Valve recently announced a new feature called Trade Offers which allows Steam users to send a “prepackaged trade” to friends without the need for both parties to be online at the same time.
Users select the items they would like to trade from their inventories and what they’d like to receive in return and send it off. Your friend will receive a notification in which they can choose to accept, decline or make a counter offer.
Trades can be initiated via the Trade Offers page, from a friends Inventory or from a badge page. As of now, this feature can only be used between friends. Trade Offers also abide by the users privacy settings so if a user has their inventory set to “Private” they will not be able to receive offers. Users can also send more than one offer containing the same items. When the offer is accepted by one friend it causes any other proposals with the same item to expire. Trade Offers automatically expire after two weeks. You can see the offers expiration date at the bottom of the pending offer. You can also cancel any pending offers from the Trade Offers page.
