Valve has introduced a new feature to their ever-growing trading service on Steam, this time allowing players to send prepackaged trade offers to friends. Similar to regular trading, Trade Offers allows players to formulate a pre-determined package instead of going back and forth trading single items.

Today we’re shipping a new feature we’re calling Trade Offers that allows you to send a prepackaged trade to a friend. It’s similar to regular trading, except you propose the items for both sides. You select the items you’re willing to give up from your inventory and what you’d like to receive from your friend, and send it off. Your friend will receive a notification in the green drop down and can then choose to accept, decline, or make a counter offer. Unlike regular Steam Trading, you don't need to both be online at the same time. Plus, trade offers can be sent and received using a web browser.

You can create an offer from a few places: from the Trade Offers page in your Inventory, from a friend’s Inventory, and from any of your badge pages you can send a friend a trade offer based on the trading cards you still need collect.

Valve has also outlined that players aren't restricted to only one person per package, with the ability to send one package to any number of friends. Though if someone does decide that your offer sounds good, all other offers will expire.

If you would like to try this out now, Valve recommends navigating your way to the Trade Offers page, but you can also check the official announcement for a small FAQ list.
