Important - Can't Add Friends or Trade With Others?
What should I do if I can't add friends?

If you can't add other users as friends on Steam, this likely means you are on a "Limited" Steam account.

:correctamundo: To remove the limitations from the account, you will need to do one of the following:

  • Add the equivalent of $5 USD or more to your Steam Wallet
  • Purchase a game(or multiple games) that are equal to $5 USD or more from the Steam store
  • Add a Steam Wallet card that is equal to $5 USD or more to your Steam account
  • Purchase a Steam gift that is equal to $5 USD or more from the Steam store (Receiving a Steam gift from a friend doesn't count)

:Light1: If your account is currently "Limited" you can view your status on the Support site here.
An example is shown below:

You can read more about Limited Steam accounts here:
» Steam Support - Limited User Accounts


What should I do if I can't trade with others?

There are multiple reasons why an account would be prevented from trading, such as recently resetting your password or disabling Steam Guard.

:correctamundo: Please read the following Steam Support article in full to determine why your account may be prevented from trading:
» Steam Support - Trading and Market Restrictions


:Warning: It's important to remember that no-one on the forums can remove these restrictions for you. You must do what is mentioned in the Steam Support articles to remove any restrictions on your account.

Thank you.
