How to Find Trades Fast — Search, Wishlist & Steam Lookup on TRADANYA
TRADANYA has three powerful discovery tools that help you find the exact trade you are looking for in seconds — without manually scrolling through hundreds of listings.
Tool 1 — The Search System
The Search feature (available in the navigation bar and the Browse page) lets you find listings by game name.
HAS Search
Find traders who have a specific game listed:
- Type any game name into the search bar
- Results show all active listings containing that game
- Sold-out copies are automatically excluded — you only see listings with actual stock available
Click any result to go straight to the listing and place an offer.
WANT Search
Find traders who want a game you have:
- Switch to the WANT tab in the search
- Results show traders actively looking for that game
- Go directly to their listing and offer what they want
This is the fastest way to find a direct swap — you have what they want, they have what you want.
Search Tips
- Use partial names — searching "resident" will match Resident Evil 2, 3, 4, Village, etc.
- Results are real-time — sold-out listings and closed trades are automatically filtered out
- Autocomplete suggestions appear as you type based on what is currently listed
Tool 2 — The Wishlist Matcher
The Wishlist Matcher is TRADANYA's most powerful discovery feature. It connects your Steam wishlist directly to active traders on the platform.
How to Set It Up
Step 1 — Make your wishlist public on Steam:
- Open Steam → click your name → Privacy Settings
- Find Game details → set Wishlist to Public
Step 2 — Sync your wishlist on TRADANYA:
- Go to your Dashboard
- Click Sync + Wishlist in the sidebar
- TRADANYA imports your full Steam wishlist automatically
The sync runs once per hour for standard accounts. Admins can sync at any time.
What the Wishlist Matcher Shows
After syncing, go to My Wishlist from the navigation. You will see:
- Every game on your Steam wishlist
- Directly alongside each game: which active TRADANYA traders currently have it listed
- Direct Offer buttons — click Offer next to any result to go straight to that listing
No searching. No scrolling. The platform finds the trades for you.
Why This Is Powerful
Imagine you have 40 games on your Steam wishlist. Instead of searching for each one manually, the Wishlist Matcher checks all 40 at once and surfaces every available listing immediately. Traders who have your wishlist games are shown the moment they post.
Tool 3 — Steam Lookup
Steam Lookup (found in the Discover menu) lets you research any Steam trader before committing to a deal.
How to Search
Enter any of the following into the search box:
- Steam ID64 — the 17-digit number (e.g.
76561198012345678) - Vanity URL — the custom name in their profile URL (e.g.
tradanya_user) - Full profile URL — paste the entire link
No login required. Completely free and public.

Using Lookup Before Every Trade
