Unlocking market

[Pixelator Prime]

Hello. I'd like to have my market unlocked but I have a question...I mind adding 10 euros to my steam wallet via Paysafecard (because I don't have a card) and I wonder, does adding funds to steam wallet via this method (with the 16 numbers code) is considered purchase or I'll pay 10 euros and remain with the market unlocked?

If you add funds to your Steam Wallet with Paysafe Card, it should trigger the 30 day countdown.

The 30 day countdown means that you will have to wait exactly 30 days, or 720 hours - to unlock the Steam Market. There is no way around that.

In order to use Steam Market, your transaction has to have been made more than 30 days, less than 365 days ago. To use Steam Market without any interruptions, you will have to make a new transaction every 335 days.

I know the conditions of using the market but the thing I'm not sure about is if adding funds via Paysafe is considered purchase. Thanks for the fast and really useful answer :)

It should be considered a purchase, as it's a transaction; adding funds via Steam Wallet card on the flipside - is not. (For an example.)

Here is a list of restrictions and their triggers so you can avoid waits in the future:

Remember all times are in Valve's local time (US Pacific) and dates are presented in mm/dd/yyyy

If you're talking about restrictions, they're presented in the user's local time when they hover the cursor on top of the Sell -button.

It's not some "midnight release" -thing, it's the exact time they did a transaction that they get the Market unlocked 30 days later.

Are you positive? There are several posts a week on here saying I still cannot trade or use the market and it's past the time on the sell button and the problem is always resolved once it reaches that time for Valve.

I'm positive. It's exactly 720 hours.

It's unlocked the same hour, same minute and the same second they've done the transaction 30 days earlier.

People just think they'll be able to use Market from their timezone's midnight.

i.e. If I did my first transaction after 365 days at 21:00 (GMT+2), and 10 AM PDT is 20:00 for me (GMT-8 and mine's +2) / or -7 and +3 with 'Daylight Saving Time'.

I'd still get the Market unlocked at 21:00, not at 20:00.

You're right I was thinking of something else.
