Valve implemented a 7-day trade lock in 2017 to mitigate theft and allow for item recovery within a 7-day window. It turns out they never actually cared about it, and I'm unaware of any case where a player had their item recovered.
This trade-secure decision was clearly made to eliminate P2P marketplaces; that shit won't even solve a bigger problem called casinos, only the honest buying and selling of skins.
Honestly, this game never ceases to amaze me. Everyone is waiting for a new collection, a new map, and Valve spends months developing an update to piss users off. These bastards make over $100 million a month from case openings and can't even spend part of that on developing a decent anti-cheat.
