Hi Joto,

Lately I've been receiving a lot of questions regarding how does exactly the trade>gift system works from people trying to buy from my store.

Could you please be so kind to explain exactly how it happens? You can only send gifts to people that are on your friends list, so how exactly once you choose an untradable gift, it actually gets send to your seller? I know it works, of course, but I'd would really like to know the correct technical response to give to my potential buyers so it can put their mind a little bit at ease and lower the amount of declined trades from people who needs this kind of info before committing to a gift purchase.

Thank you. And also thank you for implementing the warning on gifted games. Much appreciated. :)

Technically, if you send gifts without using Steam's UI, you can send to anyone on the Steam network.

Thank you for the prompt reply. :)
