Why is the item list empty when trading in TF2? as a F2P

Why is the item list empty when trading in TF2? as a F2P - Overhead view of composition of empty hardcover book lying between metallic pen and soft cotton flowers on wooden tray with recesses

Recently I got some duplicates in my items. I wanted to trade them but for some reason, my Item list is empty. I refreshed the trading screen a lot but still no help.

I'm a f2p player but I know that I can trade but limited. Please respond I've been searching for days but still no help.



Best Answer

As a F2P player, none of your items are tradable, therefore none of them are displayed in the trade dialog.

Limited trading means that you can get items from paid players and trade them to others, but your items from drops aren't available for trading.

Can you trade items to F2P in TF2?

Yes, as a F2P player, you can trade, but you are limited in what you can. Drops that you recieve in-game cannot be traded, except for tools (such as crates, keys and name tags).

Can F2P trade scrap TF2?

Nope. F2ps can't trade at all.

Why can I not trade in TF2?

Players who are playing the free version of Team Fortress 2 cannot trade items. You'll need to upgrade to the paid version in order to trade items with other players. You can purchase the paid version from the Steam Store, or trade Steam items with other Steam users for a copy of it. Know the value of your items.

Why is TF2 F2P?

Because they presumably received more money from microtransactions than people actually buying the game, so they determined that making it F2P and having more potential spenders would be worth making the game free.

Answer 2

While @ardaozkal nailed the direct question here, it is worth noting that you can use your duplicate items without trading them. Most of the weapon drops you have are probably not worth much for trades anyway. So why not use it for crafting? You can create scrap metal with any two items from the same class.

And then you can use the scrap metal to make items you don't have yet. I see folks scrapping random drops between rounds in all of the time.
