's a new year happened for? It didn't.
All of them the same.

Then I later worked in insurance and progressed to various other adminstrative work. I'd get cheques from several countries in the world. Can you guess again which format had this error happening the most? Again, no difference.

So no, I don't think't even remotely logical. We all do it and have done it myself.
