My market and cd key registration is locked until further notice. Could this be caused by using a different credit card on my account?

No. Have you submitted fake SSN information to bypass the Community Market's 200-sales limit? There has recently been a bunch of suspensions for this. You can also check this out for a list of other possibilities: Steam Support > Suspended Steam Account

You'll need to contact Steam Support for a definite answer. You can contact Steam Support here. You will need to create a separate Steam Support account in order to submit a ticket.

I submitted a ticket yes and I did use a fake ssn because I didn't have a copy of my ssn at the time.

Then that's why you were suspended. You'll have to wait for Steam Support to respond for instructions on regaining full access to your account (if that's even an option - tax fraud is quite serious).

Tax fraud? I haven't made any money off Steam?

Submitting a false social security number or other tax info would probably be considered as fraud.

Is there a limit on the number of transactions I can participate in in the Community Market?

Currently there is no limit on the number of transactions you can participate in. However, the United States Internal Revenue Service, under Section 6050W of the Internal Revenue Code, requires us to collect certain information from you if you engage in more than 200 separate sales transactions in a calendar year. In particular, if you are a U.S. citizen or resident, you will need to provide us with your name, address and Social Security Number, and if you are not a U.S. citizen or resident, you will need to provide evidence of your non-U.S. status on an online form we provide to you. We will be providing a link to these forms and a process by which you can provide the needed information if and as you approach the 200 sales limit. We may use a third-party to collect this information. You can choose not to provide this information if you wish, but you will not be able to list any items for sale in the Community Market once you meet the 200 sales threshold, and any items listed will be removed. Note that, while we are required to collect this information from you, we are not required to share this information with the IRS under Section 6050W unless you exceed $20,000 in gross sales in the Community Market within a single calendar year. For purposes of calculating the number of sales you have made in a calendar year, all of your accounts will be treated as a single account.

You filled out fake tax information.

[Roy Rogers McFreely]

So would that result in perminant account restrictions or could I enter my real ssn and get it lifted?

You need to contact Steam Support with that question.

It's hard to believe that someone could forget their SSN.

Steam account and credit card fraud?

So my account was temporarily locked for "credit card fraud" even though the only credit cards used on my account were my paren't and cousin's as far as I know. Is there anyway to check the credit cards used on my account so I can see if any other credit cards have been used?

[Satoru]

Only support can assist you with that. No one here knows waht you, or your account did.

First its your 'fake' SSN now its cc fraud? You seem to be either incredibly unlucky or you're not being totally up front with your intentions

[Roy Rogers McFreely]

Neither do I but it seems the community is faster at replying to problems than Steam Support. It took them two+ weeks to respond to my original question and now I have to wait two weeks again.
