It's a newer ongoing issue with the Market. The servers have been acting up for at least a week and got worse after Season 1 in CS2 ended and Season 2 began.
There are also issues listing items for sale where it can take days for them to show up on the Market
Their reply was:
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive item servers are under heavy load, which may affect the following:
Viewing Inventories on the web.
Buying, listing, or viewing items on the Community Market.
Trading items.
If you have recently listed an item on the Community Market and it is not visible in your Active Listings, please remain patient; this will resolve itself once the servers catch up. Unfortunately, we have no way of resolving item delays at Steam Support and we can only recommend you wait and try again later.
We appreciate your patience while this is looked into, but because we have no way of solving this, I am closing this ticket. If you have an unrelated issue, feel free to open a new help request.
I believe it is almost the same situation, we can only wait......
This is just how servers are. They can be problematic and sometimes difficult to track down issues. And furthermore, you do understand that servers around the world aren't exactly at Valve;s fingertips?
And it's not false news. It's absolutel how things work.
You don't get to say it's false without counter evidence and not liking something.
The fact is it works for some and not for others because again, THAT'S HOW SERVERS WORK. They simply aren't going to stop ALL sales because of these hiccups. That's not how business works anywhere.
Again that's not how servers work.
The fact is you are demonstrably wrong. They can't fix it instantly because magic doesn't exist. Servers are all around the world and they are rented, so they have to find out where it's happening, then contact the people they rent it off who may have to do their own checks to find out where to get to test the relevant servers and so on.
You don't get to make ♥♥♥♥ up when you can't understnad how it works.
No I don't defend bac practice, but there's no evidence that remotely applies here.
Ex i bought fammas commemoration 1 week ago at 11€ now ir isabou 100€ on market couse u cant put other listings.. and ppl think thats the pricce.. ppl are making videos on youtube about the false growth of prices and others will trade/ open cases for items to sell couse of this prices .. thats a scam and it can be ez stoped with a simple message abouve market explaining the delay or undisplay at all.
I undestand how sv work.. i work in same domain .. its not about fixing the issue .. its about making it visible
They don't need to because that's not how it works here.
You come to THESE forums to find out what's going on - that's how it's always worked. And you'll quickly found out there's a problem.
If they put a message up, people tend to be a bit stupid and end up messing things up. So you tend to find people will think THE WHOLE market is unusuable. And then when it's fixed, they continue to do so.
That affects busines, so again that's another reason why they don't.
And again because of how servers work you're making the incorrect assumption that things are instant. They knew where the problem is, what it is and could put that message up. But if they're wrong or the information is off it does MORE damage.
They likely did this - got notifications something wasn't working, and tried to investigate where the problem is. They likely eventually found out the region(s) affected and worked out it was nothing their end. So they then ring whichever parterners they rent these servers from and tell them what's going on. Then they do their bit about tracking it down fixing and so on.
So at that point they don't really know how long it's going to be or maybe it was intended to be a quick fix but something came up.
In which case, the message wasn't required for a number of reasons, and again how it works is you COME HERE where you'd learn about it.
