Any and all animated items can only be purchased from the points shop.
https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/
You can also contribute to the community creating content (screenshots, artworks, guides, etc.) or posting useful comments, so people can award those.
Points are granted 14 days after receiving the award
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.
Yes, some backgrounds are available on the Market as well but not avatar frames.
