In this article we have collected answers to all technical questions that may arise during: account preparation, verification and day-to-day trading
For your comfort, the article has navigation to the question you are interested in:
First we need to create/prepare your Buff163 account
Creating a Buff163 account
To create and register a Buff163 account, follow the algorithm below:
1. Go to Buff163 website through your browser and log in with your phone number. (this is how you will register it in the system)
This must be done through the site itself, as it has now been removed from the Appstore and PlayMarket.
3. Log in with your phone number via the app
4. Link your steam account (Buff will not allow you to verify your account without linking your steam account)

What to do if KYC is passed
Many experienced traders have passed KYC (identity verification), which makes the Chinese guy unable to verify the account. In such a situation, you will need to unlink KYC through technical support
To unlink KYC you will need the following data:
- Last 6 digits of the document on which you have been KYC'd;
- Photo of the document;
- Full name of the corresponding document;
- Phone number tied to the account;
- * Sometimes your steam account details are required.
Ready to contact technical support:
Hello, please unlink my KYC from this Buff163 account. 1. My real name: Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich; 2. The last 6 digits of the document: 123456; 3. I've also attached a photo of the document; 4. My phone number: +7 777 777-77-77-77 (phone number from the account); 5. My steam ID: 76561199040872849. So once again, I'm asking you to unlink my KYC.
π When sending a request, please remember that technical support does not work around the clock and they do not respond after 17:00 Chinese time (+3 hours from GMT time)
Most often you will get a response from 6:00 to 8:00 GMT and to get support to respond to your request, you should send it either in the evening or early in the morning.

How to unlink Steam account
An important difference between Buff163 and other sites is that you can change one steam account to another without changing your Buff163 account (balance and verification remain with you in any case)
π§ If you need to unlink steam, follow the following algorithm:
1. exclude all items from sale (without Listing Limit++ you can exclude up to 50 items at a time);
Tab "Me" β βAccount Settingsβ
βSettingsβ β βAccount & Securityβ
βAccount & Securityβ β βSteam Managementβ
βSteam Managementβ β βChangeβ
3. Login to your steam, after your phone number will receive a code to confirm the action (Because of the crooked translation, you will be asked to replace your steam on another, you do not need to do this);
4. Done! You've got steam off!
Many people don't get the code to confirm steam unbinding, regardless of the country number. For this reason I've attached a ready-made ticket for tech support below:
Hello, please unlink my steam account from this buff163 account. 1. I have tried doing it manually, but I'm not successful as I don't get a confirmation code on my phone number; 2. I have tried rebooting my phone, enabling airplane mode, and also 24 hours before my last attempt I have not attempted to log into my account using my phone number, but the code does not arrive; 3. my phone number: +7 777 777-77-77-77 (phone number linked to my account). 4. This item depends on whether you have KYC or not: a) I don't have KYC (if not passed, you must indicate it); b) I have KYC (if passed, you should write the last 6 digits of the document and full name); 5. My steam ID: 76561199040872849. So once again, I'm asking you to unlink my Steam account.
You may be told to play with the flight mode, try inserting the SIM into another phone (this will not help in any case)
βοΈ Deleting Buff163 account will not help, you need to unlink the steam/number as the system will still consider the number or steam to be linked, so you won't be able to use them on another account βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
What to do if you lose number from account
The site account is linked to the phone number, which is why it is not easy to unlink it. If you lose or change the number, you need to ask to transfer the account to another phone number (this can even be done from another buff account). To do this, you will need:
β Your originally linked phone number;
β‘ Your originally linked Steam ID, a unique 17-digit number and a screenshot of the steam guard and steam profile, where it is clear that the account belongs to you;
β’ Your verified real name and the last 6 digits of your ID.
Prepared ticket for tech support:
Hello, please transfer my account buff163 to another my phone number +7 777 777-77-77, because I lost access to it. 1. My phone number: +7 888 888-88-88 (phone number linked to the account); 2. This point depends on whether you have passed KYC: a) I don't have KYC (if you haven't passed it, you must indicate this); b) I have KYC (if you have passed it, you write the last 6 digits of the document and your full name); 3. My steam ID: 76561199040872849. So once again, I'm asking you to transfer my buff account. You will also need to attach two screenshots.

What to do if code for login does not come
At the moment, codes are sent to numbers in all countries, but the code is not sent to some mobile operators, below I have attached variations of the code coming:
β’ To numbers: Belarus, Ukraine, Slovakia, Moldova, Canada, Great Britain... β the code to log into the account does not always come
β’ To numbers: Russia, Kazakhstan, Israel, Czech Republic, Austria, Spain... β the code comes consistently
To check whether the code comes or not, you just need to request it. Usually the code is sent to WhatsApp, Telegram, they can call and dictate or send an SMS.
π± There is no problem to bind to the account phone number to which the code comes, to do this you will need to replace the phone number with a suitable one, if you do not have such an opportunity, I will give you the number for free βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
What to do after verification
Once verified, you will be required to take a few simple steps to keep your account as secure as possible:
Exclude Chinese from your devices
Go to "Settings" β βAccount & Securityβ
βAccount & Securityβ β βManage Devicesβ
βDevice Managementβ β exclude the Chinese (Sometimes they come out by themselves)
And at the end write a satisfied review under the verification post:) βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Test for Buff163

How to use from a browser
When you log in through your browser by phone number or via steam, the system will ask for a session confirmation code, but this code rarely comes or comes, but after a long time spamming you with calls
You need to go to the Buff163 website and click βLogin/Registerβ
Go to your profile in the application and click on the βQR codeβ icon
Scan the QR code in the browser via the app
