Stream purchase/Market is garbage

[Quixxer]

This stream store is the MOST annoying thing ive ever dealt with.. My account gets blocked every time i try to add funds for 3 fkn days. Im done dealing with this ♥♥♥♥ service. You want to be that damn annoying then dont expect people to spend money. And fix your ♥♥♥♥. every time i try adding my credit card it says my address is to long.... Thats my fkn address so too fkn bad. Also even if i make it only 3 numbers long it still says my address is too long. And your so called "support" is useless.... Why even have them if they just say they cant help. Anyways, im never buying anything from this crappy steam again.

Have you added your phone number too? That has fixed the issue for some people from what I've seen.

If you took half a minute to do a search you'd discover that right now Steam's systems for *exactly that process* seems to be broken. "address too long" = like 18 different threads in 2 days. It's a problem on their end. Be patient.

This is the only thing I can see in your title post concerning the part about "market" that you also have in your title. This is a user forum, by the way. So it's not our fault you have these issues. This is where we try to help each other, so venting towards those that work at Valve is surely just a waste of your time here, honestly.

That is a restriction concerning the payment method, if I am understanding you correctly.

Newly Added Payment Method

Items that are purchased with trusted payment methods may or may not have a cooldown before they can be traded or used in the Community Market. This cooldown period varies and is game dependent. A payment method that has been verified using Steam's card ownership verification tool is considered trusted. Verify your credit card here and gain access to the Community Market. Verification amounts are sent to your bank in the currency that appears in your Steam store. If your bank converts the charges into your local currency, please contact them for the pre-converted amounts.

Unverified payment methods will be subject to a 3 day waiting period before purchases can be made on the Community Market.

EDIT...

Also, apparently some seem to have said it gets fixed by adding your phone number :

So searching before posting, if that does help by adding the phone number, really can provide the right answers sometimes.

I think the point here, is the User has tried to use different parts of the STEAM Store,
Market Place, STEAM Store, STEAM Wallet, & such other things...

& in each case, it seems they were met with a Road Block, it is not about them getting
a fix for it, it is about the Annoyance they have to go through...

None of this was a problem before, & it's getting worst...


If I join a Platform, & can't buy anything, add funds at all, what is the point of
me staying on the Platform?

If there very first thing you do on a New Platform is to have to look for Help
over a matter that shouldn't be there from the Start... I can't see why i'd stick around...



Here is the thing... Why would anyone wanna deal with all this Annoying Stress,
as a New User? Their a New User, they should feel welcomed to the Platform,
not Annoyed, & pushed away...

Sure, it's an easy fix, put in Phone Number, ok, ok, but that does not really
change the fact that the User was not happy with their time spent...

STEAM is just one Annoyance after another, Problem after Problem, it has like over
100 Restrictions in place, & a lot of these aren't even for the Limited Users, they
are for everyone... & that is way too many Restrictions, the Platform isn't even
Enjoyable to use anymore...

With problems like this, no New People are even going to join, & if they do,
they will likely leave shortly after...

Maybe you should learn to read then. That isnt the only problem as i said. I cant even put in my address in the shop when adding a card without it telling me its to long. Even when i put only my street number which is only 3 numbers long.

And as I said: this is clearly a known issue if you'd done a search you'd know that too.
