Problem with the 3 day market restriction - credit card
So my issue is i cant verify my card for multiple reasons. I have been using the same credit card for months yet whenever i add anything above 10-15 euros i get a 3 day market ban. I get it, thats how steam works so whatever. what i want to know is this. I am currently restricted from the market for 2 days and i want to buy some stuff that require me putting in approximatelly 30 euros, If i add them while the restriction is still ongoing will it further my market ban by 3 more days or is it not like that?

Let Steam remember the card. That way, you won't get that temporary ban anymore.

That's interesting. What exactly does the text on the market say?

You've recently funded your Steam Wallet using an unverified credit card that has had a recent increase in use. You can attempt to verify the funds now or wait until the restriction is automatically removed.
my issue is not the fact that even though i ve been using the same cc for months now it keeps happening. what i would love to know is if i can put more money in while i am restricted so i am able to buy the things i want as soon as its lifted. I am a bit scared to put more money in know cause i am afraid it will extend my restriction time.

Key phrase, "that has had a recent increase in use."

When that happens, you have to verify it again.

Then, when you get that message again, no. You will have to wait 3 days to use the funds that weren't verified.

Or just purchase wallet cards and never deal with verification again.
