How to Buy Team Fortress 2 Items?
Keys by the unit and rare items, delivered by Steam trade offer with escrow.
Step 1
Browse Your Item
Visit the Team Fortress 2 items marketplace and filter the offers:
- Item type: Keys, Metal, Unusuals, Australiums, Killstreak Kits, Hats & Cosmetics, Weapons, Taunts, Other
- Price range
- Delivery time
- Seller rating
Key listings show the price of one key and the stock available. Other cards name the item and its quality.
Step 2
Set Quantity and Seller
Keys are sold per unit, so enter how many you need at checkout. Then choose the seller level you are comfortable with:
- Normal Seller: 7-day warranty with standard escrow cover.
- Top Seller: Good delivery history, with a 14-day warranty.
- Mythic Seller: Vetted for reliability, also with 14 days.
Read the rating, past orders and feedback before you buy.
Step 3
Optional Warranty Upgrade
Some TF2 listings let you add more protection:
- Lifetime Warranty for longer cover on larger orders
- Added only when you choose it before payment
- A sensible pick for Unusuals or large key orders
Any add-on is shown on the listing page next to the buy button.
Step 4
Secure Payment
More than 150 payment methods are supported, including Stripe, Skrill, Paysera and Coinbase.
Payment data is encrypted, and your money is held by EB24 rather than the seller.
Step 5
Delivery
When payment clears, the seller sends your order as a Steam trade offer:
- Trade URL: Share your Steam trade URL in Order Chat.
- Instant or Scheduled: The offer is sent right away or within the 1h, 3h, 6h or 12h window you picked.
- Steam Guard: Keep the Mobile Authenticator on so Steam does not hold the trade.
Check the key count or item details in the trade window before you accept.
Step 6
Need Help?
Use Order Chat to agree timing or ask about an effect or killstreak tier.
Still stuck? Live Chat Support and support tickets are available, just include your order number.
Step 7
Disputes
If your TF2 trade is not what you paid for:
- 1. Decline the offer and message the seller in Order Chat.
- 2. Open a Dispute from the order page within your warranty.
- 3. EB24 Arbitration reviews the messages and delivery record.
Funds are only released once the case is closed.
Step 8
Compare Before You Confirm
Keys trade like a currency while rare items are priced on their details, so compare inside one item type.
- Compare the unit price across key offers
- Check the effect on each Unusual before comparing prices
Several cards side by side give a clear picture of the going price.
