Check my account for restrictions

There are many trade restrictions on Steam that can be applied for different reasons (for example, changing your nickname, resetting your password, etc.). You can check if your account has any restrictions by following this link.

If you see the standard trade screen, your account is fine. Otherwise, there will be an error message. You can find more information about your specific error on the relevant FAQ page.

Additional information about trading restrictions is also available on the Steam Support page.
