In late 2019, Valve updated key mechanics so that any key purchased in-game is permanently tied to the account that bought it. It cannot be sold on the market or traded to other players.
Keys purchased before the 2019 update remain tradable and marketable, which is why their prices on the Steam Community Market are so high—they are treated as a form of "currency" by high-tier traders.
If i refund, does my trading and market restrictions come back?
The most straightforward way is to open your in-game inventory, right-click a case, and select "Unlock Container." This prompts a direct purchase through your Steam Wallet .
