Trade Offer
Also known as: Steam trade offer, Trade link
The official trade offer sent through the Steam API.
Definition
A trade offer is the formal offer to trade inside Steam. When you sell on a site, the platform's bot sends the offer and you confirm it in Steam Guard. Only accept trades from bots verified on the site's dashboard, and never confirm offers that show up out of nowhere on your phone.
