E-card verification

[Mimir]

My bank has this nifty new feature that lets me create a virtual credit card that I can charge with a sum of money to use for online purchases, for instance steam. Now I can't use the money I charged since the card needs to be verified. I understand that steam needs to take some measures to ensure that I'm not using other people's cards and such, so I'm just wondering if I have to do something to verify the card - which would have to be repeated for each purchase, since I create a new e-card for each transaction - or if I just have to wait a bit.

I suggest you talk to your bank. Surely they would have given you a brochure outlining how to use it?

You can't verify e-cards on steam (I have the same issue). You have to wait 5 days to use the money from your wallet on the market.

I advise to charge your wallet once, and not using it to buy games. You can use e-card on the store without using steam wallet.

Thanks Somberlord, that answers all of my questions.
