    Hey SteamREP, my name is Shickzter and I am a quite experienced unusual trader. I am buying a QuickSell off someone, but they currently are on a Trade Probation. After half year of trading, I have never came up with someone currently that has a Trade Probation mark by Steam. Though I have came across alot of Trade Bans. Is a Trade Probation something relating to Trade Bans? If it is, will I get banned if trading with the person? Will I get marked if I trade with them? Any information about Trade Probation you can give me will be very appreciated. FYI, he has Backpack.tf Premium and is TRADE BANNED on TF2Outpost. I won't name and shame now, but if you need his profile link... I will sure give it to you SteamRep Contributers!

    As far as I can recall when I was with SR; SR has no restriction against trading with a Steam Trade Probation account.
    Saying that....
    They are other circumstances where users, in addition, may have banned tags on SR/banned at various comms or have pending reports against them/may look like an obvious alt. Those factors would affect any potential trading under SRs "trading w/scammer" policy.

    SR staff: If my post is inaccurate, feel free to edit/delete it at will.
