Question Offer is not active, so it may not be accepted

[Mr Game and Watch]

Hello!

Today I'm getting this error while accepting offers (incoming ones or the ones I create): Offer #XXXXXXXXX is not active, so it may not be accepted.

 

Then, the only way I have to confirm the trade is using the mobile App and then stop the bot few hours to avoid this problem... but it persists.

 

Waht does it mean is "not active"? How can I avoid it?

 

Thanks for reading me!

You can never accept an offer you create. Accepting is an action that can only be done by the trade recipient. If this happens when accepting incoming trades, that means they aren't active. They've already been accepted or declined or canceled.

Thanks for your answer.

 

The weird part of this inactive offers is that when I try to accept, it says is inactive but I can see them in the web version and then I need to accept them with SteamApp

 

Now it works ok again, but if this happens again I will re-open this topic with more details.

 

Thanks again!
