Hide Steam Gifts in results?

TGP1994

Since it seems like Steam Gifts are especially dangerous to trade, would it be possible to have an option added so that Steam Gifts are excluded from search results, and price calculations? Perhaps a system to exclude results & stores with certain properties like that, and extra fees.

Hello,
Selling Steam Gifts is a violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement.
Please, provide an example of search that give steam gifts offers as a result.
Regards.

Edit: Found Steam Gift offers on those pages:
https://gg.deals/game/project-zomboid/
https://gg.deals/pack/project-zomboid-and-tabletop-simulator/
Some keyshop deals contains "Steam Gift" in their title.

The problem is: Is there a way to discern what is a steam gift offer and what is not, from the data extracted from Stores?
I don't think so, and that's why the best that can be done is to warn the user of the risk involved with Stores that are known to sell or have sold Steam Gifts.

Maybe filtering out deals that contains "Steam Gift" in their title could be a first step?

We already have a warning about this in risks: https://gg.deals/page/keyshops-risks/#selling-steam-gifts

I think you've made good points. I wasn't quite sure what data was available to the gg.deals search spider. If a specific indicator isn't provided for steam gifts, then simply doing a text search may be the next best alternative.

I also think that a global setting to filter keyshops based on a choice of risk would be useful.
I guess a checkbox list with the risk types could be presented to the user when setting the filter.
