Steam announces Community market for buying and selling with Steam Wallet

Currently in BETA mode with TF2, Steam introduced the community market to let users buy and sell in-game items using Steam Wallet funds. Most likely, other games will be added in to the market in the new year- at least once all the creases have been ironed out and the facility is better tested.

According to the press release, Steam says:

With over a half million trades made every week, the trading system has been very successful. Extending game economies beyond trades and giving players a way to turn gameplay into funds for new items and games is a key component for moving that success forward.

As of now, the in-game items are crates, keys for the krates and items such as Name tag, description tag, decal tool, posthumours kills starting as low as $0.02 and upto $0.52 depending on the item’s actual value.
