Don't use wallet money by default (or have a setting where I can choose not to)

[msb]

I have 2.99 on my steam wallet. I don't want to use it to buy games, I want to keep that in the wallet. But when I purchase a new game, it automatically assumes I want to use it.

1. I click on purchase
2. it assumes I'll use my wallet money and ask for the rest of the money
3. I select paypal (because I want to pay all of it using paypal) and authorize in PP page
4. It shows me that I'll pay 2.99 from wallet and the rest from paypal
5. I select to change how I will pay the 2.99
6. I select that I want to pay with paypal, and authorize in paypal page AGAIN
7. finally it's telling me that I'll pay everything using paypal and my wallet will be left alone
8. finally I can confirm my purchase

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I. WANT. TO. PURCHASE. SOMETHING.
The first 5 times I didn't mind, but now it's getting really annoying.

So please dear Steam, give us the option to change this behaviour, as I'm quite frustrated about that.

would be cool if you could use leftover paysafe amounts first

Yes, please Valve

The entire purpose of steam wallet is to allow you to purchase things on steam. Steam wallet money can be earned through the market, which puts that money into your steam wallet which again is only used within steam for your next purchase. Makes no sense to NOT want to use it, when it's only purpose is literally to be spent on things.

You may wish to reserve the wallet funds for market purchases or something like that. Since you cannot add smaller amounts of money than 5$

I know once I used the market funds when I bought a game, then a couple days later wanted to craft some badges, so had to re-up my wallet with 5$.

Just add funds to your steam wallet and use it there However
Hijackers could buy stuff from the market directly from your credit card and sending as a gift to their main accounts without your permission one way or another making you broke!
which is why valve decided not to add this feature. but its pretty smart if you think about it.

Your welcome for the tip.

Oh really? I thought the purpose of steam wallet was to get paid interest and eventually become rich! How silly of me.... *facepalm*
I do NOT want to use it because I don't want to pay 0.06 (six CENTS of a dollar) out of my credit card in one transaction to buy that last missing card to craft my badge. So when I buy a game, I want to KEEP the pocket money currently in my wallet, so that I can spend this pocket money later in cheap cards.
Now, if you can't see how this makes sense, nobody can help you. :-/

Simple as that. Not that hard to understand, is it "Living Tribunal"? :p

I'm not the one who needs help, seeing as the system is working as I described.

As you can only add a minimum amount at a time, they want to keep the 2 or 3 (currency type undetermined) that they have to make small purchases of cards and emotes.

If you use the wallet funds, then you have to, every time you want to buy a card for 20 cents, add $5 USD to make that single purchase.

if you don't, then you can just keep the 3$ and chip away as it slowly, or if you are selling/buying you'll keep a small running balance without the need to keep adding individual $5 amounts.
