    Well contact them and ask them what they want.
    We really need that extra context before accepting a report here.

    Contact has been made, they insist on wanting an item of mine and claim they have good trades for it and send someone else's backpack. Rather amusing how they would pay an extra 18 keys for a 2 key item. As soon as I said that the SteamIDs don't align, they blocked me.

    I can't see the link they sent you - you still have images embedded on steam chat turned on. Can you show the link?

    no I need to see the link they sent you in steam chat - not the image of backpack.tf whatever.
    You have images embedded enabled by default on steam chat - turn that crap off.

    The link I sent is the one they had in the convo, I already closed it though so I just took it from their profile description. Could you also tell me where the setting is, I can't find it.

    Ok I need to SEE IT.... in the chat. The settings are the chat settings. Ask a friend to help, its easy to find on the chat box.
    But if you closed it you can still reopen it and show it once settings changed if you haven't unfriended them

    Yeah they blocked me as soon as I sent that last message and I had already closed it (my bad sry) so there's no way to recover it. Apologies for that, but thank you for the tip. The screenshot's preview and the page's contents line up so they should be the same link.

    ok, from now on make sure you do that. I'll need a full screenshot of their profile showing the URL at the bottom of the page as noted in our screenshot guide.

    I think that should be the proper image, the remainder of the profile is that demo icon and a gif of lots of keys. The my profile link is nothing as it redirects right back to that page. Thank you for showing me the proper way to fill out a report.
