Enable Steam Confirmation for listing items under 1$?

[X4NLEJO]

Well recently i installed a malware on my computer and my Steam Inventory was sold on the Community Market with me not knowing.
I'm aware Steam does not restore/give back your items which i accept since it was entirely my fault.

However, even though i have 2 step verification and Steam Guard the exploit this phiser abused was able to LIST around 200 items under $1, making an total amount of 16$ on steam sales.

Luckily i only have 4 expensive items that werent affected somehow.

I rarely list items on the Steam Market, but never in bulk, so i dont mind confirming it on my phone.

Is there any way i can enable Confirmation on my phone forcefully for items that are listen under 1$?

There are confirmations if an item is being listed outside of it's normal value under $1. Your expensive items can't be sold under $1 unless you accept it by Steam's authenticator. Having it required for under $1 is not necessary because all trading cards are around that value and it'd make it very annoying to sell trading cards

Most of the items were between 0.03 and 5$, and i still had no confirmation sent to my phone.

Yes, i do know it may be annoying to sell items and confirm for only one cent, but it's a security problem too just like i stated.

My items were sold for low price with no confirmation and the person who was in control bought an overpriced item they listed on their own account.

I just want to know if theres an option to enable confirmation even if it's 1 cent.

there is no option, last time under $1 items needed confirmations people complained to fix it. it's not a security risk really because all someone can do is sell trading cards under that value. if an item has an average value of $5 then it can't be sold under $1 without confirmation

And why is it not a security issue? There are lots of items under one dollar including CSGO cases. I was recently scammed, same method as the other user, where the attacker sold 100 euro worth of cases from my inventory for 30 euro and bought an overpriced item, transferring the money in their account. I know people who lost hundreds through this method. Hell, there are youtubers who have thousands in CSGO cases and their accounts are just as vulnerable.

Agreed, just got scammed same way. dude wanted to get my expensive items thru a trade. Was impersonating steam fraud agent. and started to sell my items on steam market, for under one euro, these items were like from 2 to 5 euros. and he sold it without any confirmation from my end. Logged out ASAP and changed password... Would love to have an option to have confirmation from 3 cents range. F scammers

At some point there would be SO many additional steps for absolutely everything on a Steam account that you could barely do whatever. And it only annoys regular rule-abiding users. The scammers just make their stupid-ass marks hand over the stuff, now with more hoops to jump through.

Sooner or later you can't protect people from themselves any longer.

Well there are no Steam fraud agents. Since you were already playing along with the scammer, you think that just one more confirmation is what would have saved you? Or is the scammer just going to spin another sentence of story to convince you to continue participating in the scam?

Your best bet isn't more layers of security theater to soothe your ego. Your best bet is to keep your account secure and become educated enough about how scams work to be able to identify scams so you can protect yourself from them. Your ignorance is how you were exploited. No system can ultimately negate your ignorance, but your ignorance can negate system security if it's exploited so you make bad decisions managing your account.

Got literally scammed the same way today. Never thought something like this would happen to me. Luckily it was "only" a 100$ but still makes me Hella paranoid about my Account. I Changed everything(Email, checked API, PW even Phone Number, turned Steam guard Off and on) does anyone now how to make Sure my acc is secure now?

it should be 100% secure bro, no worries but be careful what u install in the future, I went through the same thing twice by now and it sure is annoying since they don't give you the option to turn on confirmation for items under 1dollar.

Make sure you don't have malware

I think we should Enable Steam Confirmation for listing items under $1 and any price. it's better be safe than sorry.
