Market Listing Confirmation - 15 Days hold again?

[chiru]

I have a lot of cards to sell and it bothers me a lot not knowing what is happening or why it's doing this again when I try to sell them. I clarify that I already went through that when I wanted to start selling on the market, and they told me that the solution was to spend a certain amount of money on Steam which I did a long time ago and it worked perfectly until today, I even spent much more than necessary over time.

I also have the Steam Guard activated since 2020 and I was just selling a lot of cards buying junk games, collecting their cards and selling them and it was working perfectly fine until now, that started again this listing confirmation, wich when confirm from the mail they have a 15 days hold, wich doesn't have any sense, I want to sell them now or in this days.

I would like to have an answer and a solution for it because it's bothering me a lot, I don't have time to spend every two hours putting a card on sale until I finish the 100 or more that I have left, I just want to put all the cards for sale in a row as I had been doing until few days ago.

Either enable the mobile authenticator for 7 days to have no holds on Market listings or wait out the cooldown using email confirmations.

It can be as low as 5 and as high as over 130. I had 128 cases that listed right away when I was building my wallet to purchase Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

It varies from account to account and if using a script to go faster, you'll hit the reconfirmation quicker.

The cooldown is 24 hours and you can list right away again. I have hit the limit a few times. So, I just waited and relisted, hit the cooldown and waited, relisted again.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know about it. However, I see that it says that confirmation is not required for items less than 1 USD, and the most valuable item that I am selling does not even reach 0.1 USD so clearly it's a problem with my account. I mention again that a while ago I had the same problem and they told me that the solution was to spend a certain amount on Steam purchases and I would no longer have problems and that's how it was, so I had been selling hundreds of cards at those values without any problem until a week ago.

I really want to have an answer on this, why could I sell and list almost 1000 trading cards during December and suddenly I can't even put on listing 2 cards for day??

As I mentioned before I fulfill all the requirements to do it and still I can't since January 1.

Please help me with this, all this demotivates me even more to use this platform but I want to belive that it's not over yet and this has been inadvertently ignored.

We don't know all the details of your account, or what you might have hit exactly. If you believe nothing applies on the list, you're free to contact Steam support.

Thanks for your answer. I read carefully all the list of trading and market restrictions and clearly I didn't hit none of them, and I can't find where to contact Steam support for this isue, that's why I'm complaining since two weeks here.

I could confirm that I don't hit each of those terms but I don't want to botter anyone here unless someone from the Steam support answer me. If you know how to contact them for this, I'll be glad to be guided. Thanks again.

There is a invisible limit to the number of items you can sell without the 15 day hold/confirmation.
I dont know how much its exactly but its somewhere in the vicinity between 50 and 100 items.
After you reach that limit all future sales will require a 15 day hold and a sale confirmation via email unless you use the mobile app.
That limitation lasts about a week or two, then you can sell 50-100 items again without confirmation or holds ( if the are all below the 1 dollar worth limit).

All of that from my own experience.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.

I just have a question about it: after you reached the limit did you try to list each day and then after two weeks the limitation disappear or did you just wait two weeks and then you try again until reach the limit once again?

Anyway, if this is true I can only think that this is dishonest from Steam staff, they shoud say something in the rules about it.

I just waited a week or two and tried again.
Was my second account , on my main i have the mobile app for years so it was not that important to me.
So no clue how long that cooldown really is.

That's not specified on any Steam help page, but for some users experiences it seems to be so. In my opinion and if this is true, it's dishonest from Steam towards its users and at least should be clarified.

done this yet?
because just doing market and trades on your mobile devices is not sufficient. no holds requires the mobile authenticator being active for at least 7 days. and please just use your authenticator device for the confirmations. doing everything on mobile is just asking for mistakes.
