What happens when you sell something on the market over 400$?

[slippin jimmy]

I saw some offers for an item that went to 500$ for 1 item, what happens if you get to sell one? I mean is it possible? Also there's a 500$ wallet restriction right? How does that work, thanks.

Currently we are restricting Steam Wallet balances to $500. We also limit the maximum price of a single listing on the market to $400. You will be restricted from listing items for sale in the Community Market if the existing balance in your Steam Wallet, plus the sale price of the item(s), would together exceed the $500 limit.

Yeah but there are currently 0 items on sell right now, and the first BUY offer that comes up is 500$, what happens in that case?

May I ask what in the world on Steam costs $400-$500?

Thank you.

My faith in humanity suffered a severe blow just now.

I remember I used to play an MMO which had an auction house, and people would price rare items far beyond what they were worth, just so they could show off owning them. I suspect at least some of the most expensive items are people doing the same.

Note the $400 limit is the USD limit. Other regions have different limits based on their currency.

As teh price of the USD fluctuates you can have variances where an order placed previously could exceed the theoretical $400 USD limit.

I know this is a really old post but to awnser your question. You can also use other forms of payment, like paypal. And i beleave that there is no limit as to how much you can spend with that.

Buying stuff outside the market, through things like paypal, is unsupported by Valve and a good way to get ripped off. Also, don't revive ancient threads with outdated numbers/information.

What kind of Steam Wallet and item listing restrictions apply?
Currently we are restricting Steam Wallet balances to $2000. In other currencies, the limit will be set to a value close to $2000. We also limit the maximum price of a single listing on the market to $1800 (or similar for other currencies). You will be restricted from listing items for sale in the Community Market if the existing balance in your Steam Wallet, plus the sale price of the item(s), would together exceed the $2000 limit. We may be adjusting the Steam Wallet balance limit, or otherwise changing this restriction, in the future. Note that, if you have multiple accounts, balances for all Steam Wallets associated with all of your accounts will be aggregated for purposes of applying this limit.
