He removed me and doesn't accept me back, seems pretty intentional.

the only thing the support team here can do is potentially ban the person that sold you the key. If you want keys or items you traded you need to contact steam support, it's likely they can ban the user from steam as well, but most likely that won't happen. Best case if you used Keys to trade for the game they'll refund your keys back to you provided the person who scammed you hasn't already moved the keys onto other accounts.
It clearly sounds intentional, that's why when trading for high priced items you should be 100% certain that the person you're trading with is reputable before giving them anything.

Δε φαίνεται και πολύ εμπιστεύσιμος ο τύπος από τον οποίο αγόρασες το παιχνίδι. :P Συν του ότι το αγόρασε από άλλο account, που αν κρίνω από το όνομα που φαίνεται στη φωτογραφία, το χρησιμοποίησε μόνο και μόνο για να κάνει αυτήν την απάτη. Τέλος πάντων, απλά στείλε ticket στο steam support και χιλιοπαρακάλα τους να κάνουν κάτι. Επίσης, κάνε report αυτόν τον τύπο στο steamrep.

Αξίζει να στείλω ticket στην steam άμα μου το κανε gift;
Comment has been collapsed.
Ναι ρε συ. Αν και είναι πιο αυστηροί τώρα πια, αλλά μου'χε τύχει στο παρελθόν ένας μαλάκας που πούλαγε revoked GTA V gifts. Είχα αγοράσει 2 gifts απ'αυτόν, έπειτα έπεσε revoke και στα 2, τον έκανα report στο steamrep και έστειλα ticket στο steam support. Από τα 40 tf2 keys που έχασα, μου στείλανε μόνο τα 20 (δεν ξέρω το γιατί), αλλά κάτι είναι και αυτό. Πάντως, έχουν γίνει πολύ πιο αυστηροί τώρα πια. Στείλε τους ένα ticket, ευγενικά πάντα, και παρακάλα τους να σε βοηθήσουν. Και πες τους να κάνουν ban αυτόν τον τύπο. Αλλά πρέπει να'χεις ατράνταχτες αποδείξεις. Επίσης, κάνε τον οπωσδήποτε report και στο steamrep.
Comment has been collapsed.
Παρεμπιπτόντως, και στο steam support και στο steamrep, να στείλεις ιστορικό τής συνομιλίας σας, το trade history σου, το e-mail όταν έλαβες το gift......χμμμ, νομίζω ότι αυτά είναι όσα χρειάζεσαι.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you. :) Well, to be honest, it's a bit hard language. Many Greeks make spelling mistakes. Not me, of course. I'm a master of the Greek language. :P :P But yeah, it looks pretty. I love mythology too, but geography was never my cup of tea. :P History is nice too, not as much as mythology though.

Το πρόβλημα είναι ότι δεν έχω ιστορικό της συνομιλίας γιατί με διέγραψε και δεν με δέχεται, και δεν έχω ιστορικό της συναλλαγής διότι έγινε μέσο trade request και όχι trade offer
Comment has been collapsed.
Μπορείς να βρεις το trade history σου, για να δείξεις ότι του έστειλες κλειδιά. Επίσης, λογικά έλαβες ένα e-mail από το steam όταν σου έστειλε το gift. Το πρόβλημα είναι ότι, εφόσον δεν έχεις ιστορικό τής συνομιλίας σας, τότε χαιρέτα μου τον πλάτανο. Δεν μπορείς να κάνεις ούτε report στο steamrep, ούτε ticket να στείλεις στο steam support. Έπρεπε να το'χες σκεφτεί να κρατήσεις το ιστορικό τής συνομιλίας σας, αλλά εντάξει, μη στενοχωριέσαι, ό,τι έγινε έγινε. Δες το σα μάθημα αυτό που έγινε. Το ξέρω ότι είναι μαλακία, αλλά αφού δεν πήρες τα μέτρα σου, δεν μπορείς να κάνεις κάτι γι'αυτό. Μόνο ένα απλό report στο steam μπορείς να τον κάνεις. Βάλε και το profile του στο profile σου για να προειδοποιείς τους πάντες να μην κάνουν trade μαζί του. Άμα έχει και κανά steamgifts account, κάν'του κανά -rep κιόλας.

