Did you try messaging the seller?  
Are you sign into stream?  
Its saying _possibly due to steam service being unavailable_

I don’t know why gameflip let people sell h1z1 items and pubg. Steam has announced that items retrieving outside of steam is not possible anymore, so that means You can not buy or sell anymore, just on steam market. There were people complaining on reddit, in very big subreddits with 100k + members… @DunnBiscuit . They also said Gameflip denied to refund them

A lot of people complain about that everywhere. It is not up to gameflip… it is up to steam, steam banned item trading outside of steam

any source? cuz i bought today skins (csgo) and sold some without any problem

I thiink gameflip has to restart bots cuz i cannot withdraw some of mine items as well. But in my inventory still i can trade them.

PUBG items were blocked by bluehole (developer of the game, not valve), about h1z1 idk.

Here is more like bots are offline cuz gameflip cant connect to steam account.
