What is the Trade Protection in detail?
What that means for all P2P marketplaces: Any trade done on their platform can be reversed within 7 days. If no preventive measures had been taken, the buyer would essentially be left without the money and the item if a revert occurs, as funds are traditionally transferred to the seller's account instantly upon trade.
How does the Trade Protection Update impact trading on CS.MONEY
In terms of selling, the Market balance is now only withdrawable after 8 days, to avoid cancellation risk. In other words, your balance from sold items will be available for withdrawal 8 days after the sale. More information can also be found here: CS.MONEY FAQ.
