TradeZone

Simply click the 'Sign in with Steam' button at the top of any page. You'll be redirected to Steam's official login page. After logging in, you'll be returned to TradeZone with your account connected. We only access your basic profile information and inventory data with your permission.

When you connect your Steam account, we only access:

• Your public profile information (username, profile picture, Steam ID, Steam account link)
• Your CS2 inventory items (to display for trading). Make sure your inventory is public!

We never access or store your Steam credentials, payment information, or any other sensitive data. All authentication is handled securely through Steam's official OpenID system.

You can browse listings and create a profile on TradeZone, but you won't be able to complete trades until any Steam trade restrictions are lifted. Common restrictions include:

• New device trade holds (7-day hold when logging in from a new device)
• Accounts without Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator (15-day hold)
• Accounts with limited features (need to spend $5 on Steam)
• Temporary trade bans from Steam

These restrictions are imposed by Steam, not TradeZone, and we cannot bypass them.

To disconnect your Steam account:

1. Log in to TradeZone
2. Go to your Profile settings
3. Select the "Account" tab
4. Click "Disconnect Steam Account"

You can also revoke TradeZone's access through your Steam account settings under "Account Details > Manage Account > External Sites".

To list items for trade:

1. Sign in with your Steam account
2. Go to your Profile page
3. Under "I am offering" or "I am looking for" sections, click "Add Item"
4. Search for items or browse your inventory
5. Select the items you want to list
6. Click "Confirm" to publish your listing

Your listings will be visible to other users searching for those items.

TradeZone displays current market value estimates based on recent trading data to help users make informed decisions. However, the actual trade value is always determined by what both parties agree to. You have complete freedom to set your own prices when listing items or making offers.

Our smart matching system compares your "looking for" items with other users' "offering" items (and vice versa) to find potential trade partners. When a match is found, both users are notified and can begin negotiation. You can also manually browse all listings to find trades that interest you.

Yes, you can edit or remove your listings at any time:

1. Go to your Profile page
2. Under either "I am looking for" or "I am offering" sections, click "Edit Offers"
3. Select the items you want to remove
4. Click "Delete Selected" to remove them from your listing

You can also add new items to existing listings at any time.

There are no limits to the number of trades you can make on TradeZone. Trade as often as you'd like, completely free of charge. The only limitations would be those imposed by Steam itself, such as trade holds for new devices or accounts without Steam Guard.

TradeZone prioritizes security through several measures:

• We never hold your items - all trades occur directly through Steam's official trading system
• Your items remain in your Steam inventory until a trade is completed
• All user accounts are verified through Steam authentication
• We maintain a database of known scammers and suspicious accounts
• Our reporting system allows users to flag suspicious activity
• We use secure HTTPS encryption for all communications

We take scam attempts very seriously. If you encounter suspicious behavior:

1. Do not complete the trade
2. Use our reporting system to flag the user
3. Contact our support team with details of the incident

Since all trades go through Steam's official trading system, many common scam tactics are already prevented. We also provide trade verification tools and maintain a database of known scammers to protect our community.

TradeZone focuses exclusively on item-for-item trading. We do not offer cash-out services or facilitate real-money transactions. This item-only approach helps maintain security and avoid the complications of financial transactions.

Be very cautious of any user offering to buy your items for real money outside of the platform, as this often leads to scams.

You can verify a trader's trustworthiness by:

• Checking their TradeZone profile for trade history and activity
• Looking for the verified badge on their profile
• Reviewing their Steam profile for account age, game hours, and inventory value
• Checking if they have the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator enabled
• Using third-party reputation tools like SteamRep

Always be cautious when trading high-value items, especially with new or unverified accounts.

If you believe your account has been compromised:

1. Change your Steam password immediately
2. Revoke all API keys in your Steam settings
3. Contact Steam Support to lock your account
4. Contact TradeZone support to secure your TradeZone account
5. Check for any unauthorized trade offers and cancel them
6. Scan your computer for malware

Acting quickly can help prevent item loss in many cases.
