Hi Maplers, 

We are excited to announce that the v.258 update will include a beta feature enabling the trading of various cosmetic items through the Steam Community Market. Access to this functionality will be available in-game and will include the ability to manage or add items into your respective Steam Inventory!

What is the Steam Community Market?

• A dedicated marketplace within the Steam platform, where players can trade items using the Steam Wallet.[/*]
• The value of Steam marketplace items is determined by player transactions and prices may fluctuate according to supply and demand.[/*]
• Items that can be traded have no impact on in-game balance, and players neither lose nor gain anything even if they do not purchase any items.[/*]

Trading Guidelines:
Eligible Accounts

• Nexon accounts linked with a Steam account can access the in-game Steam Inventory UI.[/*]
• The linked Steam account must meet Steam's eligibility requirements for using the Steam Community Market.[/*]
• Once your Steam account is linked, you can still access your Steam Inventory UI in the game even if you launch MapleStory through the Nexon Launcher.[/*]

Target Worlds & Regions

• Trades can be made in both Interactive and Heroic Worlds, and can even be made between Interactive and Heroic Worlds.[/*]
• Trades can be made in both North America and Europe regions, and can even be made between the two regions. [/*]

Target Items

• Cosmetic items from Surprise Style Boxes sold from January 2017 until now are included in the list of items that can be traded.[list]
• This restriction is to help better verify the stability of trades during this beta service period.[/*]
• The list of items is subject to change at any time.[/*]

[/*][*]Only items that are untradable can be sold in the Steam Community Market. As such, items purchased from the Steam Community Market will be untradeable in-game. So, please be mindful when trading.[/*][/list]

Oswell's Scissors of Karma:
What are Oswell's Scissors of Karma?

• In order to trade items from Global MapleStory, Oswell’s Scissors of Karma must be used to move an item from your inventory to your Steam Inventory.[/*]
• Only items that have been moved to your Steam Inventory can be viewed in the Steam Community Market storage. [/*]

Notice:

• The Steam Market is a separate platform from Nexon, so please forward any inquiries or requests for support to Steam Customer Support if you experience any issues.[/*]
• All transactions are made through the Steam Wallet.[/*]
• Before trading, please be sure to check the Steam Community Market FAQ and Trading and Market Restrictions on the official Steam website.[/*]
• Due to Dutch law, players in the Netherlands cannot access the in-game Steam Inventory UI.[/*]
