How to go to the seller's profile on the steam market

*Note that is requires luck, and not 100% reliable*
This guide is for the people who want to buy something from the steam market with keys or other payment apart from steam wallet, but due to the valve's recent update, it became impossible to go to the seller's profile page directly. But using this method, I did find the profile of the seller who was selling the thing I wanted to buy, and I offered him in tf2 keys.

Introduction

Hi. I'm pretty sure that there are lots of traders who use Steam community market, but sometimes want to offer some tf2 keys or other sort of payment apart from the steam wallet to the seller.
But thanks to Steam, they blocked the seller's profile link so that the scammers or phishers cannot send random add to those sellers. Therefore we also cannot add them either.

This is when I randomly thought up with this method.
I should note that this method is:
- Not 100% reliable
- Does not work on steam-related items (cards, emoticons and etc) which is impossible to see even the seller's profile image)
- Requires luck, time and could be pain in the ass to find the actual seller

Let's do this.

First, you go to the page where the specific item is located

For example, I am going to search my own item, Horace.

Second, click the image, and drag it to the http://www.google.com/imghp.

Here, I dragged the profile image, and put it in the google image search.

This would show some steam profiles as well as some similar images, and this is where you would have a difficulty.


Here, I clicked on the one of the profile link.


Obviously, this profile image does not match to the image of me.
But in the comment line, I found the exact same profile image.



I found my own profile page with using only my profile image :D

As I already said, it is not 100% reliable.

While searching the profile using only the image, there might be dozens of other people who use the same profile image as the seller. In this case, there is no other way but checking every profile links. You may find it easier by looking at those profile's additional info box, as the seller might put additional information about himself/herself, like ''I'm selling blahblahblahh" or "Check my backpack if you wanna buy something!"

If you want to go more hardcore, you might go into that profile link's backpack.tf page and see the history of his/her backpack, to see whether there was the specific item you want to buy. (It would not in the backpack right now, as it is already on the steam community market).


So... that's all. I hope you find this handy, and you can ask me questions :)
Also, apologies for my bad English :P
