Items w/ marketplace lock won't convert into gems / unable to access gem bags

[Darkhosis]

Instead of turning into gems w/ a 9/23 sale date, they instead stay as regular items, w/ the 9/23 date.

Purpose of this change... is?

Not too keen on loading hundreds of pages of inventory unless there's some compelling reason for this?

Same issue here. I hope it's just a bug?

[Darkhosis]

well, it's getting worse for me

i'm unable to open/access 710 bags of gems now

i've tried IE, firefox, chrome, opera, and the steam client (also tried resetting steam obviously)

(nm, like 18 pages of junk items, not ~30. listed a bunch of crap (older) cards)

Yup, notably the issue has gone worse than before.

It was only bugging on the client side for a month; and since earlier today (or possibly yesterday) the issue seems to be happening outside the client too.

It doesn't affect packing gems amazingly enough; only unpacking and the actual conversion process.

I guess your items did not yet pass the tradeable/marketable date? I checked whether this is a global problem, but I was able to convert a tradeable/marketable item into gems, whereas none of the non-tradeable/marketable was convertible. Seems like Steam changed the properties of items... which quite sucks.

I changed inventory to public, the gem bags in question are tradeable:

I see... possibly only newer items (with a short life time) are affected by it? I tested with an old, single item. I still hope it's just a bug and not a change in the gem system.

Yup, my Trine 3 card converted fine too.

EDIT: As well as a 6 day old card from Saints Row: Gat out of Hell; meaning since OP's cards are tradable, they have to be more than 7 days old or card drops.

Simply put, bought cards; or items as drops less than 6 days ago. Otherwise the connection is likely elsewhere.

Bought a new card, could craft it. It became a non-tradable gem pile.

The same one as what OP had.

i was able to manipulate those bags of gems fine until about 5 or 6 hrs ago, when I combined them with the 'new' ones that became available on the 17th.. i guess that may have impacted it..

I *think* I can still list them on market, but don't want to... can also trade them... just not unpack

Well, gem bags cannot be opened. That's a clear bug right now.

I was more so wondering about the card conversion stuff.

I see, I can convert backgrounds into gems, trading cards into gems; Market restricted trading cards into gems; HOWEVER I cannot convert Market restricted backgrounds into gems.

EDIT: Same applies to Market restricted emoticons; those that aren't restricted work fine.

EDIT 2: Interesting, some cards don't work after all.
I can't convert my TF2 Engineer card, while I could convert the Surgeon Fish card.
