Everything people ask before their first trade, and the two things worth knowing before their second.
An automated Steam account that trades with you 24/7 at a set rate. You send it items, it sends items back, and nobody waits for a human to wake up. Most of them trade trading card sets for TF2 keys or Steam gems, which is how people level a Steam profile up cheaply.
Most level up bots take TF2 keys and Steam gems. Some also take TF2 Tour of Duty tickets, the Mann vs. Machine ticket. A ticket bought on the Steam Market cannot be traded for 7 days. CS2 keys, Hydra keys included, cannot be traded for card sets at all: Steam does not allow Counter-Strike 2 items in the same trade as items from games without its trade protection, and trading cards are one of those.
Some do. Event cards are the card sets Steam gives out during its big sales and The Steam Awards, and they are priced apart from ordinary sets because their price moves with the sale. Our own bot keeps the events it knows, and any its owner adds, out of its normal stock, so it will not sell them to you or take them from you as ordinary sets. If its owner switches event trading on, you can buy event sets from it with !BUYEVENT and sell yours to it with !SELLEVENT, at their own rates; only an event's regular cards count, never its Mysterious ones.
Pick a bot from the list and add it on Steam. Type !commands, then !check to see how many sets you can get. Read the trade offer before you accept it.
Trading with a bot is as safe as trading with anybody on Steam, which means the risk is real and it is yours. We check that whoever listed a bot controls its Steam account, and a person reads every listing, but we do not check the trades themselves. Never send items first, always read the offer before accepting it, and treat anybody asking you to trade off Steam as a scammer.
Because it has not reported to us for over eight hours, usually meaning it is offline. We mark it rather than hiding it or showing yesterday's price as though it were today's. Ask the bot for its rate before you trade with it.
Add it from the button at the top of any category page. Then sign in to SteamTradeX with the bot's own Steam account and approve it, which proves the bot is yours. Listing is free, it stays free, and a person reads every listing before it appears. Your bot then updates its own rates and stock automatically through a free Listing API key.
Listing your bot is free. Featuring it, so it also shows in the Featured table at the top of its page, is 1 TF2 key a week. Our bot script, to run our own bot on your own server, is 30 TF2 keys once. An advert is 1 TF2 key a week, and your first advert's first month is free. Everything is paid in TF2 keys from your key bank. The Inventory API is paid by the request, 7,000 requests a TF2 key, and private, empty and failed reads are free.
The list itself cannot be bought: it is ordered by which bots reported most recently, so the ones actually running come first. Two things are for sale above it. Featuring your bot, for 1 TF2 key a week, shows it again in a Featured table at the top. And the six banners at the very top are adverts, the same six on every page, at 1 TF2 key a week each.
Yes. The bot script is our own level up bot, sold as a lifetime licence with lifetime updates to run on your own server. It is 30 TF2 keys, paid once from your Key Bank. No monthly or yearly fee. One licence runs on one server at a time, with any number of bots on it. See the self hosted bot.
Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 or 26.04 LTS, or Debian 12 or 13, on x86_64 or arm64, with systemd. At least 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM (2 GB for 3 or more bots) and 10 GB of disk. Other distributions may work but are not supported. The install is one command, made for you on the Bot Script page. It takes about fifteen minutes, and there is no file to edit. Read the install guide.
A lifetime licence with lifetime updates: every update is included, at no extra cost, for as long as SteamTradeX runs. Updates are signed and checked by the bot, which installs them itself by default (Auto). You can choose Notify or Off on its dashboard.
It is only open on your own server unless you put it on your own domain. The dashboard asks for its password again before a change that could cost you the bot or its stock: the owner, the admins, where the dashboard answers, the Telegram chat and the Telegram bot your notices come from, the Card Suppliers the bot buys from, the links it gives your customers, the trade limits, the automatic pricing settings, a rate moved by more than 25% against you, and every withdrawal. Each bot has Start, Stop and Restart buttons on the dashboard, and a search box at the top of the menu finds any setting.
Yes. The installer is signed with our release key, like every release, and its signature is published beside it. The install guide shows the few commands that check it before you run it. Read the install guide.
The script runs on your own server, and its licence, LICENSE.txt, says what you may do with it. The free basic edition's code is public on GitHub. See the free edition on GitHub.
Yes. The Inventory API reads any public Steam inventory live for your trading bot, up to 2,000 items a request. It is paid in TF2 keys: 7,000 requests a key, or 8,000 when you buy 10 or more. Private, empty and failed reads are free, and there are 100 free requests to try it. See the Inventory API.
The Listing API is free and is for bots listed here: your bot sends us its own rates and stock, so its listing stays current. The Inventory API is paid: your bot asks us for a customer's Steam inventory and gets it back live. They have different keys, and a key for one does not work on the other. Read the API docs.
Share your code from Refer a friend. Every TF2 key the people you refer spend with us earns you 10 points, and every 170 points is a free TF2 key in your key bank, added automatically. Only keys they paid in count, and referring yourself stops the points.
By email, for sign-in codes, payment updates and alerts. You can also connect Telegram from your account page to get alerts there, such as when an advert is reviewed.
Yes, and they are listed here on the same terms as everybody else's, with the same rates shown and no special position. Our bot script, featured listings and adverts are what pay for this directory, and why listing on it is free.
