[QUOTE=The Decoy;35766387]I find it impossible to trade between accounts now :/[/QUOTE] Like when you trade between accounts the alt's trade window is blank?

[QUOTE]Like when you trade between accounts the alt's trade window is blank? [/QUOTE] Your most likely using a free 2 play account arn't you?

[QUOTE=soulquarian;35774920]Your most likely using a free 2 play account arn't you?[/QUOTE] No they are both premium and the alt's chat window is completely gray and the trade soon cancels.

[QUOTE]No they are both premium and the alt's chat window is completely gray and the trade soon cancels. [/QUOTE] That kept happening to me, then someone on here said you can trade with 2 accounts on the same computer, so I tried 2 premium accounts and it work, What version of sandboxie are you using?

I could trade between accounts a week ago, yet it was pretty hit and miss (sometimes the alt trade window wouldn't open etc) but now it just doesn't work, no amount of closing and restarting steam will make it work :S also I could trade between a ftp an prem account (u could only trade specific things though, like the tags, paint and dueling game) 64bit v3.58 (I do all my trades on the same computer)

It's not that. It's the damn Item servers that fudge up almost all the time. Just right now, teamfortress.com is off the grid, and the steam forums are acting up, loading as shit. This is a bad time to trade. Do it two-three days after an update day. That's what I do.

[/QUOTE] Mmmm, fuuuuudge...yuuummy, lol =) I only started trading like about 2 months ago, before that I would just purely play the game, even 2 months ago it was hard to trade, would have to try and trade with a single person like 3 or 4 times until it eventually loaded.

I traded shit from my 20 premium accounts just minutes ago. It's painstaking to actually attempt retrading 5-6 times over and over just sto see that one of the windows hangs either with an "unavailable" or "busy" or not loading at all page error. But I managed to pull through. Now I'm 7ref richer :P

7 ref done through trading and smelting weapons to metal. And I recrafted the hats, since their price is too low to actually bother selling...

Just dropped an All Father :dance:

[QUOTE=Joe88;35827232]crated one already and sold it for 8 keys :)[/QUOTE] thats why i love metal more over keys. they give sometime items valued 3-7 keys. <3 love new miscs. got 2x salvaged yesterday, sold both for 18 keys x)

I managed to fix my trading problem. I created a new sandbox and it seemed to work :S

To anyone having troubles with trading delete everything except for steam.exe and steamapps from the account folder. Delete the contents of the sandbox and retry.

[QUOTE=DeltaEcho;35833354]To anyone having troubles with trading delete everything except for steam.exe and steamapps from the account folder. Delete the contents of the sandbox and retry.[/QUOTE] just right click on the sandbox and select > Delete Contents no need to delete the steam folder stuff

I've always managed to trade through a dead public trade server whenever Steam trade gave me problems.

[QUOTE=private jet;35837395]just right click on the sandbox and select > Delete Contents no need to delete the steam folder stuff[/QUOTE] If you gave full access to the account folder in Sandboxie it will go to it anyway. The problem is in appcache.
