• Choose between accepting the trade offer in your browser or in Steam app

6. Click "Accept Trade"

7. Now the item is in your Steam inventory!

8. After a successful trade, your transaction has the status "Accepted"

How much time do I have to withdraw items trade locked items?

Items remain in your Backpack for 45 days after the Trade Lock period ends. If they are not withdrawn within that timeframe, they may be removed. But don’t worry—we’ll automatically issue a refund at a current sell price and add the balance to your SkinsMonkey account. If a removed item has a “Unstable Price” status at the moment of refunding, it will be refunded at a 90% purchase price to the SkinsMonkey balance.

If you already know you won’t be able to withdraw your items within the 45-day window and would like to retain them, please contact our support team for help.
