    Dear SR,

    Well, quite a few months ago, I was trading around and was selling my clean Kringle on TF2, at the time, I also had a dirty one. During our trade, I misclicked, and put up the dirty one (they were right next to each other in the trade), and ready'd up. I'm unsure as to why the guy I was trading with didn't check and make sure it was clean, because he ready'd up also, and did the trade. He had paid for a clean Kringle, and got a dirty one. Immediately after the trade, he called me a scammer and said he was going to report me for quickswitching. The funny part was, I didn't attempt to make the trade go faster either, he just assumed I had quickswitched him. I was going to offer to refund it, but he started insulting me and was being very stubborn about the matter. I was seconds from removing him anyway, as it was HIS fault for not looking at the trade, not mine, and so I played along and pretended to taunt him for getting scammed out of 1 refined.

    This player takes my sarcastic remarks and posts a screenshot of the conversation to a large amount of trading websites, including TF2outpost, the tf2trade subreddit, and of course, SteamRep. I get banned, permanently, from a large number of trading sites for him not paying attention to the trade, and losing one refined out of it.

    That was months ago, and I've wanted to get back into trading recently, but it's becoming difficult to sell any items when i'm banned from such a large community of traders and their websites. Hell, i'll refund him the full price of a Kringle right now if he'd like, I'd just really like to get back into TF2 trading, and I can't because of a stupid trade that happened months ago.

    Thanks for reading this!
