Steam Wallet Activation
Hello Steam how You Doing?


i've a question,

When i try to sell an item on market, and i press the button "SELL" it says to me " YOU MUST HAVE AN PURCHASE IN STEAM FOR ATLEAST 30 DAYS" if i activate a 5$ steam wallet in my account, will this work?
i'll be able to buy things again on market? or it will ask me more verifications and things?

As far as I know, you actually have to buy something. You could load $5 and then buy a cheap game, you can usually get them for under $1. You'll have to wait 30 days from the time you purchase it though. Also, you need SteamGuard enabled.

I just looked it up, purchasing wallet funds meets the requirement. However, you will still have to wait 30 days to use the market.

How can I gain access to all Steam features?

To access all features of Steam, simply do any of the following on your Steam account: purchase a game from the Steam store (It cannot be a gift for another account), redeem a Steam gift, or complete a microtransaction.

It's not listed there, are you sure?

Yes, he's sure. Look up the Market Restrictions article.

Purchase Limitations

Your account must have a successful purchase older than thirty days, but not older than a year in order to access the Marketplace. The purchase of wallet funds, games, DLCs and software meet this requirement. Retail CD key activations and gift purchases do not satisfy this requirement.

so i just have to buy an 5$ steam wallet code, and activate it, and wait some, and then everythings fine?

i meant that it will not take the verification of visa cards r soemthing else?

Buy the funds, wait 30 days. Then you can use the Market for the next 11 months. (assuming you don't buy anything else from Steam)
