Points shop items tradable
These items are just stuck in my inventory. Can't trade them, put them on the market, can't contact Steam support to ask them to delete them, can't refund them for points, couldn't pay to get rid of them if I tried.

Solution: Make them tradable, marketable, deletable, or gemable. :steamthumbsup:

You were told that all these are not possible with point shop purchases and there are good reasons why you can't do that with those particular items.

Tis' is lame. That's why I just made a suggestion, your point? :steamfacepalm:

The point is your feelings don't negate the reasons item shop items aren't tradeable or marketable.

Making items deletable is probably the best solution. However, one reason why Valve doesn't do this is they don't want to deal with users pitching a fit over "accidentally" deleting something and wanting it restored. People with OCD/Inventory clutter feelings are probably easier to deal with and letting unwanted items persist causes the least amount of issue.

That it will not happen.
And that you were warned about the limitations before purchasing.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about because the only thing the point shop says is that "This item is not eligible for a refund." My feelings are valid, just as most suggestions are.

Finally found it in the "How it works" tab. Lame. It's like I have to read every fine detail on this platform.

I don't feel bad hitting submit at about the same time.

Nice to see after reading the fine details you realise you were late in doing so.

The greatest call for attention I've ever seen

and what would that call for attention be?

You admitting you were "a little late bud"?

The FAQ you did not read whilst calling others out and dismissing the points they raised?

or

That most suggestions never see the light of day and the person dismissing your suggestion is never concerned over your feelings but only the viability of a suggestion.

FAQ's are there to inform and you DID NOT read them but decided to attack those who pointed out that error of yours whilst trying to deflect from that error to cover yourself.

It wasn't a FAQ, and you keep using the acronym wrong lol

To summarise: Points are not "tradable, marketable, deletable, or gemable" and your idea or if you prefer suggestion remains in limbo.

I stick with my suggestion and the subject was the items not points. I don't know what you've compiled in your head to make you think otherwise. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking an even better addition to the suggestion would be that when traveling to the point shop it either directs to the informational first (I'm aware this defeats the purpose of feature) or include this IMPORTANT information in the feature before actually getting the item instead of just seeing that it's only not refundable.

Thanks for reading.. If you could lol

Steam doesn't need another marketplace (one in which in addition they also set prices) competing against its own marketplace. That's why the Steam Points Shop items are non-tradable, non-marketable and cannot be turned into gems.

They're personal rewards for making purchases, not something made to be traded and get a profit from.
