Buy keys w/ steam wallet

[Aricandoit]

Is there 7 day suspension if keys are bought via steam wallet money?

[VonPumpkinson]

I think so. It's your money stored digitally.

[MarkRoss]

Yes, whether you buy through any of the means you have 7 day lock on trading

[Specially Educated <3]

Why is their a 7 day trade tho it makes no sense

But the money was in my steam wallet for 2 months now?

I think he's referring to the time lock on when you can trade keys/items unlocked from newly purchased keys. In that case, Markoss410 is correct, you have to wait 7 days before you can trade them, regardless of the means.

But if you're referring to actual trades between players with one side offering Steam money in exchange for keys, then that's a bannable offense as it is real-money trading, against both the RL Code of Conduct and Steam's ToS.

No I literally mean I have steam wallet money that's sitting on my profile for 2 months- why would I wait 7 days for something that's already checked out by steam? I understand buying in other ways cause issues and 7 days is necessary but not for this wtf?

Somebody could still get into your account and use that Steam money that's been sitting there. It's a liability/fraud protection measure for Psyonix.

It has with credit card chargebacks to do. Without the tradehold you can buy stuff with stolen credit cards and trade them to other accounts instantly.

I hate this feature, but it is what it is. The only disadvantage of this feature is item prices. Items are losing their worth until the cooldown expires.

This "somebody" can still get into your account after the 7 day limit expires. The thing is, even if he gets into your account and uses your money, you won't get any refund from Psyonix. In-game purchases are not refundable as far as i know. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The only important reason is CC chargebacks. Otherwise, the 7 day cooldown should be removed like other tradeholds, if you use mobile authenticator.

This seems to be why people buy keys for real money from other people and boom, they can trade. This must change somehow.

But it won't :P

I've learned to live with it, even if it sucks.
