Trading

Steam Market guide

Selling, buying and trading Task Bar Hero items on Steam. Cooldowns, rules and the v1.00.07 policy change that broke a lot of inventories.

How to sell an item

  1. 1
    In-game

    Open your inventory, right-click any item whose icon shows the Steam Market badge.

  2. 2
    Confirm tradability

    Items rolled before v1.00.07 in the now-removed Uncommon Type B pool are kept but locked — they no longer appear in the Market listing dialog.

  3. 3
    List it

    Pick a price in your local currency. Steam takes a ~13% fee (10% Steam + 3-5% app fee).

  4. 4
    Wait for the buyer

    Listings sit in the queue until a buyer matches your asking price. You can cancel and re-list at any time.

  5. 5
    Currency returns to your Steam Wallet

    Funds go to your Wallet, not PayPal. You can use them anywhere on Steam.

How to buy / receive items

  1. 1
    Open Steam Community Market

    Search the game's Market page or paste the item URL.

  2. 2
    Pay from your Steam Wallet

    Funds need to be on your Wallet — credit cards work too.

  3. 3
    Wait for the mailbox

    After purchase the item lands in your TBH mailbox within ~10 seconds. Click the mailbox to claim it into your inventory.

  4. 4
    7-day resale lock

    You can use the item immediately, but cannot re-list it on the Market until 7 days pass.

Troubleshooting: "My item isn't showing"

Bought it but it's not in my inventory: wait 10-30 seconds for the mailbox to sync, then refresh the game. If still missing after 2 minutes, restart the game client.

Can't list it for sale: the item must be tradable. Items earned in pre-v1.00.07 builds of the Uncommon Type B pool were retroactively delisted. Check the badge on the item page.

Item shows but won't sell: 7-day resale lock applies to anything you bought on the Market. Items you found in-game can be listed immediately.
