Cannot Trade in Team Fortess 2 - A Group of People Clapping to a Woman Presenting a Graph on Screen with Success Rate

Team Fortress 2 is not letting me trade. It says, "Your account cannot trade right now". I waited for 6 or 7 days but I still can't trade, what do I do?



Best Answer

You need to have a premium account, which basically means you need to have bought a game or added funds to your Steam wallet to trade. Basically any kind of purchase on Steam validates you as a premium user rather than free "limited" users with limited rights.
