Steam keeps hold my funds for selling items!

[Loot Goblin]

I sold 2 cards on a market and Steam keeps hold my funds and I can't use this money. Why is it happened? What can I do to unhold them? It's almost 3 days passed after Steam holds my first funds for a first card, and now I sold a second one, and new funds added to the old ones on a hold position!

[Joke]

You can only wait. The funds will release automatically after a while.

[Loot Goblin]

But why does it happened? I need my funds now on a sale!

It's a new security feature.
If your account was hijacked, and the hijacker were selling your items, you would have some time to recover your account before he could send the money to himself.

Then why are some items sold immediately while others are sold and hold funds?

[Joke]

We don't really know, since Valve never tells anyone about these things.

Some thinks it's triggered when items are sold much below or above the "normal" price on the market.

I just sold cards from a relatively new game that don't sell that often and have a big difference between supply and demand. May it be a reason? And it's 3 days passed already, may I need to write on a Steam support?

Read the email you were given.

Ah... It says: "This item is being sold at an unusual price. The proceeds from its sale will be withheld for some time."

They did the same for me but I still haven't gotten my money over 3 days after the "Pending" Disappeared. Steam support keeps giving me the same copy and pasted response.

usually they get off the pending in 2 days even if it says 1-2 days but its never one, its pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ for cs2 players like me because it sells the skin or case and it goes aurtomatically to pending and if you think youre going to buy a case to open or skin and the price usually goes up and you don't have enouygh to buy it... I really hope steam removes this thing because it's really annoying

It's matter! I wanna buy a new CS2 skin for a good price, but I can't, because my money is held!

Well then you'll just have to buy it when the money is available to you. Or if that's important, use a credit card or something.

C'mon... You're understand what I'm talking about! You need money right now if you want to buy a skin for a cheap price.
