Trade banned for proven scamming ?
2 weeks ago I got permanently banned with words "proven scamming" while I only legitimely trade via Buff, Skinbaron and Skinport. Steam refuses to provide information and re-check my chats and trade history as I have never scammed anyone !
Here are my tips:
1) I got banned for item someone scammed but I do NOT cooperate with scammers consciously!
2) As there is 90% of scammers nowadays and everyone is full of doubts, I must have received reports, but as I have never scammed anyone, there is no evidence except blank offers from buff.163 and Skinbaron.de bots which may look suspicious but NOBODY got scammed.

As my inventory has value of 8000€ I have became the victim by getting my valuable skins locked with no option to defend myself as Steam support keeps closing tickets with automatic responses. I doubt that anyone has re-viewed my case otherwise I would not be banned.

I have provided all the details but there is no cooperation and support at all. Trading via bots from these sites is at own risk but not forbidden or is it? Did I get banned for using Skinbaron, Buff? Any idea how to get Valves attention and actual help?

ah you again.
Valve collect data. Tons of it. They use "several" data points when they ban your account.
The 3 accounts you seem to be tied with, all scream scam activity. Literally.
Accounts leading of from them even have fake representatives... get out'a here.

Seen it more than enough to confidently say they have their man/account.

So using Buff and Skinbaron is equal to scamming? Trading does not even exist without these nowadays, every streamer, pro player uses these ...

This is why all third party sites are "use at your own risk". You risked it, and lost. Better luck next time.

The problem is I am being accused of scamming which did not happen. I must have gotten reports as there is 90% of scammers and everyone has doubts and I got blank offers from bot in history which may look suspicious to support if they do not check chats and those bots. I might also get into hands item that got scammed and do not know about it. They cannot even tell the details.. :(

Trust me they did and that is why you are banned.

If you keep spamming this everywhere, that account will be community banned as well, which would mean you can't trade with that one, either.

They did...


Review --->> Apply ban

That is how it works, They do not ban first and review later.

The thing is I have been legitimely trading for 10+ years, clean steamrep.com and it has already happened to me once that I got falsely banned for item somebody stole.. and as I trade more items there is propably a chance and it is happening again, another option is thing with bots or also I could get banned instead of impersonator pretending to be me. My conscience is clear and evidence is 100% invalid

Another possible case is that I got permanently banned for trading with site bots which millions of people use daily so that would be weird

Only support can assist you.

No one here can do anything.

Bots didn't cause your ban. This is an old excuse that has never worked.

You really need to start reading what people are telling you. The penalties on your other account are permanent. If you keep spamming with the account that you're posting with now, the same thing will happen to that account.

Thousands of people use those sites to buy and sell and they are not banned.
