Someone sold my CS:GO skins!!

just now someone has logged into my account somewhere and has sold most of my cs:go skins and has bought an item that is worth $0.06 with $21.87. The account that it has been sold to is: hayanovetina
i think they have sold that overpriced item on their account and bought it with my account. i have changed my password and told my friends not to click on any links that it gets from me after it had already sent one. I have also already made a steam support ticket and submitted it with all the info that it needs. The one thing that i am wondering is that can steam support give me money for my lost items or retrieve my items? please help me and lmk what you know about this situation, thanks.

Sure. Read "Account security recommendations" in the support database and use your brain.

Additionally enable Family View and don't allow access to the community (leave the store and community generated content unchecked) except with the PIN (to get you out of family view). It will make it slightly more difficult for them to gain access to your accounts access to the store and therefore trade away.

If you also leave your account in Family View mode (where you can play games just fine but can't do anything else) even if you click a phishing link, or they otherwise get access to your account they will need an additional bit of information in order to be able to trade or sell your items.

Did you run Malwarebytes before changing your passwords? If your PC is not clean; any changes made as a precaution will be vulnerable for futher data swiping with Malware.
