How to Check CS2 Trade History: Steam + BUFF Market Guide 2026

You can check your CS2 (formerly CSGO) trade history via your Steam account or BUFF Market dashboard, and reviewing these records regularly helps you avoid failed trades, confirm deliveries, and protect your seller rating. This step-by-step guide covers everything casual players and active skin traders need to know to use their trade history effectively.

What Is CS2 Trade History and Why It Matters?

CS2 trade history is a complete log of all item exchanges processed via Steam Trade Offers, including trades with other players and third-party marketplace transactions. For active traders buying or selling on platforms like BUFF Market, reviewing this history regularly is non-negotiable: it lets you catch listing errors, confirm item deliveries, track trade cooldowns, and resolve disputes with a clear audit trail.

Step-by-Step: Check Your CS2 Trade History on Steam

Steam stores official records of every in-game item exchange for all users. Follow these steps to access your history: 1. Open the Steam desktop client or log in to Steam via your browser 2. Click your username in the top navigation bar 3. Select Inventory from the dropdown menu 4. Click the Trade Offers button near the top of the inventory page 5. Navigate to the History tab to view all past and pending trades

Your Steam trade history will display item thumbnails, trade partner usernames, exact trade date and time, and status icons (completed, pending, cancelled). For mobile users, the path is nearly identical: open the Steam app, tap the menu icon, select Your Inventory, tap Trade Offers, then select History. Note that free Steam accounts only display the last 2-3 months of trade history; paid accounts with a purchase older than 30 days can access up to 2 years of records.

Step-by-Step: Check Transaction History on BUFF Market

Your BUFF Market transaction history complements Steam records by tracking order details, payment processing, and platform-specific trade statuses. To access it: 1. Log in to your BUFF Market account 2. Click your profile icon in the top right corner 3. Select Account from the dropdown menu 4. Navigate to Order History or Transaction Records to view all activity

You can filter records by order type: Buy Orders, Direct Listing sales, Instant Listing completions, Counter-offer settlements, and referral rewards all have dedicated filters. Key status labels to know: - Pending: Trade is being processed or waiting for you to accept a Steam Trade Offer - Completed: Item has been delivered or payment has been released to your wallet - Cancelled: Trade failed for one of several reasons (covered in the troubleshooting section below) Always cross-reference completed BUFF Market orders with your Steam trade history to confirm all item and payment details match.

Understanding Trade Cooldowns in Your History

Trade cooldowns are temporary restrictions that make CS2 items non-tradable for a set period, and they appear in your Steam trade history as a tag reading non-tradable until [date]. Common triggers for cooldowns include Steam Guard setting changes, new device logins, and purchases made directly on the Steam Community Market. Always check cooldown statuses for any items you plan to list or buy before accepting a Trade Offer on BUFF Market. Trying to list a cooldown-restricted item will lead to a failed transaction, which can negatively impact your Seller Credit Score.

Using Trade History to Verify BUFF Market Orders

Cross-referencing your BUFF Market order history and Steam trade history is the best way to confirm you received the exact item you paid for, or that your sale was processed correctly. Below are common verification examples using live BUFF Market prices as of September 2026:

Skin Name Wear Price (Sept 2026, BUFF Market) Key Verification Check AK-47 Vulcan Battle-Scarred $108 AWP Black Box Minimal Wear $9.21 StatTrak™ AK-47 The Outsiders Field-Tested $13.99

For high-value items like the AK-47 | Vulcan, double-check the float value if you purchased a specific float tier. Always review your history immediately after using Instant Listing or accepting a Counter-offer to confirm delivery is complete, so you can report issues to support right away if they arise.

Troubleshooting Cancelled or Failed Trade Entries

If you see a cancelled or failed entry in your trade history, these are the most common causes and actionable fixes: 1. Expired Trade Offer: Steam Trade Offers expire after 14 days if not accepted. For buyers, re-submit your order; for sellers, re-list the item to reach new buyers. 2. Trade cooldown on either party: If you or your counterparty had an active cooldown when the trade was initiated, wait for the cooldown to end before re-listing or re-purchasing. 3. Item sold via another channel: If you listed the same item on multiple platforms, remove duplicate listings to avoid future failed trades. 4. Steam service outage: If Steam is down when the trade is processed, wait for service to be restored, then check if the trade completed automatically. Occasional failed trades have minimal impact on your BUFF Market Seller Credit Score, but repeated failures from avoidable issues like duplicate listings can lower your score over time. Both BUFF Market and Steam records serve as a full audit trail if you need to contact support for help resolving a discrepancy.

Pro Tips for Smarter Trading Using Your History Export or screenshot your trade history monthly for personal records, especially if you trade high-value items regularly. Use your order history to spot duplicate listings that could lead to accidental double-sales. Review cooldown statuses for all items in your inventory before using Bulk Supply to list multiple skins at once. Monitor your BUFF Market order history to track your fulfillment rate and how it impacts your Seller Credit Score over time. Check your transaction history periodically to confirm referral rewards are credited correctly for trades from users you referred.

FAQ How far back does my CS2 Steam trade history go?

Free Steam accounts only display the last 2-3 months of trade history. Paid Steam accounts with a purchase older than 30 days can access up to 2 years of trade records directly on Steam.

Do I need to check both Steam and BUFF Market trade history?

Yes. Steam history confirms the physical item was exchanged between accounts, while BUFF Market records confirm payment was processed or your order was fulfilled as requested. Cross-referencing both ensures no discrepancies in items or funds.

Will a failed trade entry hurt my BUFF Market Seller Credit Score?

Occasional failed trades due to Steam outages or accidental cooldown mistakes typically have minimal impact. Repeated failed trades from expired offers or duplicate listings can lower your score, so review your history regularly to fix gaps in your listing process.
