# How long does the trade take?

${color}[#666666](This article will explain how long the trade can take.)

| Before making a purchase make sure you meet all requirements to trade. You can check them in [this article](/en/article/what-do-i-need-to-be-able-to-trade-33p77l/)

## Trading usually takes less than 10 minutes

If everything is correct with your account and current Steam servers' status, the whole trading process **should take no longer than a 10 minutes**, but according to different factors this time is not guaranteed.

## Give trades a few minutes to process

You have to give each trade **a few minutes** to get processed and for the status to be updated on the site. If it’s still pending or did not appear after 15 minutes, check our other instructions:
