I stopped trading TF2 items for profit after the 3rd or 4th time I cashed out. I started trading around the time when Earbuds were actually used as currency to give you an idea. The last time I cashed out was after the tradebot takeover, which made it virtually impossible to make any profit. Now if I want something I just buy it off of Marketplace.tf and that's that. I have no idea why I'm banned for "Paypal scamming'' but I can only assume I bought something off of someone who was also marked. I've made an appeal which is pending review but I'm not too concerned with it. The only time I buy with Paypal is through Marketplace.tf anyway. However I just wanted to make a brief explanation. I always ask people I do trade with to leave a detailed rep on my comment section detailing what trade we did, and how it went so you could always check there should we ever trade. TIA!
