Is this trade fair?

Price each item by what it sells for, not by its Steam Market price alone: Steam prices run above marketplace prices and ignore float, pattern and stickers. This page prices both sides on one basis at a time (instant cash bids, the lowest ask across eight markets, or the Steam lowest listing) and shows who comes out ahead and by how many dollars.

The gap is measured against the smaller side. Within 5% either way the trade is Even. Beyond that, You gain means what you receive is worth more than what you give on the chosen price basis, and You lose means the opposite. The default basis is instant cash when every item has a bid, otherwise the lowest ask.

Everything that arrives in a Steam trade is Trade Protected for 7 days: it can be used in game but not sold, traded or put in a contract. During that week the sender can reverse the trade, which costs them a 30-day trade and market ban but still returns the items.

A lookalike swapped in at the last second (different wear, no StatTrak or Souvenir tag, other stickers); payment outside Steam, which a reversal leaves unrefunded; "trade checker" or fake escrow sites that ask for your API key or an item; and impersonators claiming they can reverse your trade. Read the exact items in the Steam confirmation and confirm only in the Steam mobile app.

No. Prices are for the item type and wear. Low floats, rare paint seeds, Doppler phases and valuable stickers can sell above the listing price, so price those with a float or sticker tool before agreeing.