Πως βρίσκω το username του; Αφού εδώ βρήκε το trade μου λογικά θα έχει λογαριασμό
Comment has been collapsed.
Δε γίνεται να το βρεις. Το username του θα πηγαίνει κάπως έτσι: www.steamgifts.com/user/XXXXX (στη θέση τού XXXXX θα είναι το name του εδώ). Μπορεί στη θέση τού XXXXX να έχει όνομα παρόμοιο με το steam name του ή με τα προηγούμενα steam names του. Επίσης, επειδή πρόλαβα και είδα το profile του πριν το βγάλεις, είδα ότι στο roster τής ομάδας που έχει, υπάρχουν και κάποια ελληνικά ονόματα. Ίσως μπορείς να συνεννοηθείς μέσω αυτών για το "φιλαράκι" τους. Επίσης, ψάξε να βρεις με κάποιον τρόπο αν έκανε scam και σε κάποιον άλλον. Μπορεί και να'χει account και στο tf2outpost για παράδειγμα και να γράφει εκεί και το steamgifts name του, για όποιον θέλει να κάνει trade μαζί του. Απλά ψάξε από'δω και από εκεί.

Πώς ακριβώς θα το κάνεις αυτό; o.O Απλά στείλε κανά ticket στο steam support με ό,τι σου είπα να στείλεις, αλλά αν και είναι δύσκολο να σου δώσουν refund χωρίς ιστορικό συνομιλίες, ίσως και να υπάρχουν απειροελάχιστες πιθανότητες να σε πιστέψουν αν τους στείλεις το trade history και το e-mail με το gift που σου έστειλε.

Κάτι επίσης πολύ σημαντικό: Στην ειδοποίηση για το revoked gift, γράφει ότι σου το έστειλε ο g67d67df6. Είναι προφανώς alt account του και τον έχει στους φίλους του ο τύπος. Έχει φτιάξει και άλλα alt accounts με περίεργα ονόματα. Πες το και αυτό στο steam support και στείλε τους το link τού scammer, αλλά και του g67d67df6. Προσπαθώ να σε βοηθήσω όσο μπορώ. Μην τον αφήσεις να ξεφύγει. ;)

you got the key/gift from a non-steam way. He Gifted you the content, so there's no way to get a refund since you did not pay for it to steam directly (If I understand the refund policy), not to mention steam revoked the gift due to payment issues (which was theoretically the reason we had trade cool downs, but whatever) , so unless you're planning on charging back the guy who sent you the gift (which I'm guessing you can't since you only have the steam profile), then you're pretty much screwed. Charging Steam for something that's not their fault will result in what we like to call fraud, which is very illegal in many places, and at that point you're account will probably be more than just suspended.
Comment has been collapsed.
Got scammed 4 keys like this, a year ago. Think it happens quite frequently in the past(which is why steam introduced the 30day trade restriction on gifts), so unless you are absolutely sure the game wont get removed (i.e the guy is very reliable), you should wait for the 30 day trade restriction before you trade. Take it as an expensive lesson I guess. Only thing you can do it report the guy and hope he gets labelled as a scammer, but you still can't get your keys back.

Call out his name, we shall spam his profile with bad bad curses!! And all of us shall report him to steam support! His name will be blackened and he will be ashamed of his filthy actions!!
jk, it was definetly coming since he didn't react to your friend requests, i belive there is nothing you can do exept to wait for the steam support answer =(
Comment has been collapsed.
You don't see the name of who bought the gift, you see the name of whoever gifted it to you.
He asked for 15 TF2 keys, plus 4 more for some TF2 items, which I ended up paying full price because I didn't care since I got the game at a good price.

