Can a tradable gift be revoked?

Closed

So I've been looking to trade my tradable copy of Witcher 3. I've been posting on several trading forums including CSGOLounge. A guy added me offering to trade me a tradable copy of GTAV. Here's his profile: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198173066323

Setting aside his rep and game library count, can his copy get revoked after we've traded even though it's a tradable copy?

my advice. dont do it :)
having just 5 games and wanna trade a wanted game like gta 5 is fishy. but you can always try it out.
he has it in his library tho. guess if you trade it fairly and got scammed that you get your game back from steam.

I read about Steam's trading policies and they mentioned they can give back scammed items as long as it's done in the trade window/trade offer panel

Yes they can, by doing a charge back on the purchase. It gets the buyer account banned IIRC, but scammers will just make another.

He has GTAV on his accout too though. If what you said is true, could he have used another account to make the purchase instead?
