# Your Steam account has a trade ban

The notification "Your Steam account has a trade ban" means Steam has blocked trading on your account. While the ban is active, items can't be withdrawn to this account. The item came back to your inventory on the site.

## What you can do

- Only [Steam Support](https://help.steampowered.com/) can tell you why the ban was issued or lift it. We can't remove a Steam ban.
- The item stays in your inventory on the site: you can sell it for balance.
