Why trading is broken for me valve!

[Srksi]

Since yesterday, cant do damn trade! Items I put on market, are just showing on my list, but not on market. Only one trade passed, idk by what miracle, after 50 confirm tries maybe.! Why valve why!

Are you using moblie authenticator ? without a smart phone, you need to wait 15 days to be able to trade or sell on the market.

Hi there ! Having the exact same problem here. I'm just wondering why there isn't more talk about this, does it only affect a handful of people ? Cause a lot of the people in my friendlist i talk to say they're having trouble trading too. Does anyone here have any idea on how to get valve's attention on this problem ?

People dont talk cos its ordinarry thing that hapens often, but Im mad cos I have good trade witch I cant do, so I just whine here even I know valve wont read it

I have been trading everyday for some time now and believe me there is nothing ordinary about this. I'm guessing the valve servers are under a lot of stress from the recent tf2 update but it might be something unrelated. One thing is sure there is a problem and it needs fixing.

This is help and tips for things we can help with, not a rant forum where you whine without providing information asked for in order to get you that help.

If you just want to whine, we really don't care. Just like this thread of yours linked below that you never replied to...

Well that was neither helpful, nor a tip. Since there is no option to contact valve in order to ask them to fix the problem, the only option left is to "whine" here in the hopes that someone who can do something will take notice.

Yes there is an option to contact them. You use Steam support.

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1223-qroc-4460

The ones that "will take notice" here are other users that can maybe help with the problem, but that often requires us asking questions so we have a better idea what the problem actually is. The OP was asked a question and never answered it.

I'm pretty sure he has mobile authenticator from what he said. If you have been trading yesterday or today you might have had the same problem. It might just affect tf2 trading. I think it has to do with the new update, i'm guessing they didn't anticipate the toll that matchmaking system would take on their servers, and for some reason trading gets the bad end of it...

"Pretty sure" is not good enough. And OP can answer that just fine if it does indeed apply. Again, we start simply here and ask questions to try to get a better understanding of what the actual issue is and that means the questions need to be answered before we know what to ask next.

With all due respect your "guessing" that matchmaking is affecting trading does not mean that trading is "broken" for everyone, otherwise the forums would be flooded with threads right now of people not being able to trade at all.

I will wait for the OP to reply to this thread and continue if he or she wants help, if we can help, after answering the question that was asked and skipped right over in order to reply to you.

Thanks for your insight. So i'm guessing i should make my own post about this then ? What section would be most appropriate ? This one ? Steam Community ? I don't see any trading section...

Are you stupid or you are here to just annoy people? And why the hell you are looking on my posts???
When there is problem that only valve can fix, I must whine! You wont see on steam any normal notice in style: "we have difficulty trading servers expected to last xxx days" Yetis are seen often that valve employs on forum, and if I wrote to steam support, it will be answered 20 days after they fix it. So only option I have, like guy with next comment said best is: the only option left is to "whine" here in the hopes that someone who can do something will take notice, always with risk stumbling on people like you...

Too bad that no one from support will see this as these are user forums only, and support does not look here. And in these user forums, we can post freely and "look on" anyone's posts that we wish as long as we try to help, which is was we are exactly doing.

Some have taken notice here. One of them asked you a question. You did not answer it.

I will kindly ask you again, using that very same post...

It is also cute how you would call ME stupid, but you are the one making a post towards Valve here, thinking that anyone from Valve will see it...

OK OK, Im sorry, Im sorry! You didn't showed your badge so I couldn't recognize you :)

Yes, all is ok with autentificator, yesterday trading didnt worked well, 3 hours couldnt do one trade, second passed like I said by some miracle after 50 tries. Thingies I wanted to post on market was posted successfully, but didnt showed on market. This morning didnt worked still and I was mad and wroted this post. I rechecked again now, trading worked successfully in one try, but thingies still wont hit market.

Thanks very much for the detailed reply and no need to apologize to me, actually, as I was not offended. I was just trying to motivate you to provide more information here and you did. Thanks again.

It is very possible that the network is just having issues right now and needs time to recover.

Have you tried to trade at different hours to see if that can show improvement and success ?

Now just to be clear, you are trying to trade from your mobile device or from a computer ?

You said above that trading worked succssfully this morning in one try, but the "still won't hit market". Does that mean that items you are listing are not showing up still ?

What are the items that you are trying to put on on the market that are not showing up ? Some examples, please.

Are you sure that these items don't have any holds on them for any reason ?

"What is a market hold?"

"A market hold is a period of time after a sell listing is created where the items are held by Steam before they are available on the Community Market."

Here is a guide that may have some helpful info if you are using a mobie to trade.
