Fellows, i have made a mistake. I think retro posted about it as i am searching. Does IG ban VPN use?
I had it on for a security sensitive task when i was checking messages here, and i find myself not just unable to enter giveaways, it's giving me errors on creating, and i can't even check completed or view previously won keys. Completely locked.

I only use IG via VPN, no problem there. But you could have blocked yourself.

If you got IP check enabled, you could get yourself a problem if you change your ip. Logging in after deleting the cookies always worked for me. Hope it helps you too.

I had a very hard day, and there is so much goodness on this forum that it warms me from the inside. I accidentally broke the ignition lock in my car. Don't ask me how I did it, I'm shocked myself 😵 Due to the fact that the car has a very low ground clearance, I had to call a special tow truck for sports cars. I waited for him for half a day, then we drove for a very long time through traffic jams to the official dealer. My city ranks 18th in the world in terms of traffic jams (according to the international agency from New York) and second in Russia after Moscow. Due to a problem in the supply of spare parts from Germany (hello sanctions) I was given the wrong part, but I have already paid money for it. I have written an application for a refund. There was no second such detail in Russia, now I have to wait for it through China for another week. I came home hungry and exhausted. Now I want to drink whiskey and pass out. Thank you for making this place so kind that every day after work or such ridiculous situations I can come here and get my dose of buzz 😍

I wanted to trade directly for games too. But it's really hard. Many people with lot of games to trade simply want "offers" first. Worst case scenario, they never reply. Not even a no.
That's why I traded for TF2 keys first. Since in many cases, there are priced mentioned.
Then the 2nd problem started.
My first plan was to trade these for the Baldur's gate games cause of the bundle.
But everyone wanted like 2 TF2 keys for just Baldur's gate. The problem was these games recently had regional pricing in my region. So I could simply sell the TF2 keys & basically buy it cheaper on steam.
Both Yakuza kiwami & Icewind were on my wishlist. So it kinda worked out.

I prefer games for games trades. Tf2 are "nice" but only for specific things imo
And many forget that most of the world isn't EU and US.. So yeah, it's no good to you :/

I don't want to plant any seeds in your mind to feel like you lost out, but generally speaking people offering TF2 are reselling the games on keyshops for higher price. WWZ deluxe is 14 euro for example. So they definitely came out ahead.

Before you think of asking that kind of price consider: 1, speed (no waiting for buyer) 2, no fees (shops have listing fees, taxes, and other misc handling fees so you do not earn full amount), 3, even if you make credit you still need to withdraw or convert to steam, and that also has its own problems (like, shop limits minimum to withdraw, if Paypal, processor fee, if buying giftcard, usually priced higher, not discounted, so lose some value).

You can't put a price on speed and efficiency, so taking a "loss" on tf2 key buyers may actually be not so bad in the end.

+karma tends to bite them in the ass..

But morals aside.. It was free on Epic.. It was free in AWA.. It has been bundled and on deep sale as well.. It's old at this point. 5 tf2 is a reseller price and frankly, I'd rather buy it off somewhere at that price with no risk than trading it..

Yes.

Send to support and apologize or say something like I forgot it open / didn't knew
I doubt it's permanent for a first time "offense"
