so i guess i cant transfer cash outta my steam wallet.

but the situation is as follows, i just sold a cs:go knife for 290 euro, and i really could use that cash

i guess get cs:go keys or tf2 keys and seel em on a site like steamtrading.com is my only solution ?

i could really use some help not to get scammed here, havent dabbled anything with keys before. is there any risk if i buy keys for 250e on my acc and gift em to the left and right ? (accepting payment through paypal) ?

Yeah, pretty much selling TF2 keys is the only way you can convert steam wallet money to 'real' (paypal) money. It's going to be hard to pull it off if you don't have a rep sheet.

Buy games, sell em for paypal is also a thing you could do. You'll lose some of the money that way since you have to make it a bit more interesting, unless you live in a region that has some good deals.

See what you can do on here, most of the regular peeps here are trust worthy.

THE best way would be to buy keys fro the official Valve store since they're usually cheaper there than the market and buy games from Russians, then sell those for paypal.

You'll get MUCH more games that way.

but i guess for a smooth transaction just but keys from official steam and then trade em for hard cash would be faster ? seem to be alot of mucking around and more risk to buy games


or could i actually sell the game keys to some store ?

Laughing I got burned this way earlier in the year. Some guy sent me a friend request then tried to buy some Team Fortress 2 hat.


I never play it so I said 'You can have it for nothing'


Just out of curiosity I looked at the items, and they sell for £90. Crying or Very sad Laughing

Seriously though, who the fuck buys this shit, it's first person for one thing, you never even see it.

A fool and his money are soon parted. I too could never understand the insane amount of money (along with the sheer number of people) people spend on stupid shit like that, it makes absolutely no sense to me. Not in the slightest.


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

oh yeah once i contacted the repped trader (you kinda have to do a public post) i started to get friend req's from a shitload of fake accs with 2 games , lvl 1 and just created Laughing "oh yeah THATS who i wanna do business with"

and yeah i never understood this either, if i had that kinda cash to blow on crap id get upgrades instead, hell gsync monitor,new graphics,cpu,sdd,occulus dk2 etc etc, how anyone can buy a fuckin knife that doesnt even do anything and it really doesnt even exist in reality is beyond me

but i guess that was good for me Laughing
