Can I buy avatar frames using community market?
Earning steam points is really expensive and boring.....But is there any avatar frame or mini background picture in the community market?

No. They're only available at the Points Shop

No they are only purchases using your points. Have a look in your points store >edit profile>its at the bottom. You may already have a few thousand, points you have are easy to see top right corner. When they first started we back dated points from game we bought and any Steam events we participated in.

You can also spend 50 dollars on a game you want to buy because you want to play it and take the points as a bonus on the side.

You can also contribute to the community creating content (screenshots, artworks, guides, etc.) or posting useful comments, so people can award those.

Do not buy a game just to earn points to get virtual cosmetics. There is nothing in the Points Shop that you *need*.

I think you have a few things confused or you're not looking at this the right way.

First off, as others have said when you get notified you got an award, for security reasons, you won't actually recieve the proceeds until 14 days hence.

But NEVER EVER look at the points shop and the stuff therein as PRIME concerns. If you have something you like you want to buy, WAIT. It ain't going anywhere.

I mean, you're on Steam. They sell games. Just wait for a sale (all my thousand or so games on here were bought on sale, every one except the charity bundle stuff). Then you get games and then accrue your points.

Patience is more than a virtue.

Actually, not all animated items are only in the points shop, if you go on my profile, i have a animated galaxy profile background, and i got it on the community market.
Oh, I guess OP should have caught on by now, don’t you think?

Yes, some backgrounds are available on the Market as well but not avatar frames.
