[Trading Bug] "Items Now Unavailable to Trade"
I know this bug isn't a new thing anymore but I'm still going to discuss about it.
(Before the trade happens, I got a message that tells me to verify my email, I left it overnight)
A person traded me items, we both accepted it, and the trade seems to be completed.
I logged out right after the trade.
The next morning, I logged in and I still sees that trade notification
I went to verify my email, trade notification was gone.
I clicked in the trade history, checked the trade I "did" and it says "Items Now Unavailable To Trade".
I never received the items, and it's not in it's previous owner's inventory either.
I'm not sure if this is the "Steam Trade Item Hold" thingy or some sort of bug.
(From my perspective the items seems to be "missing")
Does anyone know about this?

P/s: I'm a limited user, but I know it doesn't affect me to receive trade offers and stuffs

The message you saw is not a bug. It is what you see when the items you were trying to trade are no longer available because the owner traded it with someone else and no longer has it in their inventory.

Also, limited account users cannot trade but you are not a limited account user which is why you can trade.

So, is it basically like:
Owner traded the items, he doesn't have it anymore.
Steam guard holds it for a period of time.
Items will appear in my inventory after that period?
Yes I'm a limited user, I can't sent offer but I can receive one.

No, if a trade takes place but one of more items from that trade are successfully traded away to someone else BEFORE the initial trade they offered is accepted by you (so is "officially" on hold/gets the green banner on it), those items are no longer available and shows the message "items now unavailable".

You are not a limited user. I think you mean you have a trade restriction/ban which goes away after the duration that it is given (you can check the date via your market page). You will be able to send offers after that time period. There is no such thing as you not being able to send an offer but you being able to receive one. People can't send you offers until after your ban is lifted.

What I am guessing (purely a guess) happened is you started a trade during which course you ended up with a trade restriction because you used a new device or maybe cleared your cache etc.. they trade stayed viewable on your screen but was not completed because you were now restricted. The trader you traded with now traded the items with someone else since the trade with you was not taking place.

So,as you say the items did traded away...but where is it now?

By limited user I mean I never purchase on steam, I don't have to access to certain features of Steam(initiate a trade, send friend request and so on). Accepting a trade offer isn't among the restrictions I'm having. I never get a ban either.

During the trade I never switch device or clear my browser cache. The trade took place in-game, via game overlay.

You mean the trader traded the items to someone else? I'm not sure if that happens but the chances are small.

Oh, right. Sorry. You're right. I just checked your level and presumed it was an unlimited account but it is just an older account from before Steam changed things up. In which case what you said are all correct and it is much simpler. It just means the person who was trading with you most likely finished trading the items with someone else before you accepted the trade. Is it a friend you could ask?

It's a frequent issue when someone is tradng multiple items with lots of different people at once. You didn't lose anything either since the trade didn't go through. Ask the person you traded with and they'll probably tell you they traded that item to someone else. It won't just get lost in the system, it'll be in somebody's inventory.

Ok, I'll contact the trader about this.
Thanks for providing so many useful informations.


P/s: Regarding my Steam level, it was a glitch.
It happened when the "limited user" bug occurs, was somehow granted features I shouldn't getting at all, gets normal after a few hours.

You get that if you trade away or delete one or more items that were queued to be traded to somebody, one item gone can cancel an entire trade offer.

EDIT: This also applies to the other end, if he lacks an item or more the trade will be automatically canceled.

Also, if you get rid of an item ingame and still see the trade offer up, that's because you hadn't synced your game. To sync it, simply quit the game shortly and the trade offer will update, and if you don't sync and you got rid of an item and accept the trade, it will just be an error.

Hi. I need help. The same thing happened to me but this happened instead:

I sent out a gut knife marble 2 keys, and an m4 daybreak for some guys flip Doppler. Later on I checked my inv and my items were gone, and I checked his inv and they were there. I checked my sent trade offers and the trade was accepted with the same error. I'd appreciate any help
