Trade banned

[TobbyyR]

Can I be trade banned due to my username being taken down? I have a 24 hour ban on changing my name and I have also now got a trading ban.

i am responding to this topic, not any other topics he made.
this topic is about his username being changed, and getting a trade restriction.

this is true, he was under a trade restriction because the moderator / valve / steam support reset his alias.

whether or not he has additionally trade restrictions i don't know. one thing i can say is that his account now again is able to trade as the name reset restriction is lifted.

He had the trade restriction BEFORE Support changed his profile name half an hour after he created his first thread, and why the replies on this thread reference both circumstances, while you chose to dismiss that with:

He was under restriction even before Support removed his name. Check out the other thread.

Then how can you be certain that the restriction has been lifted?

You are not helping the OP at all!

I did not realise that it was not allowed to have a website link in name. I had seen others with it for a long time so never thought it would be an issue.

The scam websites won't tell you that you are violating Steam TOS.

Your account will be restricted from trading for 7 days if you cancel an accepted trade.

When did you cancel that trade?

After reconsideration, I believe it was the name change which caused the trade ban as I have revoked trades before and had no issue. It’s been about 4/5 hours since I changed my name.

As always, don't skip over the details.

You can reject an incoming or cancel an outgoing trade offer; that's normal procedure and will not cause any cooldowns.

HOWEVER, if you have accepted a trade, you have accepted it. If that trade ends up on a trade hold, and NOW you're cancelling it, it's an entirely different story: you don't get to skip out of a contract signed in blood. Or maybe that wasn't Steam. Regardless, once you've accepted a trade, you don't get to cancel it. If you do, you get the 7 day cooldown.

If you do, you get the 7 day cooldown.

And this cooldown outlasts the cooldown for changing the profile name.

You don't have a trade ban.

<tradeBanState>None</tradeBanState>

Cooldown =/= trade ban
