I need help with the game collector badge

[Trafalgar #HOWLGG **********.com]

I'm trying to get this recently made account to level 5, all the ways of doing this are through badges. This is an issue because i cant craft badges without having steam mobile authenticator activated for 15 days and i just set this up today. So this means that i cannot buy steam cards or trade them from other people. The way that i'm trying to level up my steam account is by using the game collector badge but when i bought a game it wouldn't account the game that i bought to my badge progress.

I'm looking for solutions to this issue or suggestions as to other ways that i can progress my steam account for under $10 AUD.

Finish the community badge tasks - the next tier of that is worth an extra 300xp and 500 in total.

Each of those 3 games has an aspect that prevents them from counting for the game collector badge.

Pacifish - Steam is learning about this game
Animals Fight - Profile Features Limited
Brawlhalla - Free 2 Play

You need games that don't fall into any of these three categories.

App needs to be active for 7 FULL days. Trying to use it before 7 days = 15 day holds. Done like that to prevent hijackers adding new apps to their devices and immediately trading/selling stuff.

Authenticator is NOT required to buy things on the market. Only to sell and trade.

If the game you bought is still in the learning phase it can have certain functions disabled. Will be noted on it's store page. to the right where you'd see controller support, cards, achievements and stuff

EDIT: As you have a new account,
<memberSince>July 12</memberSince>,
the market restriction is likely the you must have a purchase between 7 days and 365 days. You'd need to have purchased something on the store and wait 7 days. as the account was created July 12 you'd need to wait till July 19. Unless you know the exact time it'd be easier to just wait until 20th

You can craft badges without the mobile authenticator, just fine. You can even trade for/buy cards without the mobile authenticator! My second account doesn't use the mobile authenticator and yet I'm trading goods between it and this one.

With that out of the way, have you considered waiting? Assuming you are having a cool down right now as you claim, have you considered waiting out that cool down and proceeding with trading for/buying cards when the cool down is over?

With this, its required to have the mobile authenticator app activated. for 2 examples. Trading and buying something off the community market.

That's alternative facts. You can trade/use the market with Steam guard over email as well. I literally trade stuff between this account (SGMA) and my other one (email) while confirming trades from that other account via email.

I've already tried checking the steam market and i promise you its keeping me on a hold over purchasing items. And as far as waiting goes, i will probably have to. I'm just trying to avoid it that's all.

Yes, I do believe you to be on hold. I suggest you take the time off to thoroughly read the reason the market provides, including following the link to the deeper information article. That will make sure you won't run into the hold in future.

If you have the time you mind finding a few games for me to purchase that fall under steams minimum purchase requirement while still counting towards the badge? I need 10 but even 1 is fine.

Sometimes you have to do the work yourself. I gave you the reasons why the 3 you currently have are not qualifying. You can find the top two reasons in the game's features section: https://imgur.com/a/Fi70I2x

And non-F2P games should be obvious.

The store is yours to explore.
