Trade lock? It's like putting your new skins in a digital time-out corner. You trade or buy an item and boom, can't touch it for another week.

Trade lock's annoying but needed. Keeps the scammers at bay by freezing your items for a week after trading. Gives Valve time to catch any fishy business.

Actually, trade lock helps keep the CS:GO market healthy. Stops rapid buy/sell scams. Sure, waiting sucks, but it's for the good of the game.

Trade lock in CS:GO is basically Valve putting your newly traded or bought items on a timeout. So, if you get a new skin or any item through a trade or a purchase, you can't trade it again straight away. You gotta wait usually about 7 days. It's their way to combat scams and fraud, making sure stolen items don’t get passed around too quickly.
