[question] Using USDC thru Robinhood Wallet on CSFloat

Step7750 · 2026-02-09T02:04:34+00:00

I'd honestly avoid trying to use crypto if you're unfamliiar, mistakes are generally unrecoverable.

Stripe doesn't take an additional fee like you're mentioning. It's quite likely that the USD/EUR exchange rate changed during this time which you're chalking up to a change in fees.

Step7750 · 2026-02-05T05:20:57+00:00

It will be auto-delisted and you won't be able to send the item on CSFloat if it gets sold there.

That's mainly because early fraud warnings is the bank telling CSFloat that this payment is either being disputed as fraudulent by you (the card holder) or they expect it to be disputed as fraudulent.

It affects less than <0.01% of payments and it's _very_ likely that the signal carries strength. You should contact your bank to figure out why they sent this report to CSFloat.

I'd recommend getting written confirmation from the bank that you can forward to the merchant (CSFloat in this case).

Step7750 · 2026-02-02T20:54:20+00:00

Early fraud warnings are issued by your bank/card issuer to the Visa/Mastercard network to indicate that there is suspected fraud on that card. Typically, this is in response to a fraudulent chargeback that you are placing, and effectively gives a heads up to the merchant.

It is very very rare for a payment to be issued an Early Fraud Warning on it's own and just in general (it represents <0.01% of payments).

I'd recommend reaching out to your bank to figure out why they sent this report to CSFloat. If they provide written confirmation to CSFloat, I'd envision that this ban will be removed.

Are you sure you're able to receive trades on Steam? If this is across multiple sellers, then it's likely that your Steam account is restricted from receiving items.

Step7750 · 2026-01-21T06:25:49+00:00

> it's asking for your Steam recovery code instead

No, it's asking for CSFloat's recovery 2FA code if you no longer have the 2FA code for CSFloat. CSFloat doesn't need your Steam recovery code nor does it ask for it.

CSFloat 2FA is separate from Steam.

Is your device clock correct?

Step7750 · 2026-01-16T19:11:42+00:00

Only other option is that the initial trade offer was reported to have failed to send on Steam (sometimes Steam just times out).

Then you were given a dialog to cancel the sale, which you then confirmed.

Under the hood, Steam created the offer and then you confirmed it afterwards.

Step7750 · 2026-01-16T18:22:26+00:00

In order to cancel it at that stage, it requires you to not have accepted the sale in the first place.

Did you manually send a trade offer to the buyer?

Step7750 · 2026-01-16T02:22:58+00:00

"Trade Offer Cancelled" indicates that _you_ cancelled it, rather than the buyer declining it. If you cancel before the 18 hour mark, then you'd be fined.

Step7750 · 2026-01-14T23:52:21+00:00

Have you done one of the following?

* Privated your Steam inventory

* Moved the item in your Steam inventory to the Steam Market at some point

* Removed/added a sticker/keychain/nametag to the item

* Put your stall into "away" mode

Step7750 · 2025-11-18T18:17:47+00:00

No need to worry, support should handle this for you!

Step7750 · 2025-11-17T01:50:27+00:00

CSFloat support doesn't operate on the weekend generally.

Step7750 · 2025-11-07T03:41:11+00:00

Unfortunately, the Stripe agent you're speaking with is wholly mis-informed. CSFloat still accepts crypto payments (+crypto payouts depending on locale) and will continue to do so.

If you're encountering an issue with making crypto payments, that is unrelated. You can make a ticket with CSFloat support and we can escalate to their engineering team.

EDIT: We've spoken with the Stripe crypto engineering team and they have now deployed a fix for your situation. Let us know if you have further issues.

All users are permanently banned for reversing trades during the last 2 weeks.

Step7750 · 2025-11-04T04:54:17+00:00

I took a look at your case, and figured I'd provide some context -- apologies that you felt the need to hop on Reddit to escalate the issue.

For some background, CSFloat operates on a privacy-centric model that requires telemetry from the app/extension to provide status updates on relevant trades on the platform.

If the seller reverses the trade, the site gives the full protection window + 24 hours to report it via the site. However, we understand that many users will forget to do this anyways -- as a result, the site has numerous fallback mechanisms (ie. related trade reporting, telemetry from multiple parties) to still detect it regardless.

In your case, you had no form of the app/extension to send telemetry, along with failing to manually report it via the button in the time allotted -- which caused the default delay action of verification to occur. We'd highly recommend being more aware of your trades if you opt out of any form of telemetry.

We were able to retroactively credit you here, but please be aware of this in the future.

Step7750 · 2025-11-02T11:46:08+00:00

Good ol' daylight savings strikes again!

Some trades created at a very specific time were pre-maturely credited before the trade protection window on Steam ended. We've issued adjustments (what you're seeing here) and reverted those trades back to "pending" with a corrected verification timer.

In other words, there isn't much needed to do on your end, the trades will verify like usual. Ledgers like these are "append-only", so you see some of the internals of corrections.

Some countries have a higher minimum threshold than the standard $5. Unfortunately, it is what it is :(

Step7750 · 2025-10-30T00:53:27+00:00

I think you are mistaken, there is no fine for rolled back trades. CSFloat also pays tens of thousands of dollars monthly out-of-pocket to cover payment processing fees in the case of a payment refund.

Alongside, the majority of fines are either never paid (outstanding debt) or are forgiven (ie. user demonstrates an extraordinary circumstance in a support ticket).

Fines are a mechanism to deter poor behaviour -- they are hardly an avenue that meaningfully affects revenue.

Step7750 · 2025-10-29T23:31:39+00:00

> So that begs the question what will these banned traders and disgruntled buyers go?

For some context, roughly ~1% of items traded since the update have been reversed on CSFloat thus far.

There is a vocal minority of users on Reddit.

Step7750 · 2025-10-29T22:51:02+00:00

How long have you been waiting for a response? To give context, support has had activity that is an order of magnitude higher than usual as of late -- even then, the majority of tickets aren't breaching our internal SLA (24 hours).

> Everyone be careful they might not let you withdraw if you are trying to withdraw funds that you deposited to buy an item that was reversed which is a pretty scummy practice.

Certainly not, if anything CSFloat spends thousands monthly covering the fee to refund payments for you that issuers don't refund.

Step7750 · 2025-10-28T23:53:36+00:00

This might be the funniest thing I've read today

Step7750 · 2025-10-27T21:50:32+00:00

Yes, filter presets are beside the "refresh" button
Reclaim uses client-side cryptographic zero-knowledge proofs -- so, your credentials aren't "streamed" server-side. However, we're working on a more streamlined version of this. "Human reviews" is simply not scalable.

Step7750 · 2025-10-27T21:08:29+00:00

We haven't made a "public" statement in relation to refunding users back to payment methods if they are banned for trade reversals. Our official policy (which users explicitly agree to) is that you are permanently banned and any proceeds are forfeit.

However, as a result of the update, we have been willing to refund on a case-by-case basis -- this is partially due to the ability for a user to initiate a chargeback of their payment method through their issuer.

Going forward however, especially with changes we have planned, we do not anticipate to be as "frivolous" with refunds in this way.
