Topic: What is the new steam escrow system? (Read 791 times)
Basically a delay of 72 hours if you don't have mobile authentication.
What if we have a Windows phone ?
Basically everyone has to suffer delayed trades because stupid people get scammed and valve makes money out of it by forcing trades to their platform.
I've got some items stuck in dispenser.tf at the moment(which is a site which is basically a marketplace where you can trade steam items and BTC).
I tried to read their updates but I don't get how the escrow will affect me. All I knew was that there will be a delay.
Then whats the point? Implementing a system just to delay trades?

Many people are not careful when they do steam trades, valve tries to protect them. E.g. the majority of "duped" items are from restored inventories.

From what I read here[1] it will make trades vs. BTC less secure unless you can know this in advance somehow.

It's anti free trade and will only benefit Valve's pockets.
We all saw how it went when they added paid mods that gave so little to the modders themselves.

What is it, how it works and what will be the changes to the current trading system?
