What can I do if I list an item on bitskins, but I can't find it in "MY LISTINGS FOR SALE" and I don't have it in my inventory. Now bitskins is sending me trade offers with my full inventory like az error code, but it wants my whole inv

Is it scam site? My friend bought a knife, an ak-47 neon revolution and an m4a4 neo noir and not get scammed

Ask support on the shady site you are using. This has nothing to do with Steam.

How it works is you allow an API key to interact with your inventory.

Everyone randomly, will lost their entire inventory because of the API key; the items will usually be taken at once, randomly. Because if they just outright took everyones inventory upon authorization of the API key, Steam would be more inclined to ban the name in usernames, and filter the site name even without the .com.

So, this allows them to continue the scam for a while, by making it appear as legitimate by letting people use it normally as if it's a legitimate site.

Don't buy stuff off-site, it can get your account in trouble as well.

So I just lose them, but If I won't accept I won't lose anything?

You lost the security of your entire inventory the moment you let that site interact with your inventory, the API can do as it wishes even without Steam Guard.

Chances are you'll lose the item regardless.

Deauth all devices, remove the API key, change your password.

You know in a ponzi scam, quite a few people do make a profit and everything seems great for a while. They tell all their friends. Everyone gets on board. But over time one person here, one person there, everyone starts having an issue. Weeks, months, maybe years later it implodes.

What if inventory scam websites were like that, but more subtle? Why not facilitate a lot of activity and build trust and skim whatever you want off the top? Not too much, not enough to frighten the userbase, but once in a while a user is going to learn a hard lesson. Oh they won't be able to convince everyone else "who's never had a problem". And there's pretty much an endless supply of users trying to profit from the item system. Ripping off like 0.5% of users a little bit at a time would be pretty clever, right? You could keep that going pretty much indefinitely.

TL:DR; Ever hear of the "long con"?

So? If those items are either stolen or laundered, that means your friends account can get community banned. Trading or purchasing outside of the market or windows through the Steam platform carries numerous risks from obtaining stolen goods, getting scammed or seeing your account hijacked.

If you need help with anything regarding these sites then you'll have to go direct through them.
