Problem with cards

[Neviria]

Hi, I have really annoying problem. For about 2 days I can't buy cards, I try but everytime steam declined it and tells something about problems on the way (? I really can't explain it better I think) and when I want to try again steam tells me I try too many times without accepting this trades even when I accept them in app on phone. This is so anooying, I just want to buy some cards, have someone saw the same problem and have tips for this maybe? I try to search some help but there's nothing about this (or Im blind) and I can't type ticket cause steam turn me back to help section or to discussion, so here I am

I also haven't been able to buy cards for about a week now. There's a red ! mark, mouse over it and it should tell you what the problem is. Or at least, what steam thinks the problem is.

For me it started with:

1. First failure: You haven't logged in and verified recently (so I logged out and logged back in, using secondary auth to verify again... despite never having had to jump through these hoops before). This went away after logging out, rebooting and logging back in (with secondary auth)


2. Second failure: No response from Steam servers, please try again. Went on for two days, rebooted each day, didn't go away until today. There's nothing wrong with my internet. Run various tests, all games work, etc. Had to be a steam server error.

3. Third failure: You have tried too many purchases without confirmation. Please wait a few minutes and try again. This is currently all I get.

But I hadn't purchased anything since August and now for the last few days it simply won't let me. I approve the confirmations on my phone, but the transactions don't go through. The confirmations don't even tell me what the transactions are (and they used to). So I can only assume the entire confirmation system is currently broken.

Anyway, mouse over the stop ! symbol and you should at least find out what steam thinks is wrong.

I have the same issue now for a few days. It says "Sorry! We had trouble hearing back from the Steam servers about your order. Double check whether or not your order has actually been created or filled. If not, then please try again later." but if I try too many times I get an error saying "too many attempts" or some such and then I'm locked out of trying for a few minutes.. Then I'm back to first error.

I have the same problem with not hearing back from steam servers. It won't let me buy cards. But selling or buying items works fine. I wrote a ticket with screenshots of the error and this is the answer I got:


,,Thank you for writing in about this.

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.''

well....guess we need to wait?

Yeah, my ! says steam have problems with servers and when I try again it says "too many attempts". So waiting is the only option I guess.

If you use the Mobile App, try to place your Orders that way. I've the same Problem, but I always can buy Cards through the Mobile App without any Problems, even if I have to confirm my Purchase.
