Your Steam inventory is private

The notification "Your Steam inventory is private" means your Steam inventory is visible only to you. A trade offer can't be sent to an account with a private inventory, so the item came back to your inventory on the site.


How to fix it


  1. Open your Steam privacy settings.
  2. Set both "My profile" and "Inventory" to "Public". The inventory can't be more public than the profile, so both need to be open.
  3. Wait a few minutes: Steam doesn't apply the settings instantly.
  4. Click "Withdraw to Steam" again.
