Market Ban for adding money with a new paypal?

[Broodje Camel Blue]

I added funds with my paypal (instead of using my bank, wich i normally do) and now i'm market banned? I'm honestly getting annoyed by Valve's overprotective ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The 7 day wait on bought/unboxed items in csgo is bad enough, and getting market banned for adding funds is outrageous...

the restriction for funding the wallet with a new payment method exist since years. this is nothing new.

I never said it was new. I said that Valve's security measures are way to overexaggerated.

I agree plus I just got another 7 days restriction for changing my phone number in steam mobile

It's to protect you in case your account is compromised and also to protect anyone whose financial accounts are compromised.

you used a new payment method, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?... seriously, if someone got a hold of your account first thing they'd do is set-up a new payment method, this is to allow time for you to retrieve your account.

So everytime i get a new house or car, i don't enter/leave it for a week? Safety measures are good, but this is too much

when you buy a new car/house you sign physical contracts, sign financial planning agreements and much more. you simply do not just put down your credit card number and you are done. the seller always can hunt you down and sue the crap out of you and your relatives if you cannot pay or you payment infos were fake.

also, better comparsion, real stock markets, if you are a new registered broker, you are limited to do certain quantities until a trial period is over. even if you do not reach those limits, if you do too much, you instantly have their invenstigation squad on you and most likely you are temporary not permitted to do any transactions. on steam this is like a pre-emptive measurement until your funds are partly verified. 7 days is already luxury, i personally would do 30 days.

simply verify your payment method with steam, then you don't have a market restriction everytime you fill up your wallet. if you dont use a method that is verifyable, then get one. cc/paypal.

Steam has no way to absolutely verify that the funds you added were not fraudulently purchased. Which is why the cooldown exists. CComparing it to buying a new home or car isn't even close, given that you must give REAMS of personal information for he financial team to vet your finances and your identity so you can be hunted down if you default on a payment.

For now i've only seen the same and the same comments on this. "fraudulent funds", how can they even check if its not fraudulent.

There are a lot of reasons the new security is bad but this isn't one of them.

THe cooldown exists so that the original card holder or the card issuer can detect the fraud and reverse it. Generally speaking by the time the 7 day cooldown expires, any bank or card holder would have contested the charges

I never meant this one specifically, the threa just turned out that way. I just wanted to say that i think Steam is being a overprotective mother sometimes
