What is the 7 day trade cooldown?

A 7-day trade cooldown on Steam, primarily for Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) items, means that after receiving a trade, items are locked for 7 days, preventing them from being traded, modified (like applying stickers), or consumed (like opening cases), allowing for trade reversal if an account is compromised, but triggering a 30-day trading restriction for the user if reversed. This system, called Trade Protection, combats scams by giving users time to undo fraudulent trades, though it makes selling skins on third-party markets riskier as payments often wait for the 7 days to pass.
