Do you trade?
But, using the steam trader window isn't possible to trade steam keys (games)?
You're right, its not possible to trade keys.
And if it's like that. How can they trade keys?
Mutual trust. Start trading with someone with good rep, and go first.

Also, one thing you have to be careful here, is impersonators. Double check every person that adds you claiming they are from SG, to see if their Steam profile corresponds to the one linked with SG. They often target new traders (with low or even none rep).

If I was trade cards for keys. I need to "gift" cards first and then get the key in chat?
I didn't see that possibility, but can I gift things in steam trade window or just trade?
So, If I was trade cards for keys, the another person need to give me another thing too?

Exactly.

Nope. You can just gift it (without getting nothing in return from the trade window), then the person gives you the key in chat.

Of course, this has a risk. If you trade Steam gifts in the trade window, you have a protection I guess from Steam in case the gift is revoked. You can't do that with keys. If someone scams you, you'll lose the cards and the game.
But that is rarely an issue here, just be careful who are you trading with, check their rep, etc, and you should be fine.

Can they give me the key, I add to my account and they revoke it back in the stores like Humble bundle.
So itthe game will be removed from my account?

They could, but if they do, and you report it to Humble, they're the ones that'd lose over it.
I believe Humble has gotten to the point of confirming with the other party now, as well.
Moreover, if you do too many revokes, Humble may stop letting you do them for a while.
Basically, there's just no gain in it, especially if you're trading with a legitimate trader, who has their SG/Barter feedback reputation at stake.

This that Sooth said. If you trade with someone with good rep, the chances of that happen is close to 0. There is a chance? Well, yeah. Maybe if he got his key from a trade and is re-trading it, and the another trader revoke it, or something like that.
But at SG people trade for months, build a trading reputation, they wouldn't revoke it cause you would give them bad rep, and it would be a stain on their profile forever. Just give priority to trading with people with higher rep.
Do you have a trading topic yet?

I'm a little more calm about this revokes.
I did one topic but I don't know much what to write.

Be aware of impersonators using the name, avatar and making their names similar to high level traders.

I saw that in one game.
So I need to look this things here too.
Thanks for the infomation!

I installed Enchanced steam now. I'm looking how to use it.
I have almost 200 cards and use the steam mobile authenticator. So it will be no problem. (I hope lol)
Also I'm seeing your topic. I'm just familiarizing with this things first and will trade with you.

Everything that list says will mostly help him in detecting impersonators.
That is more direct towards trading outside SG, with no "platform" like the trade forum, with +rep, comments, etc.
So far I find SG the most safe place to trade.
That information is all good and useful, but not that much relevant to trading at SG, as the person's +rep here is more than enough. I'm not talking about bad traders, just pure and simple scam.

I'm starting in the trade world and of course I don't want to me scammed.
I never tradded before. I saw some videos of people doing it.

And if it's like that. How can they trade keys?
Cards have no region lock, right? LOL
Using the steam trade window is totally safe, right?