As the trade was made out of the trading window, you've pretty much lost your keys While you could theoretically do a charge-back for the funds used to purchase the keys, but that would put your own account in jeopardy.
The 30-days trade lock for new purchases was specifically put in place so Valve would not have to help you in a case like this. You can rest assured that they're unlikely to provide any kind of help.
The best thing to do is report the guy on Steamrep (with proof), chalk this to experience and move on. In the future, stick to established traders with good feedback.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can I get them to reverse the trade? He gave me some items when I traded him the keys (in the same trade) because his backpack was full.
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you lose those items as well? If these were lost then you have a chance. If you still have them, then Valve will consider that you still have the items you traded for. Anything you did outside of the trade window is not part of the trade as far as they're concerned.
Comment has been collapsed.
I still have those items, but then it's like I overpaid for those items by 15 keys.
Why can't they just read the chat logs and confirm it themselves?

Why can't they just read the chat logs and confirm it themselves?
Because you explicitly went against their Terms of Service that has them clearly state they don't support or appreciate 'unofficial' trades and you do so at your own risk. :P
Anyway, if noon else has mentioned it, you should always report a scammer for 'Attempted Trade Scam' through their Steam Profile. You won't get your items back, but their account WILL be suspended with enough reports.
Basically, if doing any major trades, you're going to want to make sure they're done through the same in-Steam trade window. Anything past that, you'll want to vet the individual in question very, very thoroughly.
But most notably:
To ensure that a scammer is appropriately handled, and to prevent them from benefitting from this scam or others in the future, make sure that you report them through the Steam Community Reporting feature.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't understand the logic behind that though. In the steam chat we clearly agreed for a price in keys supposed he would gift it to me, what difference does it make that it's not on the same trade window?
Comment has been collapsed.
On the one side, they don't want to give you refunds at all, but since using the same trade window is an irrefutable transaction record that is in accordance with the listed and core functions of the service, they're likely legally obligated to assist you in that specific situation.
On the other, they don't want to be obligated [legally or otherwise] to assist if the assisting is a pain to do [versus looking a single transaction up], so they make the rules as tight as possible, that way any assistance they provide outside of that is 'extra'- which is why it's always good to poke them.
Finally, the odds of getting scammed are far, far higher if you do any sort of trade not involving a single transaction window. If you intentionally break their guidelines to do something risky, why should they be obligated to help you in the first place? You're the one who blatantly ignored their ToS.
You're asking them to go through a lot of effort to validate the contents of the chat logs and take you on your word that no out-of-chat bargaining was done, all after you dismissed the protections (trade holds (which prevent gift revoking, since items can't be revoked after a month) and most recently, escrow) they offered in the first place- and that's assuming they keep chat logs at all, which no one has ever actually displayed proof of, afaik.
Steam chat is considered as off-site as any trading source. In fact, the majority of scammers are likely people that add you as friends on steam first, to offer a trade, rather than going through a reputable trading site.
If you're engaging in risky behavior, why would they go through the trouble of hunting down all this information and taking you on your word, and then hunting down all the traded items, when you did something Valve explicitly prohibited in the first place?
Scammers suck, but Valve doesn't want to be on the line for it any more than we do.
If you want a better, more official answer to your question, it'd be better to ask Steam support.
But with that '77,000 hacked accounts per month' and assuming even more simple scams than that, you have to appreciate why they don't want to assist in complex trade resolutions, much less be obligated to.
Again, only Valve can honestly answer your question in full.
My point is more that expecting Valve to help in the first place, was an erroneous consideration to make.

I had this situation, I traded my Dota2 Keys for DayZ gift copy and then game revoked. But Support retrieved my keys because they can see the transaction. It depends on how you made the trade, if you just gave the game serial keys to each other than there is no way

I think Off-Topic would be more appropriate. The deals category is there to let others know of good special pricing on Steam games.
Comment has been collapsed.
They refuse to refund me because the trade was done on a separate trade window. I guess there really is no way to retrieve my keys.

I bought Rainbow Six Siege like a day ago.
Now I got a message from Steam saying they removed the game because they had a problem processing payment for this item http://i.imgur.com/TYO3HNr.png
Is there anything I can do to either get the game or my keys back?
