When I try to "buy remaining cards on market"

[Naota]

I get this:
Sorry!
An error was encountered while processing your request:

There was a problem communicating with the Steam servers. Please try again later.

Anyone know why this is happening?

This is normal and something that has happened for months, if not years by now. As much as I like Steam and Valve, they do a terrible job at making sure these pages actually load seamlessly.

You just have to keep refreshing until it finally loads the page. The next error message you'll receive after buying cards is "you've had too many actions on your account, please try again later" or whatever it says. You also just have to keep refreshing until that message disappears.

Are Valve/Steam sleeping on the job? Surprised they have deliberately ignored this ongoing issue regarding not being able to buy Steam trading cards.

Interesting, I used "buy remaining cards on market" with no issue. How fast is your internet?

Buy the cards one at a time. It has been almost a year since I was able to successfully buy a group of cards to complete the set.

Has been hit and miss even for the single cards for sometime but simply trying again and again for win.. not an internet issue as a common fault reported and i have 2x internet connections with 8gbps speed to try from and happens on app through 5g mobile internet too..

Thanks .
Reloading a few times and then trying again eventually works, but man . . . I didn't know it had gotten like this.
It didn't used to be.
