So what is underclear?

You can thank the scammers, the gullible idiots that fell for them and potential lawsuits if nanny Steam doesn't protect them for that.

You'll get the money within a few days if everything is in order. The money is held because the system thinks the item was purchased or sold for fraudulent than legitimate reasons.

This grace period exists to allow Steam support a revert of a potentially illegitimate transaction as cleared transactions cannot be undone.

I understand its for security purposes but if we have authenticator and all the security stuff set up, and something also sells at avg price, those funds should never be held. Otherwise, that defeats the purpose of steam authenticator.

Refunding store purchases and the pending transfer of funds has nothing to do with the Market pending funds for sold items. These are 2 completely different things.

Getting your refund isn't fraudulent...

Steam place hold 24hrs ~ 7 days on wallet funds, normally it's 24hrs.

If refund back to your bank, the ones who holding the money up is your bank because they have to update the statements on your account to show it been return to you, and once the money out of the merchants hands, they can't help you, nor speed up your bank processing, this can range from 2 ~ 45 days depends how long your bank to process returning funds.

When you sell something on the marketplace, Steam has to check the money the other user used to ensure the money isn't from a stolen source.

Learn today, plan better tomorrow.

FYI AC2 sale last until September 30th 2024 you have 8 days, so not like you're missing the sale either way.

This is why you shouldn't rely on the marketplace to fund your games purchases.
