We are pleased to release our new addition to Dispenser.tf - Market.

Here is a short FAQ about the new site, hopefully it will answer most commonly asked questions.

1. What is the difference between Dispenser.tf market and the Steam's community market?

Here is a few:

a. Our base credit is "Key" and "Bitcoin".
b. We feature trading between Bitcoin, Steam gifts (including untradable ones) and key interchanging.
c. Our fee is much lower than Steam market's, which should result in lowered item price.
d. We do not have the design flaw that the final exchange price only follows the user's input price, but ignoring if there are better price orders on the book.

2. Why make a market system at all?

We have been criticized for being too buyer unfriendly for having a poor search system and a somewhat complicated interface. The old system could not be further improved due to technical difficulties. For example, we could sort items by price as we did not have a common currency. We hope a market system can solve many of these problems and at the same time adds useful features. Also, there is a need to change the business model so that the website is actually self-sustainable and rewarding for increasing the amount of users. In our old model, more people using the website gives us no real benefit but paying more for the maintenance.

3. What will happen to the old system?

The old system will be kept for now. If you prefer the old style, you still can create those 'tradition trades'. However, we will no longer list these trades under the main page and search also won't support it. As a seller, that means you will have to send out your trade links directly to your buyers. The old system won't be developed much anymore. It's only kept to waive fee for sellers who have their own customers base and do not rely on the site to get exposure.

4. What is the new fee system?

We will be charging fee to support the long-term development of the site. It is a progressive structure that the fee percent is based on the volume traded in 30 days.

June is going to be the public beta testing period. We will not be taking any fees until July 13 BTC issue is resolved. But the trade volume you have made in this period will still be counted, which means your fee could be as low as 0.25% once we start taking fee.

5. Are there any other updates to the site?

In addition to the market, we have made two very important updates to fix certain important problems.

a. CS:GO trading no longer uses Valve's abandoned API. There should be no longer any downtime for CS:GO trading and at the same time we have added skin, exteriors and various item info to all CS:GO items.

b. Gem, trading cards and other community items now will be distributed via centralized bots, to bypass a limitation added by Valve recently that disabled limited accounts (including our bots) for trading these items. You may now notice trade offers coming from non-shop bots when you exchange these items.

c. Lots of bug fixes and an interface change, mainly to adapt to the market system.

6. So, how should I get started?

As a buyer, the only real change about purchasing item is that there is one more step involved: depositing keys for credit. After you have convert your keys to credit, you will search and buy your items just like how you used to, in a slightly different interface. But if you have experience in the Steam market or other similar markets, our market should not be difficult to use at all. It is like Steam market with keys and Bitcoin as currency. Please read the FAQ if you need some help.

As a seller, making orders may be more troublesome than before if you have many different types of items, due to the limitation that you can only update one market at a time. But now you have more options for your trades, for example selling a gift for 6.05 keys, or re-selling gifts by putting ask and bid orders in the same market etc. We will continue to improve the interface so that handling a lot of gifts could be easier. Before creating orders, please make sure you are in the correct market (key/BTC). Please also remember the price is in TF2 keys.

NOTE: If you have Steam community items prior to the update, please re-deposit them all. We need to re-index these items.

can we transfer credits to bot? instead of steam account

"10" seems as "1e+1"

If i place first any of my games for 5 key exp, why if some one other put after xxh same game with same price, why is the place above me on the market ?

Bacause no one scroll down to buy from the last seller, all are buying from the first.. And if i put first the game with this price, i need to be first on the list .

As I see you transformed our trades into the new market system without asking us. Will we and our customers have to pay fees if someone uses the new market system to buy a game from me? (After July or so)
What if I only want to use the old system?

I have Far cry 3, and Far cry 3 deluxe. Even though I get 3 types of ROW results when searching for Far Cry 3, I only get my deluxe version in the market system. Why isn't this working right?

Will the sellers be rotated in the market section? Or they just have to put smaller and smaller prices to be below each other?

Hey Joto, the ask order button is not working on the bitcoin part, please fix it, thank you.

Edit: Tried with Chrome, Firefox, and IE, none of them works.

Will the sellers be rotated in the market section? Or they just have to put smaller and smaller prices to be below each other?

I agree with Thoth. It must be rotated for same price. Or sellers have to put .99 .98 .97 price for top position.

I don't really care about the Market, I only care about the old automated Trades/Old System that must be kept on Dispenser. Because of that this Dispenser Site is more popular now and because of Sellers not Buyers. So not caring about your Sellers on your own site is kinda ridiculous. We Sellers started buying VIP accounts, donating for more Shop Slots, donating in general just because Dispenser was great before the new Market system. Plus we Sellers made Dispenser a more popular site by advertising on different trading websites for Selling Games Automated, easy and safe. Keeping the Old Style Trades/System too is a must because that is why Dispenser is still alive. I know from experience before and a lot of people added me to ask how they can use the Shop. So this Market System is not easier or better for new Buyers and Sellers too. With Wishlist items like the Old System Trades will always be better. That's my opinion.

Friends explained to me the points I have to do to sell gifts, i create trade but i cant see it after search? Old trade system be so easy and its be great, but this new ******* oh.
