How to guarantee your money in Steam CS:GO trade?

Been trading in CS:GO for years and my biggest tip? Patience. Don’t rush into trades, especially with strangers. Use Steam’s trade offers system. It gives you time to review everything before you commit. And if someone’s rushing you or something feels off, better to cancel than cry over lost skins or money.

Honestly, the golden rule for Steam CS:GO trades is to always use the Steam Market or trade with people you absolutely trust. Steam has a built-in trading system that's secure, but once you step outside of it, you're entering risky territory. Always double-check the items being traded, never share your account info, and keep an eye out for scams, especially those too-good-to-be-true deals. Remember, if a trade needs to happen outside of Steam for whatever reason, it's probably not worth it.
