"You already have an active buy order for this item."

I tried to buy a card but it says "You already have an active buy order for this item.". I don't have any active orders. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I got this message also. I clicked the buy button, but it seemed to error out. so I did the transaction again and I got this message. I think this is simply saying that there is not an item up for sale at this time, howvever, as soon as one becomes available your request to buy it will be processed. If I'm wrong, please someone correct me :) If you are getting the same message for different reasons then I'm afraid I can't help. :(

The only thing that gives me that is Summer Adventure Card 2. Every other item works. I didn't place any orders for that item before. On the bottom it says I don't have any active buy orders. I already bought different card and traded for the one I wanted. I don't know if the order somehow exists and I'll be suprised with a message I bought the card for an unknown price. I sent a ticket to Steam Support.

I have the exact same issue with the summer card 1. I tried to buy it earlier and got 2 errors, and now when I try to get it I'm given "You already have an active buy order for this item". And I have no idea how to do that.
