I recently made a trade with a guy, and it worked fine and I got the email verification for the trade, but now when I try to trade with other people I don't get any emails from steam, at all, I can't get into my steam support account either, anyone know a fix? I know I have the right email address.

Hey Fallconn, thanks for the trade ^^
What I would say is that you should create a separate steam support account. Nothing on steam is needed to be able to create a steam support account, just your email address and name. I had the same problems lately, but after contacting steam support, they did managed to help solve the situation, saying it was because of steam community server not working (as always >.>).

Steam added the TUP TIEUR SJEKTIURIEI thing that forces everyone to confirm trades via e-mail, and this cannot be bypassed. You should either switch email or battle with steam support bots or as Meep said: Make new Steam account that will be for trades: Since you can send items via ingame mail, you can trade it from other account, perhaps one at other mail host.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

You need to confirm trades via email? Not too long ago, me and my friend did a few trades, and it didn't have any limitations. Is this something new?

It's probably only imposed on trades where the participants have not been friends for very long, because that'll be the case with phishing and such.

Last trade I made was with friend that is on my Steam for exactly 11 months and still had to confirm via email, so I guess it's pretty long time before you can bypass it.
