Belethor Market

Last updated 26 September 2026

Terms

How trading here works and what each side undertakes, in plain language. If something is not covered, ask before you trade.

01What this is

Belethor Market is a market between players for Team Fortress 2 items and Steam Gems. It is not a dealer. Every price on the book is somebody’s standing offer — another trader’s, or ours, queued on the same terms. We do not quote a price, and we are not the other side of your trade unless one of our own orders is the one you match.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Valve Corporation or Steam.

02Your account

You can sign in with Steam, or make an account with a username and password. If you sign in with Steam, it must be your own Steam account. Keep it secure: whoever holds your Steam sign-in holds this account too, and trades made from it are treated as yours.

We may suspend an account that we reasonably believe is being used for fraud, to move stolen items, or against these terms. A suspended account cannot trade, deposit or withdraw while we look into it, and we will tell you what we need to resolve it.

04Depositing items

We accept Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys, Refined Metal and Tour of Duty Tickets from Team Fortress 2, and Steam Gems loose or by the Sack of Gems. When you start a deposit, our bot sends you one trade offer asking for exactly what you chose. You have an hour to accept it; after that it is withdrawn and you can start again.

Items are credited to you when the trade completes. Send items only through an offer we sent you for a deposit you started. If what arrives does not match what was asked for, or arrives some other way, nothing is credited automatically — contact support and we will sort it out with you.

05Items we hold for you

Items you deposit remain yours. We hold them in Steam accounts we control so that a trade on the book can settle instantly, and we do not lend, sell or otherwise use them. Anything not promised to a resting order or already on its way out can be withdrawn at any time.

Holding items on Steam carries Steam’s own risks — trade holds, outages, and restrictions Valve places on accounts — which are outside our control. If one of them delays your items, we will tell you and send them as soon as Steam allows.

06Withdrawals

Withdrawals are sent by Steam trade offer to your trade link, one offer for each kind of item, or one per bot account if we hold it across more than one. Withdrawing is free. Items listed on the book have to be taken off it first. While trading is paused, withdrawals wait in the queue and go out once it resumes.

07Septim

Septim is a balance denominated in US dollars: one Septim is one dollar. You add it by sending USDT or USDC on BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) to the address on your Add Septim page, and it is credited once the chain confirms the transaction. Coins sent on any other network cannot be recovered.

You can cash Septim out to an address you give us, less the network fee measured at the time. Septim held behind a bid resting on the book is released when you cancel the bid. Septim pays no interest, is not a deposit account, and is not money held on trust — treat it as a balance with a trading venue.

08Trading on the book

An order you post rests on the book until it is filled or you take it off, which you can do at any time. When two orders meet the trade happens at once, at the resting order’s price, and items and Septim move between the two accounts here. A filled trade is final and cannot be undone by either side.

09Fees

A quarter percent from the buyer and a quarter percent from the seller when an order fills. Nothing to list, cancel, deposit or withdraw items. Cashing out Septim pays the network fee; we take no cut of it. The fee in force is shown on every order before you place it, and a change to it never applies to a trade that has already happened.

10What you may not do

  • Deposit or trade items that are stolen or that you do not have the right to sell.
  • Use the shop to defraud anyone, or to move money for somebody else.
  • Trade with yourself, or with others in concert, to move a price.
  • Take advantage of a fault in the shop instead of reporting it to us.
  • Pretend to be us, or to be our support, to anyone.

11Pausing and refusal

We may close a book, pause trading or the bots, or refuse an order where we suspect fraud or stolen goods, or where we cannot currently honour it. Closing a book stops new orders and cancels nothing: what is already resting stays at the same price and place in the queue, and you can still take it off.

12Changes to these terms

When these terms change, this page changes and the date at the top moves. A change never reaches back to a trade that has already happened. If you keep trading after a change, the new terms apply from then on.
