A short time ago tonight, PUBG Corp. announced that they have turned off personal item trades for all PUBG items. This also seems to include being able to buy and sell PUBG items through the Steam Marketplace.Here is their explanation:
Some context: Normally, players can trade items using either the "Market trade" or "Personal trade" features. "Market trade" lets you sell items through the Steam market system. "Personal trade’" is supposed to allow friends to trade items without any costs attached.
Recently, though, we’ve seen a few cases of players using the personal trade function to sell items using third party sites. This is essentially an abuse of the system. To prevent this, we're temporarily turning off personal trades while we search for a better solution. Once we figure out a way to prevent abuse, the restriction will be lifted.

To their credit, PUBG Corp. is addressing an issue that has long since gone ignored by Valve and their games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, DOTA 2, and more. Of course, to the players and those that use the systems, legitimate or otherwise, this move may as well be the end of the world.
