Supported Games & Trade Flows

Market VPSBot supports four Steam games. Each game has a different trade flow depending on whether items are reversible (can be rolled back) and whether Steam enforces a trade hold.

Games Overview

Game	Game ID	Trade Hold	Items Reversible	Balance Strategy
CS2	730	7-8 days	Yes	FREEZE_BALANCE
Dota 2	570	7-8 days	No	BALANCE

Dota 2 (570)

Dota 2 items have a 7-8 day trade hold but trades cannot be rolled back once accepted. Since items are irreversible, funds go directly to the seller's main balance.

Trade Flow

                                    ┌─── declined (buyer-side failure)
                                    │
  processing ──┬────────────────────┤
               │                    └─── cancelled (seller-side failure)
               │                         (auto-cancel after 5 min if buyer doesn't react)
               │
               └─── completed (funds credited directly to seller's balance)

Status Details

Status	Balance Effect
processing	Buyer's balance deducted
completed	Seller receives funds directly in main balance (no freeze)
declined / cancelled	Buyer fully refunded

INFO

Dota 2 skips the accepted status entirely. On Steam acceptance, the trade goes straight to completed.

Balance Strategies

FREEZE_BALANCE (CS2 only)

1. On trade acceptance: seller's frozen_balance is credited
2. Settlement period (7-8 days): either party can roll back
3. After settlement: funds move from frozen_balance to balance

BALANCE (Dota 2, TF2, Rust)

1. On trade acceptance: seller's balance is credited directly
2. No settlement wait, no rollback possible
3. Trade immediately transitions to completed
